The biggest thing I wish I took into consideration was the recovery. I spent all of my time being so nervous with the procedure, and the next week wishing I had made better plans like this. If you’re getting yours done soon, seriously do not be scared of the procedure, it will literally feel like 5 seconds.. plan about your recovery!

Can relate to this. Sleeping and eating are by far THE HARDEST STRUGGLES (so far, I’m only 72 hours into recovery). I cannot WAIT to just be able to eat a hot dog or cheese burger or some kind of meat 😭

Yay so helpful, thank you for typing my tips out for people ❤

[@PrincessShabz1]

My experience so far - hope this helps anyone getting their wisdom out Day 1- just before the torture-Eat a big meal before surgery as if your on death row. Mine was extracted by local aesthetic. Lots of tugging and a grown man ripping my cheek apart! (Literally) took around 30mins to extract 1 tooth. No pain during surgery- just VERY uncomfortable and felt a ton of pressure. Kids, if you never taken drugs well now is your time to shine! I took pain killers an hour after surgery as pre caution and took pain killers every 4 hours. The bleeding didn’t stop for 6 hours after surgery so went back to the dentist, they checked it and said it’s nothing to worry about. REMEMBER to use a WET gauze for 30mins & then leave the gauze out and see if it clots on its own. Worked a treat for me On tonight’s delicious menu: soup cooled down, water, yogurt. - force yourself to shove some baby like food down! Later that evening I had sore throat and face started to swell like a balloon. Used ice on cheeks. The bleeding went down during the night on its own. No beauty sleep, I slept upright, which was very uncomfortable. Buy a travel neck pillow! Day 2- Prepare to look like Quagmire or as if you had botched jaw filler! Sore throat but no pain. Got a fever, used wet cold towel on my head throughout the day. Nasty blood taste in mouth but no active bleeding.. Fine wine and dine: porridge, rice pudding, ice cream, soup and sipped on lots of water throughout the day. Been taking pain killers every 6 hours through out the day. I managed to brush some of my pearly whites very carefully, Avoiding the site of extraction . (This made me feel better) Beauty sleep was better than the night before but still uncomfortable & kept waking up. Slight pain 4/10 at night. Day 3 - Wednesday - still rocking the botched jaw filler look. throat is very sore, voice is gone, blocked nose, headache. Think I got a cold. Fever has gone down. Nasty taste in mouth. Done salt and water rinse (check on KZbin how to). Meal of choice: soft foods, drank the whole ocean, cold matcha tea. VERY IMPORTANT-salt rinse after each meal- and after brushing Only taken 2 pain killers. Pain level is like when you bite into your cheek. Day 4- woohoo, survived the worst-treat yourself to a lush spa in your shower and wash those greasy locks! blotched jaw filler still intact. Still got a cold and slight cough. I Used Vicks in hot water and breathed in the steam to clear the mucus. Slept like a baby- but now got bad neck pains (due to sleeping upright) On tonight’s menu: Wonderful soup, mash, lots of water, and tub of ice cream! Now in rehab & taken no pain killers. Still brushing my teeth like a 1 year old. Challenged myself and even tried a bit of flossing, jaw hurts so can’t open mouth that wide For day 9 onwards (or when you start eating solid foods) - buy a irrigatoring syringe (eBay, Amazon) you will need to use this for the next month onwards to clean and flush out food particles that get stuck in your wisdom hole

[@rpg5017]

This is fabulous

[@MegaErmia]

Very similar to yours ,my extraction done by 2 guys ,this is day 3 for me the sore throat and ear pain I got is very unusual. The sore throat feels like someone punched me over and over in the throat. Even swallowing is like hell now. Can't really open my mouth hence I'm just drinking, I just wonder when this awful sore throat is going away 🙃

[@PrincessShabz1]

im so glad im not the only one that looks like quagmire and botched botox. the only thing is my cheeks arent just swollen theyre hella bruised 😔

@@user-yu9pg1kk3j I forgot to mention the bruising! It was awful. the bottom part of my cheeks near the jaw was quite bruised from all that pushing and pulling! After a week and a half the bruising turned yellow (means it’s healing) & then faded away :) Hope you have a speedy recovery x

[@heeneydoingthings]

I just went through my wisdom teeth removal this past October (last month) and it didn't even cross my mind to come back here and relay my experience (because it honestly wasn't half as bad as I was expecting). My top two were pointed diagonally backwards, and my bottoms were growing in horizontally toward the front. They were erupted, but I was still considered "high risk" for nerve damage given how much they had grown in. My oral surgeon was fantastic, and I had all four out in about 30 minutes. If you have the option to be knocked out, go for it. Its so calming, and you wake up as if nothing happened. The gauze comes out usually in the first 6 hours, as long as bleeding has subsided (which it usually does without concern). The only tough part about recovery is ensuring you eat the proper foods to not get stuck in the holes lol. If you follow the steps given to you by your oral surgeon, you'll be back to business as usual in a week. As far as pain is concerned, see if your doctor can prescribe you a strong anti-inflammatory to be taken 30 minutes before your procedure. Additionally, the meds they give you after are decent. Pain-wise you wont be in any sort of life-altering discomfort. You'll have a little jaw tenderness, and should have minimal swelling if you follow the anti-inflammatory schedule. TL;DR - It's gonna be fine. Honestly, get it over with and you'll wonder what all the fuss was about. I put it off for 15 years then finally got it done. Once theyre out, you dont need to go through it again.

I finally got 4 of my wisdom teeth removed and opted for the anesthesia. I just kick myself because I found out the person I was SUPPOSED to trust to drive me home and be there for the surgery stole money off of my debit card while I was under getting surgery! I am hurt emotionally over this incident and physically because well getting ur wisdom teeth removed is painful. I am happy I got to see what a NORMAL recovery is supposed to be for this. I spent the day stressing going to the bank and police department to fill out reports. I had to live through your experience just to feel a little bit better and not cry 🥺. Thank you.

Found your video on my 7th day after extraction. I've had 2 teeth extracted on 18/09/23. My lower left impacted wisdom tooth (3rd molar) has affecfed the front tooth (2nd molar). Local anaesthesia injected 3 or 4 times. The process took around 1 hour and a half. I'm glad that I didn't get a swollen face afterwards despite the fact 2 tooth extracted within short time apart. Just that the thread used makes me gag and gum feel unbearably tingling. Ice pack helps a lot to ease the pain. Only eat soft bun with less to no topping or filling, plain soup (filter any seeds or pieces), porridge, mashed potato and smoothies. Was given Ibuprofen and Paracetamol. I can't wait to get the stiches remove soon.

[@Soccerplayingenby]

This was a really helpful video for me, I watched it right before I got 3 of my wisdom teeth out and post operation I've been referring back to it a lot! I hope that she makes an update video on how the rest of her healing went and how that nerve damage is coming along :) fortunately I didn't get any nerve damage, in fact my surgeon left my 4th tooth where it was because he wanted to avoid that (the tooth is also not erupted so it's not causing as much of an issue as the other ones were). I had been fearful of this operation since I was a teen and found out I'd need to get it done someday, and put it off until I was 26. However, I think it was perfect timing and after getting through the stress of getting it done the procedure was quick and easy and the anesthesia had me wake up in a happy mood rather than being traumatized!!! My past self would be so relieved to know I am doing great :)

[@mayaleex3]

Awwww I also delayed this for sooo long! It’s been 4 weeks now and I still have holes 😅 they’re closing, but food still gets stuck! I eat EVERYTHING though hehe. Chips are a bit hard still cause the crunchy bits really get stuck in there. I carry my syringe everywhere!

I had my bottom ones taken out in 2014 with only local anesthesia they were impacted and infected they hurt like hell. Lots of swelling. Had the remaining two taken out recently while on local anesthesia definitely not as bad this time around because both were erupted. I could eat right after getting them extracted. Opt out on sedation because it's expensive and the last time I got it for a different surgery it took me way too long to recover from so I was like nope lol.

​@@joaquinarchivaldoguzmanloe1073I am getting plasma platelets. Dr said it will aid in recovery and I will heal faster. And it said online that those plasma don't get dry socket. Because dry socket happens when the blood clot displaces frol.the socket and exposed the bone. I heard it's quite. P.S plasma platelets is a technology where they draw you blood and separate plasma from it and then use it in the socket after the extraction. It costs extra but let's see if it's worth it.

Thanks for sharing your experience with us. I really liked your video. I need to have mine removed soon. Did your nerve damage resolve? If so how long did it take?

I’m really not brave enough to get them all out at once😂the first one I got pulled out like 1 year and half ago, this second one I’m scheduled for this week! Got to do it eventually’🙏plz pray for me as I’m still nervous

[@LeighAJ97]

I just got my wisdom teeth out today 😭 do you semi- rinse after every meal? I'm so scared of getting dry socket

[@p.7489]

I have two wisdom teeth and a broken tooth I need removed out all on the bottom. I had a cavity took out like 4 years ago because one of the wisdom teeth was pressing against the cavity and it hurt like hell. But I totally forgot about this process of getting teeth removed 😔 so I’m going to have to go through this all over again 3x’s as painful 😖. Dental pain is a pain I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy.

[@RebaMcImTired]

My dentist told me today that I have to get all of mine out eventually, so here I am.

[@Theasiannoodle666]

Watching before I get mine pulled

[@amaramorowa5708]

I just had all 4 of mine removed a few days ago. I went under anesthesia, and took pain medicine as soon as I got home before the medicine wore off. I have yet to feel any pain.

[@mesquitegirl2013]

Just got mine out yesterday so far everything’s been good but I think it also helped that they were just able to yank. They didn’t have to cut into the gum or anything like that

[@sagitterroist1287]

I have 1 that has suddenly started hurting in my mid 30s🙄😒soo afraid to have it removed let alone all of them 😱🫣 I cry when i get my teeth cleaned!!!

I got my wisdom teeth removed in January and I ended up getting an infection it was so painful. ☹️ I really hope nothing like that happens to you!😆

What were your symptoms? How did you know you had an infection?

[@crossfitjohnathan9032]

@@jyn88 because they had to drain the infection at the dentist office and I went to the hospital and got put on antibiotics. But what made me know I had the infection was my throat and tongue swelled up to the point where my tongue was pressed up against the roof of my mouth.

Hope you feel better Maya, dreading getting my wisdom teeth out next week. Was it fast to fall asleep at the dentist im terrified of that part?

[@Melly241000]

Yes typically anesthesia works within seconds :) it feels very fast you literally feel like you blinked and you're done lol it will be ok

[@mayaleex3]

Yesss it was sooo fast and I didn’t feel a thing!! It was great 😅 the recovery is the hard part hehe but temporary

[@ninjasteph9561]

I had mine out a few months ago and was terrified of that part. They had me count down from 10 and I don’t even remember counting. Next moment I was awake. The anesthesia they used for my wisdom teeth I was pretty alert (not not in a bad way-just more coherent than I expected). It went really well and wasn’t scary! I had another procedure when they used a different anesthesia and that one I woke up pretty loopy from, lol, so it depends on which they use, but neither time I remember going to sleep so that’s the easy part. Best of luck next week! I pray it goes smoothly!

[@ricebowl44]

Just got all 4 taken out. The bottom two were impacted and did want to leave my mouth lol. I'm on my first day post op and so far have no pain and minimal swelling. That could be because of the meds I'm taking but so far things are going smooth. I'm just hoping I don't get a dry socket 🫠

[@chanieee9566]

any updates? how are you feeling buddy?

[@ricebowl44]

@chanieee day 2 post op still no pain barely any swelling. I only took pain meds the day of my surgery and I haven't taken them since. I've only been taking my antibiotics and anti-inflammatory meds. Switched to a heat compress to help with healing and swelling. Overall I'm doing good I'm just being extra careful not to give myself a dry socket.

[@Ote_03]

What’s a dry socket and how do you get one?

[@ricebowl44]

@Otey Bascially it's when the blood clot forming in the wisdom tooth extraction site comes out. As far as i know it usally happens because of smoking, using a straw post op, or just disturbing the wound in general. Apparently it's painful which is why I'm doing my best not to get one.

[@Ote_03]

@@ricebowl44 ah I see. Did you use IV and were your teeth impacted?

[@fionafifi7029]

I had my two left wisdom teeth removed and now its been about 8 hours. 😢😔Its not that bad but i just wish i ate before i got them out. All of a sudden i want to eat and i still have gauze in because its still kinda bleeding a little. My dentist only gave me like 6 or 7 numbing shots on the side of the extractions. i wanted to get some food ideas to eat while im suffering here and i found this vlog. Thanks for sharing

[@Jhene_Simone]

I had mine yesterday (it’s way worse at my age, mid 30s) and thought I would be given iv sedation but they insisted on nitrous oxide. I was honestly crying and freaking out at having to be kept awake for it. I remember the whole thing and it will probs haunt me for the rest of my life (the tugging and the pressure was insane!) but now I’m focused on healing. Sigh.

I can honestly say the procedure itself wasn’t nothing but the recovery is what got me. I just got all 3 of mines taken out on 10/23/23 and I’m still in pain I had to take off of work for one week and considering taking off another week. Just to make sure I’m good.
