Wisdom Teeth are awful

Hello, everyone. I am so sorry I haven't been on for a while. School got in the way and now I've just gotten my wisdom teeth removed so I'm in SO MUCH PAIN.

Don't worry, I've got pain medication but I could barely move yesterday.

I hope to post the Guessing Games Q&A sometime later today and possibly a teaser for the sequel.

Until then,

I know how that feels. I had to have all four of my pre-molars taken out before I could have braces put in to straighten my teeth. It took two appointments taking out the teeth from one side each time. I'd never even had a filling before. Worst part had to be the unnecessarily massive needle the dentist used. 'You're not putting that in my mouth are you?' And even better, the teeth didn't plan to come quietly, to this day I remember having the assistant hold my head down, whilst the dentist heaved away at my teeth with a pair of pliers. After that it was simply a matter of dribbling blood for about three hours.

Still, at least I had sense to go private. The NHS dentist down my way is an Iraqi guy, known as 'The Butcher of Baghdad'.

How come you had your wisdom teeth out anyway?

Oh jeez. Wisdom teeth. I'm lucky in that I seem to have absolutely no resistance to pain medication in the least, probably because I rarely use it, and when I had mine removed I was simply out of it, but even then not for long. That said, though, it makes a lot more sense why you couldn't come to DnD. It's not just like a root canal or something, it's major dental surgery.

Also, if the pain medication really isn't working anywhere near as well as it should for you, maybe next time you're there ask what they gave you before and try to get a different one? Under optimal circumstances (pfffheehehe, optimal) you shouldn't be so wracked with pain you can't move. That sounds like that pain medication just flat doesn't work for you.

I had to have my wisdom teeth out because they were going to come in impacted and mess up my braces, both of which were unacceptable.

2759857 Yeah I might have to go with another medication. It works it just wears off too quickly and doesn't start quickly enough.

Thanks for the support, guys.

2759985 Similar problem to me then. I needed braces to straighten my teeth out, but my mouth wasn't large enough to accommodate all my adult teeth if they were straightened, so they were removed all four premolars before the braces were applied. Worth it in the end. When they took the braces off, the orthodontist showed me some before and after pics; my mouth was a goddamn mess.

Also pro-tip for when the braces come off - your teeth will feel really large in your mouth. And for the love of God, wear your retainers.
