Tooth extractions

[neatbik]

Went to the dentist today to have a tooth extracted. They initially told me that the actual extraction would only take a few minutes.

One and a half hours, 5 shots of anaesthetic, a shit load of pushing/pulling/cracking later and its out. Only trouble was she had to remove the next tooth along aswell as it was stopping the 'bad' one from coming out.

Feel like i've been punched in the face now.

Anyway, the worst bit is i forgot to bring my teeth home to put under my pillow for the tooth fairy.

Sounds shoddy to me. They should have done x rays to determine how best to remove the tooth. 2 jabs per tooth is standard. I had 4 out and they took 2 out per session. Each session took about 40 minutes but most of that was waiting for the jabs to kick in. One side hurt like a bitch, it felt like i'd broken my jaw, and judging by the number of bits of bone that came out i might well have done.
The other side was done 2 weeks later and still hurt less than the side that was done 2 weeks ago!

I had a whale of a time during my extraction but I was off my face on valium at the time. He broke the tooth at one point which I thought was funny. I was picking bits of bone out of my gums for ages afterwards (it's like teething again). Seems like they're always messy but to lose an extra tooth is unfortunate.

[J.M.]

I kicked up such a fuss that I would only let them remove my 2 teeth whilst I was under general anesthetic.

I closed my eyes one second, woke up a while later in no pain with 2 less teeth.

Perfect.

I like the ploppy noise they make when they come out

most of my teeth are broken or rotting
I have no nerves left in the remaining teeth, last extraction I had the anaesthetic had no effect
but I didn't have any pain though I could feel the tooth coming out
quite a "Hollow" feeling
though quite a few joints before the procedure might explain the lack of pain

Had a baby tooth forcefully extracted when I was younger that was painful enough wasn't told I was having it done, when it was done it was with no painkillers and I was only 5 at the time.

Never liked dentists since.

I have had 2 teeth taken out in the past 5 or 6 years.

Damn, it was painful

Felt like it for a week, breath smelt bad for a while

[neatbik]

Well, i'm a bit sore today...

Interestingly, the tooth that wasn't supposed to come out was a baby tooth - according to the xray the adult tooth is present underneath, but they don't know if it will make an appearance or not.

I hate the dentists I've got to have a root canal, one of the most painful things going :/

[neatbik]

Same here mate, i was shitting myself when i went in.

It seemed to take so long though that i was bored more than anything after a while.

[aydiethelion]

I'm responsible though, ive always been lazy brushing my teeth in the evening and i smoke and drink slot of coke. Now i got this root canal thing to look forward too, Colgate has become my best friend! LOOL

[Imonster]

Root canals shouldn't be painful - I had one about this time last year in one of my front and centre teeth and it was a walk in the park. Numbing injection smarted a bit mind:

Dr Nick from The Simpsons style dentist: "The injection hurts because it's going into your sinuses."*

Me: "FUUUUUUUUUU......dribble, dribble, GAH!"

Five seconds of discomfort was infinitely preferable to the alternative mind...

* Don't know whether this is physically possible or whether he's batshit loco. He's done a pretty good job over the years though.

I'm not going back to my dentist again, after coming round from the local anesthetic, I found foot prints in the arm rests.

[Ayrton]

I have to go for a filling tommorow, thank god its the last of 7 ive had to have done... Worst part is having people try to talk to you when your jaw is all numb...

I had something close to a root canal before. Worst part was having a girl from my school watch for work experiance cant remember what it was, but its the most pain i have ever felt. Now everything else just seems minor in comparison.
