Just got my wisdom teeth pulled

[Chris]

...and I can't speak with anyone, so you lot are my only form of communication. It's kind of weird that I'm not hindered from doing so. Apparently three previous surgeries (unrelated and rather more involved than this one) have given me some sort of tolerance or quick recovery from general anesthesia. Plus, I don't look like a chipmunk like everyone said I would. I guess that's a plus. But man, my face is friggin numb.

[Salka]

Awww, sorry to hear that. But why would you look like a chipmunk? I don't understand that part.

[Chris]

Everyone told me I would due to swelling.

[Salka]

Oh, I see.

But, why did they pull your tooth? Why not just pull your hair, or another easily accessible part of your body? Did they hold you down or something? And how did somebody fit enough of their fist into your mouth to pull your wisdom tooth? Pieces of this story aren't fitting together, man.

Also: to both my post and yours.

[MrHoatzin]

Everyone told me I would due to swelling.

Oh. Due to swelling... and here I was thinking you'd develop a stripe from your forhead all the way to your lower back...

[Intrepid Homoludens]

Um, I think Chris is right.

[Salka]

He is so cute.

I had 4 (smaller and easier) teeth removed ages ago over a couple of weeks. For the last one, I had to have 3 bloody injections due to my increasing tolerance to the anaesthetic. God, having someone repeatedly stick needles into my gums is horrible! I shudder remembering it I don't think I looked like a chipmunk after, though I'm sure wisdom teeth removal creates a lot more trauma in your mouth than the teeth nearer the front.

Jesus Christ, what do you guys do to yourself that you're immune to the anaesthetic? Even looking at that stuff would knock me out, probably. Hell, looking at the needle would knock me out. Although, that's because I am terrified of needles. In fact, they could save on the anaesthetic and just show me photographs of clowns and needles, and wasps.

[Salka]

Man, uh... that's pretty much exactly what I was going to say!

[MrChlorophyll]

I'm more or less immune to novicane (novicain?). Makes life quite miserable. But after about the third hit the needle stops hurting, anyway.

But when I had my wisdom teeth pulled, the knocked me out, total dopage like I couldn't believe, and gave me a bottle of generic vicodin.

But 4 or 6 extra strength tylenol has the same effect really.

I'm sure my liver was thrilled.

[MrChlorophyll]

Oh, also, do not - DO NOT - eat popcorn the day after.

Not good times.

my new dentist is a lady dentist and i was mightily impressed with her technique with the needle. it goes in oh so gently that you can hardly feel it at all. the previous guy just shoved it in there. she has a foxy little assistant too who she bosses around during the operation. now I enjoy going to the dentist. good, eh?

I'm quite sure Metalmickey was talking about a local anesthetic. No unconsciousness there

Who's Edd?

[Thrik]

I don't want to lose my wisdom teeth. I like being wise.

[Erwin_Br]

My dentist has advised me to get rid of them too.

[Salka]

Who's Edd?

The Bacon fellow with the blue avatar, I think

EDIT: Nope, MetalMickey.

I don't need to get my teeth pulled out, thank god. My teeth have always been in prime condition.

[Ryam BaCo]

good old ryam thinks that dentists are evil and avoids them as good as he can

[Mattsius]

We're talking wisdom teeth here. It's the redundant ones that pop up from nowhere and make it crowded in there.

I haven't got any yet though. I'll probably get them when I'm 80 years old or something.

[Erwin_Br]

My wisdom teeth are growing towards a nerve or something. The longer I wait, the more painful it'll be when they'll have to be pulled out eventually.

I know, but so far my wisdom teeth haven't caused any problems.

*feels for his teeth*

Oh damn.

That's what they told me two years ago, those bastards.

My dentist may be evil, but for different reasons than the stereotype. He's good at what he does, you know, quick and painless . But every time I go out there he gives me a handful of these good chocolates, and gives away yoo-hoos to the younger kids (his receptionist also once offered my mom a glass of wine, perfect for when she is about to drive me home). But with all this sugar he will likely give his patents cavities, and ensure a steady line of customers. He’s evil, evil I tell you!
