Fuck-Shit Tooth

[sitonmyinterface]

Because I waited on my wisdom teeth, because they were "just trying to get my money", I have to get a coronectomy from an oral surgeon this Friday because two nerves are running over the root of the tooth. Luckily it's just one tooth and it's lower so I won't have to worry about my sinuses getting fucked up.

Honestly, the thing I am most nervous about it the twilight sedation. I have never gotten that before so just nervous about the unknown, even though I know I will be out of it and won't care or remember after.

The pain should be significant, and while I get Norcos, I won't be able to take them on an empty stomach and won't be able to fill my stomach with something substantial.

I am going to take motrin and THC syrup instead.

I too waited it out.
I had mine removed when I was 30, after my daughter was born.
mine weren't causing any pain or damage, just jutting into other teeth.

my regular old dentist took 'em out, no sedation of any kind required.
he numbed me up and that was that!

afterwards, it wasn't the pain that bothered me, it was the pressure.

good luck <3

I had another impacted and the dentist took care of it, even had to cut it in half to do so but it was fine, but since there were two nerves up on this one, it was a whole song and dance. I have stiches going along my bone inside my cheek, does that makes sense? I think I was brutalized.

that sucks.

I mean, you might've been brutalized, I don't want to jump to any conclusions because everyone's body is different.

I will tell you that I didn't have any stitches, and nothing happened to my cheeks...
