Re: Ugh

BTW, if its impacted and they have to do surgery just go the GA route man. Its better to just sleep and wake up and have everything over with.

Plus when you wake up, you feel *really* good for a couple of hours! ;-)

Re: Ugh

no need to go general anasthetic, as it costs more. vallium sedation (a pill beforehand) and you won't remember crap anyways, especially if you're only getting one tooth removed. personally though, i'd get all 4 taken out.

Re: Ugh

When I got a wisdom tooth out under a local anaesthetic I kept telling the surgeon I could still feel the needle until he told me it was impossible that I could still feel anything in my mouth and that he wouldn't give me any more. I still couldn't feel anything about 8 hours later when I went to sleep It hurt a fair bit the next day though. Anaesthetic works much better than painkillers.

Re: Ugh

Yeah and then Kamal can take a visit to the Gastoenterologist to get his stomach unfried

You are going to give him all that just because he has a toothache? , what you posted up there is the protocol for a post op. major surgery.

The ibuprofen is enough for what he is got , to prescribe the other stuff you mentioned you would need to take a look at his xrays + do a clinical examination and last but not least a Medical History questionary .

Nonsense. Painkiller wise it's perfectly safe to take Ibruprofen with Paracetamol and Codeine and the vallium will chill him out until he gets the antibiotics. My dentist wouldn't have advised me to do it unless it was safe and i didn't need a visit to the Gastoenterologist, an x-ray, clinical examination or a medical history questionary....

Besides, Ibuprofen alone is not enough for severe toothache, it's anti inflammatory property is good but severe toothache requires a proper painkiller like codeine.

You ever had an abcess?

Well , like you said , your dentist that probably knows you from previous dental appointments, every patient is different and IMHO all that is way too much to take to any random person without even knowing what the patients medical history is.

You cannot just throw out medicine like that for everybody. if that would be the case ... hell why call the dentist for this sort of thing when you can just google the answer.

Re: Ugh

Aww hun I am sorry you are in pain and going through this
I had an impacted wisdom tooth removed over a year ago and it got infected so I had to take antibiotics before I could have it removed. It was growing in sideways and had to be cut out....I was in pain for a bit, but they give you T3's which are wonderful, hehe.

Mine cost just over $500 CDN so you are probably looking at about the same and that is with being put under to have it removed.

Re: Ugh

I got all 4 pulled so this Game is over for me thanks God. 3 of them were like normal teeth when they were pulled and did not hurt at all but the last one was a Nightmare. I still have bad dreams about that day lol. I felt secure because the other wisdom teeth were no problem at all and I never understood others when they complained about their dental treatments. For the last one, it took the doctor over half an hour to get it out and he sat on me and used a lot of pressure and I still remember the sounds of the tooth cracking in my mouth. It took so long he had to give me another dose of the narcotics and in the end I was completely wet through with perspiration. Sorry Kamal, I know I am no help but I had to share this traumatic experience. Wisdom teeth suck and I am glad they are all out.

Re: Ugh

^^ Pulled all 4 of my wisdoms in the late '80 - went back to work but was too buzzed on the painkillers.

Get well Kamal

A man has a toothache, so he goes to see his dentist.

After examining the tooth, the dentist tells the man he is going to have to give him an injection for the pain.

The man says, "No way! I don't want an injection."

The dentist replies, "OK, I'll give you gas."

"Noooo!" shrieks the man. "I don't want any gas."

"Fine," says the dentist, "I'm going to give you some Viagra!"

"Viagra?" exclaims the man. "What for?"
"You're going to need something to hang on to when I pull your tooth!"
