Gone Gone and Gone.
Well, I am officially three wisdom teeth-less. That fourth one better not show up EVER or I will be pissed. I mean, he said normally if they aren't visible by my age, they don't appear, but every once in while it'll come in when you're 30 or so. Mine better not be one of those!
It wasn't painful at all and I even opted out of the laughing gas (cheaper)! So yeah, just novicaine! The things I'll do to save money! Most people suggested to me that I go to an oral surgeon to get knocked out, but I am happy to report that I am one tough woman! YEAH. I mean, he shot so much novicaine in my mouth I couldn't feel anything on my face except my forehead.
I'm in a little pain now. My mouth just got non-numb enough for me to swallow some motrin, so hopefully that will help or keep any worse pain at bay. This isn't nearly as painful as my jaw has been for the past two weeks. I guess I had a pretty nasty infection stuck under one of my wisdom teeth. He wrote me a prescription for vicodin, but I'm not going to fill it. I mean, I don't know how much vicodin would cost, but I have motrin that is already paid for and well, THERE YOU GO.
Anyways, I got to take my teeth with me. I said I wanted to keep them. I know they won't stay "good" or whatever, but I want to take a picture of them. Yeah, kind of weird, I know, but I was kind of fascinated by them. I never realized teeth were so LONG. Like, how long they go down into your gums, you know?
So yeah, I survived. I feel fine. I understand the worst pain is day 2, so we shall see. And I pray that I don't get this dry socket thing. I'm scared, but apparently it's pretty rare so long as you don't smoke or use straws or spit and such, so we'll see!
I'm just glad it's over. OH, and the teeth were actually a lot easier to pull out than he thought they would be, so it was cheaper than I thought it would be by almost 200 dollars!! YEAH!!!!
