Yeah, we called the dentist and he recommended tea bags. They do seem to be working.

When you get teeth pulled, no that doesn't hurt much. When you have your gum cut open, then they use a drill to destroy the teeth into tiny little pieces, then they scrape out the remains... THAT HURTS.

When the pain medication isn't working right, that hurts too.

A buddy of mine is going to have surgery in the next few weeks on his teeth.

A few years ago he feel asleep at the wheel and had a major accident (over $500,000 in total hospital bills). The accident jammed his top front teeth up into his gums. They are just now going to repair that.

So they are going to go in and cut the gums and bring his teeth back down to where they used to be. It sound very painful.

Can we talk about other painful ailments?

I don't have Teeth trouble but I do occasionally get Iritis where my cornea gets stuck to the lense in my eye. Then when light hits it it tries to dilute but remeber it is stuck together. Extremely unpleasant, I would say on par to having teeth out. Goes for weeks at a time.

Tooth surgery falls under the same category as other orthopedic (joint) repairs - 1/3 do well, 1/3 have a different sort of pain 1/3 have worse pain when all is said and done.

I've only had 1 wisdom tooth removed. The only reason I got it yanked was due to a very nasty infection that had me in severe pain every day for about a year and a half. I've also had another tooth removed. It's not half bad to be honest. All they gave me was laughing gas and the numbing stuff. Never gave me any pain killers either :-( Though, with the 2nd tooth it really wasn't that bad, after you get the first one and a wisdom at that I think your pain tolerance goes up a few notches. Still have my other 3 coming in, here's to hoping I don't need them out.
