ouch, ouch, ouch,,,,,,,

Well at least ya know you'll feel better soon. Its just getting through this phase now that you've punished yourself long enough. I know nobody likes going to the dentist medically or financially, at least I don't. Sleep tight and don't let the bed bugs bite, but if they do, hit em over the head with a shoe till their eyes turn black & blue, then they won't bite you. See I'm a poet and don't know it, I'm Longfellow. Get out of here already. OK I will.

Yep - have 2 and a wisdom tooth that should come out - but no pain so they might just stay until . 

Well  since they were there you put more bacon and eggs on for all the helping hands.

I sure wish I hadn’t read this post.
Last time I went to a dentist was 1986. He was a traveling dentist set up in an old bread truck. I went to see him and he said my lower wisdom teeth needed to come out. He hired a girl off the street to run the suction hose. She gave me shots in the top gum but the teeth were in the bottom gum. They gave me 11 shots. He told me I shouldn’t feel a thing that’s when I told him to give me one in the bottom gum. He asked the girl where she gave the shots she said the top. One more and to work he went. It was grown in my jaw bone and he had to grind away a lot of bone and break the tooth to get it done. I got an arm loose and punched him in the face. He got mad and really went to work. The girl running the suction hose passed out. It took 4 hrs to get it done. I wound up in the hospital to get the bleeding stopped. He gave me 500 Perkidans??? Which my sis in law flushed down the toilet. I had a rough few days after that. The dentist left that part of the country after a couple more episodes like that. He told me to take the other wisdom tooth to the grave.
I haven’t been to a dentist since that day. Fast forward Jenny has me an appointment set up and that other wisdom tooth has been giving me some trouble. I’ve honestly never dreaded anything like I’m dreading this appointment.
Still to this day you can feel a gouge out of my jaw.

Back in my high school days had an old dentist with an office above the local hardware store. He did not use any deadening for filling teeth, just started grinding . OUCH!!! Lost two front teeth during my first year of college and had a four unit bridge put in, it is still there 52+ years later. Now I go to the dentist every 6 months for a cleaning and checkup, only a few minor fillings over the years.  And having a dental hygienist that is easy on the eyes makes the visits more pleasant. Advice to the younger Forum members: take care of those teeth, they are the only good set you will ever have.

Had my wisdom teeth taken out when I was in the Air Force.  Had a short Army dentist do it.  I swear he climbed up on my chest and used a hammer and chisel to take out the bottom ones!  He told me when he was gonna take another whack at it.  I didn't talk too much for a couple days!

My wisdom teeth would never fully grow out of the gums, not impacted just not enough room where the dentist finally sent me to a oral surgeon. Knocked my arse OUT and took all four at once awoke to a sweet little gal talking soft to wake me up, made my day at 20.

My teeth always been bad for fillings and decay, Dad had bad teeth ended up losing all the uppers in the Navy both his parents had false teeth, both grands on mom's side had false teeth too. Mom worked diligently on hers all the time, still had cavities and had to have some removed.

My older brothers' teeth were crooked as a bad laid fence, both had gum issues, were absolutely obsessed with brushing and flossing as is my younger brother, they lost teeth early think one Lost five in a year almost nothing for tooth roots for them. Me, tooth care took second rate to almost anything else, lost wisdoms early, have lost three in last eight years, mid sixties and still have Most of my originals with one bridge and a few crowns. Roots on my teeth are so deep the dentist HATES to do root canal or dealing with a removal as is defined work, not just a tug and gone.

Call the dentist tough guy.

You might have what is called a dry socket or you might have a bit of food lodged in there. Go see the dentist.

had all my teeth pulled (all at the same time) in a dentist's office back in the late 80's. best thing I ever did! I did have a few fantome tooth aches after for about a week.
