OT: Narf has no more wisdom...Teeth. Owie Owie
The worst part of tooth extractions where you get knocked out is not the actual surgery (You literally don't even notice that), but the rather nasty pain afterward. Two Tylonol 30's and still feeling it.
Time to find out how long I have to lie down for. And hey, at least I got a few naps out of this. *Brags about pain tolerance...Not really. Pain makes me fall asleep. My mind says 'I don't want to deal with this' and shuts down*

Agreed. But look on the bright side. You get the choice to have that fun knockout gas, that makes you laugh at anything!

Dentistry must differ in different countries. Last time I had a tooth out I only had a local anasthetic and it didn't really hurt afterwards. Granted the tooth in question had died (getting a chip in your tooth that reveals the nerve is not pleasant)

Another neat thing is that it makes you completely immune to pain. It took me 5 minutes to realize that the pinching on the side of my gum wasn't them poking around with their tools, it was them cutting open my gum and taking a drill to one of my teeth.

Re: OT: Narf has no more wisdom...Teeth. Owie Owie
yeah, you don't feel a thing. All I knew was he was tugging at the tooth with a clamp. You think he's trying to get a good grip and then he says he's pulled it out.

Re: OT: Narf has no more wisdom...Teeth. Owie Owie
About a year or two ago, I had three wisdom teeth taken out all at once...not a pleasant experience. They just gave me a local anesthetic, plus some pill that made everything...a little strange. Time was really compressed, it felt like 5 minutes but was more like 45.
After that, they didn't even send me home with narcotic painkillers, only the wussy Tylenol 3's, which didn't do a damn thing for the pain.
Kwok, push for them to give you the narcotics, would make the recovery a lot nicer!

Re: OT: Narf has no more wisdom...Teeth. Owie Owie
I had all four of my wisdom teeth taken out a few years ago. They knocked me out completely because they also had to take a 5th tooth out that came in in the wrong spot.
I was loopy for a few hours after the surgery. It felt really strange when they pulled the stuffing out of my mouth when I woke up. But overall it was a relatively pain free procedure.
They sent me home with powerful painkillers, but I forget what they were called.
The very next day I was cutting down trees and acting like normal.

When I had my wisdom teeth pulled I had put it off so long that the after surgery pain was actually less than the before surgery pain.

Re: OT: Narf has no more wisdom...Teeth. Owie Owie
Well, 32+ hours and my gums are still bleeding. Trust me, you don't want to hear more than that. I'm headed into the doctor.
My first wisdom tooth was pretty painless. But then, that dentist was so good I actually nearly fell asleep during the teeth-cleaning. Seriously, if I was even a little bit more relaxed that time, I would have been out like a light.
