Re: OT: Narf has no more wisdom...Teeth. Owie Owie
About a year or two ago, I had three wisdom teeth taken out all at once...not a pleasant experience. They just gave me a local anesthetic, plus some pill that made everything...a little strange. Time was really compressed, it felt like 5 minutes but was more like 45.
After that, they didn't even send me home with narcotic painkillers, only the wussy Tylenol 3's, which didn't do a damn thing for the pain.
Kwok, push for them to give you the narcotics, would make the recovery a lot nicer!

Re: OT: Narf has no more wisdom...Teeth. Owie Owie
I had all four of my wisdom teeth taken out a few years ago. They knocked me out completely because they also had to take a 5th tooth out that came in in the wrong spot.
I was loopy for a few hours after the surgery. It felt really strange when they pulled the stuffing out of my mouth when I woke up. But overall it was a relatively pain free procedure.
They sent me home with powerful painkillers, but I forget what they were called.
The very next day I was cutting down trees and acting like normal.

When I had my wisdom teeth pulled I had put it off so long that the after surgery pain was actually less than the before surgery pain.

Re: OT: Narf has no more wisdom...Teeth. Owie Owie
Well, 32+ hours and my gums are still bleeding. Trust me, you don't want to hear more than that. I'm headed into the doctor.
My first wisdom tooth was pretty painless. But then, that dentist was so good I actually nearly fell asleep during the teeth-cleaning. Seriously, if I was even a little bit more relaxed that time, I would have been out like a light.

Re: OT: Narf has no more wisdom...Teeth. Owie Owie
Over the past month, I've had a total of six teeth pulled. My dentist told me that if the bleeding didn't stop within three hours, I should try wrapping a teabag in gauze, then wetting it and packing it against the gum. The tannic acid in the tea is supposed to help stop the bleeding.
(I'm not sure how much it helped, though. I didn't stop bleeding either time until sometime after I went to bed that night.)

Yeah, we called the dentist and he recommended tea bags. They do seem to be working.
