damn dude, I feel for ya! I had both sides pulled, on different occasions. First ones, the dentist didn't use enough freezing, no gas at all, and he basically had to crack and drill the teeth out of my jaw. One of the worst experiences of my life. The other side I got pulled by my regular dentist who is good, he made sure it was totally frozen and he proceeded to pull them without too much discomfort at all.
I don't mean to scare you with my first experience, just to warn you to make sure you have a good dentist doing it and that it is properly frozen. It think the first time I had like one needle, the second time it was 3 or 4. And if they have gas, go for that too! Good Luck!
damn gnapp... that sucks... mine weren't anywhere near that bad when i got them pulled... a little sore, but on the bright side they gave me some kick-ass painkillers for afterwards
If it's not too late, go for the gas. When I had mine done, all I remember is sitting in the chair getting ready to be put under then waking up not even knowing it was already done. When I was in the Marine Corps, one of my buddies when to the dentist (a Naval Officer) for his wisdom teeth. The dentist numbed him up, pulled two teeth then went to lunch.He left my buddy sitting there for almost an hour then pulled the other two. I was scheduled to see this hack the next week and canceled when he told me his experience. Good Luck.
Oh ya, Im going gas and full iv sedation for mine. My first two, the top two, I was on a drug called houseon(sp?) which for all intents and purposes makes you stoned for 8 hours. Completly shutdowns your concious thought ability. Someone could tell you to strip in the center of a packed shopping mall and youd do it without questing it at all. Then of course novicane and what not. The way the stuff is suppose to work, is after its all said and done, you gone home, and go to sleep, and when you wake up it's supposed to have wiped your short term memory. Which for the most part it did. I only remember about 15 minutes of the acutal proceedure itself. The drive to and from the dentist, sitting in the chair, and going to bed I don't remember at all. The things I did remember was the cracking sounds, the novicane going down my throat and almost gagging me, and the dentist telling me I'd never like Shania Twain again, which is what I was listening to on a pair of headphones. I told my dentist that I remembered that, and he said that he wasn't going to allow me to go that route again, and that this time I'd be under full iv sedation. I have a very very very strong phobia of dentists due to an incident when I was younger, like 4 or 5 younger, which scared me for life. I can't even get near a dentists office now without getting a seriously bad case of the shakes. I can do it out of pure will power, but not without shaking. It's fairly bad..... Anyway. Wish me luck that they don't have to break my jaw, which a friend of mine had to go through, I don't want to experience having my jaw wired shut..... That concept and the concept of lockjaw scare the hell out of me.
Well its all done.. Damn that was weird being under iv sedation. Anyway, have fun folks.
was it like my iv sedation? i went in at like 9 in the morning, the doc told me to count back from 100... i think i got to about 94 and the walls melted in front of me
