Question 1

Very little: With modern anesthesia and sedation it is possible that you may not feel any pain.  Check with your dentist before starting to get an idea of your concerns.

Question 2

afraid to get wisdom teeth pulled?

Accepted Answer

Don't be afraid..: Extraction of wisdom teeth is a routine procedure. Speak to your oral surgeon for an explanation of the procedure, and discuss antianxiety meds or even being put to sleep. It will not be as bad as you might imagine.

Question 3

do i absolutely need to get wisdom teeth pulled?

Accepted Answer

No absolutes. : Not everyone needs their wisdom teeth removed. Some people do not have them. Some erupt normally with adequate space. However, some are in poor position that can damage other teeth, cause repeat infections , have caries, or cause pain or other problems. These wisdom teeth are evaluated and determined the risk or harm. Your dentist is your best to talk to.

Question 4

is it painful to get wisdom teeth pulled with only nitrous and novocaine and no iv sedation?

Accepted Answer

No.: I routinely use only local anesthetic. The reasons for using IV sedation are anxiety/pain control, administration of steroids to control swelling and, possibly, for access to a vein for administration of emergency drugs if the patient has health complications. Nitrous controls anxiety and offers some pain control. The real control of pain and anxiety is informed consent and local anesthesia.

Question 5

car accident last night and now i feel foggy with mild nausea. i'm sch to get wisdom teeth pulled tomorrow with iv sedation, will that still be ok?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: Did you get examined by a physician yet? You may have injuries that are not outwardly apparent. I would suggest that you be seen by a physician and call your oral surgeon to explain your symptoms and situation. All the best...

Question 6

how much does it hurt after you get your wisdom teeth pulled?

Accepted Answer

Mild to extreme pain: Depending on the procedure performed postoperative pain can be mild to intense. It varies case to case. Managing the pain with certain type of analgesics can avoid intense pain. Important to follow your doctors postoperative instruction.

Question 7

when should you get wisdom teeth pulled out?

Accepted Answer

Ideally: Most surgeons prefer to remove wisdom teeth before the roots are fully developed, which typically is during the teenage years.  If you are having a problem with any wisdom tooth that is deemed non-restorable, non-functional, causing or contributing to a problem, it should be removed asap, provided there are not contraindications for you to undergo the surgical procedure.

Question 8

could everybody get their wisdom teeth pulled?

Accepted Answer

No: No. The primary reasone are if they are causing pain, if there isn't enough room and they may cause crowding of the other teeth, if they are erupted and have cavities, or your othrodonitist needs room to move your crooked teeth.

Question 9

how can  it feel to get your wisdom teeth pulled?

Accepted Answer

Expect some: Discomfort.  It is a surgical procedure.  It's more comfortable to be put to sleep for the extractions.  That way when you wake up its all done.  Hope this helps.

Question 10

could it hurt to get your wisdom teeth pulled out?

Accepted Answer

Not during.: When performed by an experienced dentist, the discomfort and post operative pain will be minimal, even with difficult wisdom teeth extractions. Your best bet is to see an oral surgeon, but there are many general dentists who are more than capable of performing wisdom teeth extractions.
