Hello All!!!

yeah but you get lots of painkillers!!!! mine are severly impacted and im avoiding getting them out, my dentist tells me we will wait until they hurt, i really hope they never hurt!!

mine are impacted too, they told me that the longer I go with them like that the weaker my jaw gets.... or something like that. I'll probly do it sometime in the next few months

Modern dentistry isn't a big deal. I had a root canal back in December, and it was totally painless.

majority of ppl's wisdom teeth are "impacted"
they can't weaken your jaw....but imo...as a general rule, due to the pressure, they may cause crowding and as we age our teeth tend shift....so why not get them out sooner than later.
and yes....most dentists are not barbaric and the procedure should be a breeze!

the actual procedure should be a breeze for you....are you getting any kind of sedation? lots of DDS's use conscious sedation.....but regardless, as long as ur good and numb no big deal(if they have to be cut in pieces or not).....the first 2 days post op are the worst..after that you will be fine! good luck!

I don't know if I m going to get knocked out completely for it.. last time around I had a shot and it was completely numb. The only way i knew they were doing something to me was when they were sawing and it was rattling my skull. I hope a weekend is enough to recover... if not then I will have to work from home for a couple of days.

dont sweat it. statistically I think they only break your jaw 33% of the time
