My mouth is full of blood. And I can't spit it out, because it needs to clot over THE HUGE HOLE IN MY SKULL WHERE MY WISDOM TOOTH USED TO BE.

So far I have a side of my face so tingly and anesthesied that I'm not even sure whether i'm biting my tongue or not, and yet I can still feel the slight sting that's characteristic of "hey, look, there's a hole in your skin".

There's a hole in my SKULL. D: And if there's one feeling I HATE, it's the crunching, slightly screechy sound/feel of a tooth breaking. *shudders*

Also, my neck is so tense and full of knots I can barely touch my chin to my collarbone. I need to teach my mom to do massages, or something.


... comparatively speaking, it wasn't as bad as I expected. Now let's see if the clot forms properly. D:




edit several hours later: Okay, now it's hurting a bit. More uncomfortable ache that AUGH HOSPITAL, though. I haven't taken any painkillers yet, so if that changes, I can fix it easily. ^^

*c-comforts through her terror* Oh god, I should just not read these because I'm only going to get paranoid.

It wasn't as bad as you expected? Really? Do you...do you think it will be worse or about the same if you get four wisdom teeth out at the same time? Can you drink or eat anything? DID THEY GIVE YOU PROPER PAIN MEDS??

*whimpers* Oh man, three more weeks. I'm going to die.

[askerian]

*petpet* No, seriously, it didn't really hurt at all, it just pinched a bit at the beginning. The worst was the way I could feel my skull moving with his pressure on my tooth, and I scared myself thinking up silly scenarios where he broke off my jaw. XD I've never had a broken bone so I have no real clue how far you can push before it breaks, but I'd figure a doctor would know. The only reason he broke my tooth was that it was rotten. Now it's sore and I still can't feel my tooth, but that's it.

Also i'm not allowed hot foods and should be particularly careful not to disturb the clotting, but I can eat. right now i'm not eating because i'm not too sure where my teeth are compared to my tongue and cheek, but that's gonna pass in a hour or two. XD I can drink, I even bought a hyper-nummy fruity cold drink as a treat to myself ant it goes down with no problem; I just can't, like, gargle with it. XD

I'm not sure how differently things happen when it's all four teeth in one go, but I know one of my friends went to the hospital for it and was entirely under as they did their thing. But seriously, it was very stressful, but in the end everything went very well. *petpet* that just makes for a less interesting LJ post, is all. 9__9

I had 3 removed at once and I slept the whole time :D
Have some ice prepared, it will be useful (make the person that's going to fetch you after your operation bring some). I used to eat it more than to apply it on my cheeks :D
Couldn't eat properly for about 2 weeks so start thinking about very easy things to eat without needing to chew.

As for the pain, well... It wasn't really painful at first but it became quite a trouble after a few days for me. Just stay warm! It was mostly painful when I was out in the winter wind >.< I had to take painkillers for a few days v_v

[meanne77.livejournal.com]

Courage ! Je suis passée par là y'a un mois et demi ! Le plus pénible, c'est de ne pas pouvoir manger... (je crois que j'ai jamais eu autant envie de manger et surtout de mâcher et croquer que pendant les 2 semaines où je n'ai pas pu le faire) Hum, ça et le sale goût dans la bouche -_-

[askerian]

Deux semaines? DD: Putain.

La mienne est partie sans complications, il m'a juste dit de faire gaffe pendant deux jours, que le sang coagule comme il faut. J'espère que ça va pas durer bien plus longtemps que ça. ~_~

[scorpionocean.livejournal.com]

oh. my. goodness. I gotta make an appointment for the dentist and I've got wisdom teeth D: not. helping

[askerian]

XD;;; *petpetsoothe* see my reply to des_butterfly. I was very stressed out, but in the end nothing really bad happened. I just like freaking out once and getting it out of the way, like that i can calm down faster. XD

[sparklemagpie.livejournal.com]

*hugs you very much* Wisdow teeth are the SUCK! I remember well what it was like to have freezing leeching out of my tooth sockets for days and having to spit instead of swallow because the stuff made me so ill. @_o

Good luck on proper clotting and no dry sockets and all that jazz. *offers many neck massages*

[askerian]

*cuddlelovesqueeze* *massaged* ♥_♥

[sunhawk16.livejournal.com]

Awwww... *huggle pets* It'll be ok; it's really not all that bad, and I don't think that clotting thing is as easy to mess up as they imply... it's just a royal pain if it happens, apparently, so they're all super cautious about it. I don't think I've ever met anybody who had it happen. I've had all four of mine done and I'd have to say the worst part was the noise. >_<;;

[askerian]

I know it's a royal pain if it happens, because I did it the last time, a few years ago, and then my hole got infected and I was in constant pain for a week. It wasn't extreme pain, but it never stopped, and that really made it horrible. XD So yeah, definitely going to be careful. XD;;;

The noise is horrible. T__T

[icedark-elf.livejournal.com]

*sends sympathies*

See, this is part of the reason I made them knock me out when they pulled my three wisdom teeth. That, and I had already lived through them pulling five others. *mutters evilly about braces and lack of room*

I hope you feel okay soon.

[askerian]

nngh, I couldn't stand being knocked out. I'd rather be awake and in pain. But I wasn't in much pain at all, so ehh.

It's sore now, but that's it.

[elict.livejournal.com]

Oh g-god... P-please don't t-talk about it... I'm starting to have my wisdom teeth now, and it's one of my greatest fears to have to remove one or more of them.

*awkward hug because of shaking from too much dental thoughts*

[askerian]

Aw! I ddn't mean to scare you ^^; It's going fine so far, I just needed to whine a bit. I'm sorry, hon. *petpetsoothe*

[stripedpetunia.livejournal.com]

I had to chomp gauze for almost two hours after I had mine pulled to make the bleeding stop. If you apply ice (20 minutes on, 20 off) for the swelling, it'll slow down the blood flow too.

ICE CREAM IS YOUR FRIEND. :DDDDD

[askerian]

Haha. No, mine stopped bleeding freely in about ten minutes. Now it's just welling up slowly and trying to clot. ~__~ Good idea about the ice, though, thanks. Shall do that right away. ~__~

[animeprincess.livejournal.com]

=_o this is me. I can't feel under my right eye right now, damned Novocaine. Yes, i was at the dentist today too; i had cavities dun and a "descaling" of my teeth. and ONLY 1/4 is DONE. *wail*

; ; i feel yer pain, I remember my wisdom teeth getting out, and i had laughing gas. and Percoset. mmmmm.

I took a Valium before this visit, so i just cared less about the needles, i guess, I still cried, and I really don't wanna hafta go baaaaaaaack.

*flopcry*

[askerian]

eek. *petpetrublicks*

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

... you were awake. This is me being horrified. When I got my wisdom teeth pulled, they put me under completely. And if they didn't, I was going to tell the doctor to club me over the back of the head with a 2x4, because there's no way I could get that done and still be awake.

DDDDDD:

[askerian]

I'd rather be awake actually. Because if I was put under, I don't know that I would ever wake up. So no. DDD:

[book-people.livejournal.com]

Yuck! That sounds vaguely horrifying. *feels the wisdom tooth coming in with some trepidation*

Hope you feel better soon! It can't be terrible forever, right? ^_^?

Adi

Oh, the pain, the pain!

[pollywilmut.livejournal.com]

See, what You have done?! Now, I remember my own tooth extraction. It was over 20 years ago, but now it is all coming back to me (you are too good at writing such descriptions). But the worst thing at that time was that I had to go to school just after extraction... I was looking like a crazy vampire. And my PE teacher said that having my wisdom tooth removed is not a reason for not making a handstands - she was a crazy sadist. It was not my best day and I have forgotten all about it, but now after your very colourful description... I am going to read something sweet and fluffy and try to repress this memory. I wish You all the best.

I know your pain T_T. I had a tooth removed a few days ago, and it's NOT a nice feeling :(. The bleeding wouldn't stop for about a whole day after it was finishes either :(. By now, the bleeding has since several days ago stopped and the worst of the pain has all but disappeared. But I just can't get used to the feeling of having a hole in the mouth :(. Especially not since food gets into it all of the time! Aaaarrrgghhhh!

This... just makes me want to hope that I am like my mum and my wisdom teeth never come through... *shudders*

*soothes* I hope the painkillers work.

*too arsed to sign in at school*

Oh gawd that sounds like it sucks, and I never even have a cavity filled (never had any, natch). I'm also terrorfied that could happen to me because I think my wisdom teeth are only half emerged...they don't hurt at least..

However since you can't spit it out, or drink from the sounds of it, check with your dentist or doc if you can use some cloath or gauze or /something/ to clean your tongue. And then maybe if you're lucky you can suck on a another bit soaked with water or juice or somesuch.

And /I'D/ give you a massage just to make you feel better, with no intent on peeking over your shoulder at ficcies or bribing you to write more. Really.

The in ability to move your neck much could be the musscles but could also be your joints, like when you really need to crack your knuckles and after you have more range of motion? This is not a proffesional diagnosis, but rather a personal one. After cracking my neck I get a few more noticable degrees.

You could try what I do. But, it freaks a hella lot of people out so I won't describe it *cuts out all the typing she did to describe it*

I find cracking your neck, esp. your upper neck that's bloody hard to get to any other way. The atlas and axis and C3, can help alot with neck pain and mobility.

I know neck pain and sometimes that's the only thing that can help (because I too, lack anyone to give me a massage ;-;)

But, I would SO give you a massage, or teach your mum a few things. *points at subject line* My School? The Swedish Institute. That's the bloody Harvard of Massage Therapy. *wiggles her magic fingers*

*hugglelicks*

[askerian]

Ehh, I just like to whine. XD Really it's annoying, but it's not the end of the world either.

Using a wet cloth to clean my tongue sounds like a great idea, though, thanks. i'll try it. because, really, EWW. x_x

My back is always very tense, I must be the tensest person ever. I'm like a five feet tall ball of nerves and muscles. XD When my friends try to give me massages, they always end up stopping after 10 minutes because their hands hurt and they're barely making any progress. I have knots everywhere. XD *steals you so you can stand behind my computer chair all day* We could have a profitable mutual arrangement here... >D

*cuddles* thank you for the comment. ^__^

[hiza-chan.livejournal.com]

Oh god. It hurts that much? I have to go get mine removed sometime within the month... Wahh! Now I'm scared. T_T

[askerian]

^^;; It didn't hurt at all, merely pinched a bit. i'm sore and it's a bother, and it tastes really awful, but that's it. I just like to freak out once and for all, and then i can forget about it. XD

[license-points.livejournal.com]

Aah, get better soon!

I got all 4 out at the same time. And I was drooling blood for two days.
