Default Wisdom tooth = teh suck.

Man this sucks... so far been on meds pretty hard. Just had two lower wisdom teeth removed, but the left one was lodged in there pretty good, so they used forceps to force it out. yay.

Knocked me out with an IV ("you'll feel a pinch when i put the IV in" * pinch* -30 seconds later - "ZzzzZzzzz")

So sick of mashed potatoes.... Must drive my S...

So right about now blood clotts are slowly starting to peel off/rip off.

Anyone want to buy my left over Vicadin?


Before I start getting PM offers I'm joking

Next time (you still have 2 more wisdom teeth, right?) try Dr. Stanley Tong on VanNess. No BS I had him take two of my wisdom teeth out and I actually fell asleep both times (just had local). He's good!

Hey, that's not fair, I had all four of my wisdom teeth pulled when I was in high school, and they didn't give me any Vicodin!

Is it recommended to drive to and from the oral surgeon?

I had 5 pulled on the same day. All four wisdom and a molar. The nurses were pretty so it's all good. They had to help me up and to a cot. I had to lean on and grope their breasts on the way to the cot. You know how it is.
Insurance. Try your medical. It is a surgery. I put my kids extractions through on the medical because it does pay more. I have Blue Cross. Ask your dentist. You can't live with those things when they are coming through and they will crowd your teeth. I think there is a dentist in S2k somewhere. He could tell you what to do. My youngest daughter hasn't had hers come in yet so I think we are done for awhile. I remember those things hurting like hell. Yankum!

I got lame a$$ 800mg ibuprofin when I had my wisdom teeth out. The best part is when you doze off and wake up with what you think is drool and it is blood. Yeah!

damn, so like I need to take 4 out. Stanley Chan on Van Ness said it gonna be like $2k including anesthesia.

I have like $1200 left for the year with Delta. Damn man, I don't feel like coughing up the rest of the cash. My teeth aren't hurting, but I kind of want to take them out. Anybody know anybody else?
