Wisdom Teeth

[Danderson]

On Monday morning I'm geting my wisdom teeth pulled....Right now I'm not too scared, but anything could happen....I guess what I'm askin for is prayer for the dentists/docs/surgeons/whoevers-operating-ppl will do the right things, and that I'll recover smoothly.....Thnx....

Will do friend. Don't worry, everything will go well.
I had mine out a year ago and felt nothing...I was on a major drug trip and didn't even realize what was going on. Then I went home and slept for a day.
Just follow the surgeon's directions closely and you'll be fine.

Oh wow, it seems alot of people are getting their wisdom teeth taken out. I got mine taken out in last June. Its not that bad, they give you a little shot, put an IV in, you wake up in a daze, you have a lot of gauze(Because of the blood, you should have your parents change the gauze every few hours. Don't worry after 2 days you shouldn't have to even keep the gauze in. 3 is like maximum, but I could be wrong.) in your mouth, you rest for three days(Well it can be just one day, but Im sure you might take naps the other days as well.), you eat soft foods(I recommend soups, jello, pudding, ice cream, chessy mashed potatoes, etc.) you have plastic stitches in your mouth for like a week or two, and then you heal. Thats all there is to it. I didn't want/mean to scare you by this, I was just stating what the whole thing is about. And when I said scare, I didn't mean that its somthing to worry about, I just wasn't sure what your degree of frightness is. If anything, this is just an annoying time. So I suggest you rest, don't try to stay awake, just fall asleep for a couple of days. Don't worry, you'll make it.

I'll keep you in prayer. Though it really isn't a big deal. I had it done (all 4 at once >_>) and I think the wait is worse than the actual procedure.

Thnx for the prayers guys.....it all went very well....I was pretty much out for most of the day....I'm feeling ok right now, but still eating soft stuff....

Glad to hear you're doing well. Don't bend over, don't suck on things (like straws), and try blenderizing ramen noodles...it's delicious (just make sure they cool first before you put them in the blender or it'll explode all over the place. We learned that the hard way when I got mine out in 2005...^_^U).

When I had mine out, I ate a lot of mashed potatoes and pancakes...any soft food that you can eat without your teeth will work...

Glad it went well. Rest up.
