4 less teeth

[OldTownPilot]

I had a few of my teeth pulled years ago. 4 impacted wisdom teeth and 4 bicuspids (too make room for braces). I took the easy road and went for the general anesethic. I was quite lucky and didn't bruise or swell and was back to school in about 2 days.

I found out later it all depends on the DR and the drugs he uses on how much you swell.

The Doc said he put some anti-swelling stuff in me. Had them out Wed. morning and did not start swelling until Thurs. PM. I was off the good stuff and back to work on Friday (and have worked every day since then). People there did not the even noticed swelling at first look. One side is still a little sore, but its barely noticeable.

If ya'll ever need anything to dissuade you from doing crystal meth, google "meth mouth" sometime. Makes getting your wisdom teeth pulled seem like a picnic in the park.

I had mine out just before I started A&P school. I was supposed to be out like a light, but kept on waking up. The last time I had woke up he was in the middle of trying to get the tooth out and I bit down hard(I was delerious and had no clue what was happening)...... Needless to say he had a few choice words, lol. He made sure I was out after that.
