extractions

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone,

Next Friday June 3 I am having four teeth pulled (2nd bicuspids on top,

1st bicuspids on bottom) by my oral surgeon. He says my teeth are

moving really well and hopefully this'll reduce the amount that my jaw

will have to be moved (both upper and lower). Has this made a

difference for any of you? I'm getting local anesthesia for it. Also,

any dietary recommendations for those first few days? I've never had

this many teeth pulled at once before.

Happy Memorial Day weekend.

Hello, Joanne - I had three wisdom teeth pulled a few years ago and was

given IV sedation for it because I didn't want to know what my dentist

was doing to me. It really wasn't bad; my mouth was a bit sore back

there, but my dentist gave me a prescription for Hydrocodone which was

great for the pain. As far as food & drink go, I drank chocolate

milkshakes and ate LOTS of ice cream the first few days, and then

started to eat soft foods like pasta salad for the rest of the week.

Don't worry - it'll go smoothly. Have a nice weekend! // Diane

I had two wisdom teeth removed four years ago and both were one the

one side of my mouth. The wisdom teeth were impacted and I got

stitches. I was given IV sedation when I had them pulled but I did

actually hear my teeth crack. I took hydrocodone for a few days and

then got off of it.

The extractions this time will affect both sides of my mouth. Thanks

for the advice. Looking forward to those milkshakes and ice cream;

that's what I figured on doing. Last time I started drinking the

milkshake before my mouth lost its numbness and got the milkshake all

down my front. Glad Mom was there LOL

Have a great weekend too!
