Well, my appointment was at 9:30, i had all 4 impacted wisdom teeth, which means extraction for all of them
**Dont be scared to do all 4! my bestfriend has the same problem as me, and wants to have hers done on 2 appointments, which is stupid, i asked my doctor, and its the exact same recovery ether way! but if you want to go through it all twice.. be my guest (:
When i walked into the office, i was immediately sent to a room (yes i was so panicked), they first show you a video to clear things up, aka why your having it done, etc and to clear that its not as painfull as most say it is!!
After that i was taken to get x-rays to make sure one more time.. (throught the whole process i was constanly asked if i had to go to the bathroom.. so i suggest you go, even if you dont have to!)
next after waiting for about 30 minutes.. i was redirected to the surgery room... (yes surgery)... i was shocked, i was expecting to be put to sleep with gas or something (like in finding nemo ;p) but enstead my doctor placed a breathing device on me.. (You know those pointie tubes they put on peoples noses during surgery? or at hospitals? those haha), next i was attached to a preassure giving thing (My arm, it would squeeze everytime i started freaking out), next i was hooked to a machine by 5 sticker looking things (a couple on chest, stomach, and sides) followed by the horrible IV shot (intervenial.. i guess they hook a needle to your arm or something, honestly i did not want to even look), next a heartbeat machine was placed.. and 5 minutes later the nurse came and placed the anesthesia through the IV opening... a part which i do not remmeber...
i woke up and was in a different room with ice on my cheeks, i did not have pain, i was just sleepy.. shortly after i was placed on a wheelchair and taken to the car..
got home, took my antibiotics and painkillers (squashed and mixed with water... i just cannot swallow pills)... shortly i fell asleep.. woke up, and was still drowsie, not a lot of pain, pain killers take care of that, MY CHEEKS WERE HUGE THOUGH, and i mean HUGE, you will constantly feel like your starving, (heads up), but the minute you eat anything will feel like you just ate a cow
(it is day 5) now, and my diet has consisted, of tons of water, juices, yogurt, ice cream, soup and oatmeal, i have not even tried to chew anything, as a matter of fact i cannot fully open my mouth yet, and laughing hurts
my whole mouth is still sore though.. (i am now off painkillers by choice) the painkillers can cause you to become constipated, aka you cannot go do number 2 ;p, which for me was way more painfull that the mouth pain... your mouth will just feel like you just had braces on, or had them tightnen, which i had braces before, so i can cope with it
hope this cleared things for some ;p
