Bambi92 Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 Hi all Figured id share and see if anyone else has had the problem I do. My wisdom tooth on the left bottom is coming through and my gun is swollen and sore as hell that's not the problem though I went an see a dentist today had an x ray done (finally after 15 mins of trying to get my piercings out lol) and as soon as I seen them I knew I was in for something painful. My two bottom wisdom teeth are curled inside the gum and sitting on the main nerve on both sides and also almost right on top of my jaw bone again on both sides I was told I have to be knocked out to get all 4 pulled out and that there's a possibility that they could break my bottom jaw while trying to get them out because of how close they are to the bone. I really wish she didn't tell me that because now I'm scared that its going to happen. Anyone had this problem? My brother had his wisdom teeth out because they curled as well and they broke it and some of its still there I'm hoping that doesn't happen though Sent from my GT-I8530 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydiamond Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 ouch it sounds painful but they did say they're gonna give sedatives... I have no advice but I'll say this: hang in there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 I had 4 out in the chair under sedation, I was awake but it was super-duper intravenous stuff as I would have happily let them take my right arm if they wanted LOL. Anyway, I was about 24 and it was no drama at all. A little sore afterwards but really not much at all, basically a couple of panadol and you are fine. Don't stress it Laura it really is made out to be much worse than it really is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elyse Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 I went to the dentist to see if they could pull my wisdom teeth (another dentist had suggested it). Besides the cost (~$400 per tooth), they said there is a possibility of completely losing the feeling in my lips and bottom mouth area for the rest of my life. So....nope. I practically ran out of there, all 4 wisdom teeth still intact. The top ones have grown in...still waiting for the bottom ones, its a long process...and when I get those days when my teeth just ache and ache...ugh. My brother broke his jaw a few years ago (motorcycle accident), he had to live on a liquid diet for months and he was in constant pain even though he was given pain meds. And it was expensive to keep him fed...meal replacement drinks are about $3 each over here, and he needed atleast 5-6 of them a day to keep healthy. I guess you have to weigh the value of the benefits vs the risk. Try getting a 2nd (and maybe a third) opinion, too. Are any of your other teeth at risk? Did you ask them what would happen if you didn't get them removed? Again, get a 2nd or a third opinion about this too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahp87 Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 I'm 26 and mine have pretty much all come through. They caused pain when coming through but since haven't caused me any issues. I guess I have a big enough gob for them LOL!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bambi92 Posted January 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Thanks all to just get them checked privately its $190 but if I go through the hospital its free. A friend of mine has to have all 4 of hers out to and the cheapest she has been quoted is $2200 (not sure what that is in other currencies) I don't have that sort of money I could hardly move my bottom jaw yesterday they numbed it and cleaned out the area but once that the numbing stuff wore off it hurt again, I've had it annoy me before but nothing like this hurts to talk and move i can't eat or drink properly it sux lol Depending on what they say at the assessment appointment depends on what I do I most likely won't get that appointment for a few months if I can come up with the money I'll see the private one see what he says hate the whole waiting game though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Dunc has had this prob with his wisdom tooth - they managed to get it out, if you can try Orajel - you rub the gel on your gums and it numbs it - i've horrendous toothache at the moment and it's really helping x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emma Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Ouch. I had a brace when I was a teen which spread out my teeth, leaving no room for my wisdom teeth to come through so had them all taken out when I was asleep. early last year my son had one taken out also due to overcrowding. We both found that we were a bit sore for a few days and our faces bruised (mine swelled up too, lol). The bruising went through every colour of the rainbow then disappeared and everything was back to normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frenchie Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Ouch sounds very painful :/ hope the dentist is experienced and doesn't mess it up! I'd be freaking out if they told me they might break my jaw bone, and expect me to pay for the procedure too lol I'm pretty lucky, my wisdom teeth are all pretty much half way out and not causing me any trouble Hope all goes well xx Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
