- Did my full mouth extractions hurt? NOPE. The shots hurt. The swelling was uncomfortable. But for me, my full mouth extractions hurt no worse than a single tooth extraction.

Thanks for watching!
I was completely awake threw the whole procedure. Just had all my top pulled out last week. I am a baby when it comes to pain. Look at me? Im a stick, I can't take much... So believe me when I say, if you have a dentist that knows what he is doing, it will not hurt one bit. I have only used ibprofin as a pain med as well. Believe me folks, its so worth it. Right now I have no teeth, waiting for the healing period, but I can say I feel sooooooo much better because I no longer have any rotten or broken teeth.
I went in yesterday for a full extraction, top and bottom. I was given a pill to take 1 hour before for nausea and Triazolam for anxiety 30 minutes before the procedure. It didn't do anything for me. I requested the 2nd pill which I was given 30 minutes after the first. Still nothing..I didn't even get groggy. They put numbing ointment on my gums prior to the shots, which helped a little bit and I recommend. My back molars came out fine but I had to be numbed again and again as they moved towards my front teeth. I think the pain from the shots was due from infection in my front tooth. I stopped the procedure after the last top tooth was out..and will go back to do the bottom next week. I withstood what I could take..my advice is, if you feel it, let them know and if its too much, stop it. I am pretty tough and have had shots in my mouth many times but my mind and body needed a break.
I have not experienced any pain from the extractions at all but I am following the after care to a T.
As said before everyone is different but dont be ashamed or afraid to say it hurts!! If you are not IV sedated, you are allowed to let them know your pain/discomfort levels..
That's reassuring...I'm a 40 yr old pudding when it comes to pain.
@@Davethresholdhey brother I'm getting 19 out tomorrow I'm scared to death. How did it go for you?
Just had top and bottom teeth removed
Just had full mouth extraction two days ago. It was one of most painful things I have ever felt. I had teeth pulled due to severe bruxism. During COVID I had ground my teeth to the gum line in several areas. I have problems with Novocaine not being as effective on the left side of my face. I had so many shots of Novocaine, in some extremely painful area. Then had to get shots of anesthesia directly into a few spots. Several times getting a tooth partially removed and then having to stop because of pain. It was awful. The staff were incredibly kind and really supportive during the painful parts. It took 24 hours for my mouth to stop bleeding and now my face is swolled and heavily bruised. It has been a tough ride. So it can be painful process, but it is what has to be done.
Just had 20 teeth pulled and left the office with dentures. Fit is pretty rough and am in pain. Your videos are giving me hope. Without seeing some of your videos I'd be feeling pretty defeated and unhappy right now. Thank you.
I'm about 3 weeks behind you, my bottoms are really loose and tops aren't the best fit either. I'm hopeful but I'm getting really frustrated !!
Just had 23 pulled 12 hrs ago and can't even put my temp dentures in at all... lots of butterscotch pudding for me so far... It's not fun for sure
@@WKRP187 I feel for you but I swear it gets better, yesterday was the first day I was able to eat toasted cheese for lunch and spaghetti for dinner... the first solid food in 3 weeks!!
The first couple weeks is rough with that hard plastic on tender gums sucks for sure. Once you get your first reline they'll fit way better.
@@natedawg9890hello. I have a question. Im about to have all my teeth, 25 to be exact taken out 1 day process getting put under. Should I get the immediate denture or just go without and let the healing process take place and then be fitted? Also do I have to pay for 4 plates total when buying my dentures? A little nervous but more excited for my overall health.
@@cristaltucker9301 I can only speak from my experience. I went to aspen dental for my dentures and went to the hospital to have the oral surgeon do my extractions. At aspen you'll get immediate dentures the around 6 months you'll get your permanent ones ,they charged me close to $4500. So I guess it's about $1000. For each plate.. I wish you the best !!
I was attacked on NYC Subway in the 80’s…I remember broken jaw,teeth, skull, clavicle etc….gruesome situation. Doctors at NYU Langhone put me back together….additional surgeons made me normal..
Until this past year. My jawbone is breaking down, teeth falling out. Hearing issues, neck and head pain I never had before….
I have watched many of your videos. This one freaked me out. Those memories of being wrapped in ice and yards of gauze to keep me together. Tons of surgeries and pain. Scars on the outside and inside my skull/face.
OH NO 🙈 this triggered me to cry 😭 hysterically. I have to go through this again?
I don’t have a choice. I’m refusing dentures. I’m going for the 4/6 implants.
Next week I have another appointment. The fear is real.
Thank you 🙏🏽 for sharing. I thought I was the only one to suffer.
How did it go?
I hate to go on a tangent but could you have a deficiency in vitamin C? Because one of the symptoms of scurvy (lack of vitamin c) is scars dissolving, old wounds reopening etc. Sounds like what you're going through.
Oh bless you… ❤ so sorry for the suffering you have had to take.. 😢 sending love xx
I am at the fixed temps implant stage.. all on 6 top, 4 bottom.. the top was painless but the procedure bloody horrific.. I hate dentists.. hate them.. thebottom was easy as i was asleep but the pain after horrible.. that said now i am given a new life!! 15 yrs of toothless and just a top denture, i looked terrible but now i have full fixed teeth and go back in 4 months for the permanent teeth. If i can do it, believe me you can.. i even had to be put asleep for a simple procedure as im so scared.. its so worth it.. xxx
I’m exstatic to get my dentures finally.. I’m 49 & suffered for years now and am glad to finally be getting them & getting rid of these teeth I have left . That have caused me so much pain… good luck just curious why don’t you want dentures. I mean if you have the means to get implants go for it..
Many hugs around you 💕🕊
I had the top taken off in one day. Was given a pill that made me light sleep, but able to answer questions. My shots were given after that medication never felt the shots. After I found that all my teeth were sawed off. Never felt or remembered a thing. I brought a blanket with me, good idea. Never felt the four implants, and came home with teeth. Felt great, not stitches. Still trying to decide what to do as I am not comfortable with the permanent uppers. My lowers have implants, but they are removable, and easy to clean with an ultrasonic cleaner. Good luck to everyone going down this path.
im planning on getting my teeth done soon and im curious which set you prefer after these last 2 years since writing this? have you had any issues with either set?
I’m going in to my dentist tomorrow for a full mouth extraction… ain’t gonna lie, I’m scared… mostly cause I’m afraid I’m going to wake up during the procedure and also I really have no pain now, it’s just that all of my roots are detaching themselves from the bone, love your videos, they are so encouraging! ❤️
bless your heart. in the long run if that was necessary you'll feel better. the whole deal is getting use to it, took me a year. the hardest part is the ego deal and making sure you work with your dentist on how want to look recreating your natural smile. so bottom line any where from 6 months to a yr. stay on top of how you want those things feel, look and fit don't be afraid to speak up on what you want and why.
take for example my first ones where way too protruding hell I looked like somebody else. remember how you looked and hold em to it. what you'll get is somebody else's idea of what your mouth or what your smile should look like, few go by what it was so in your deallings start tweaking back to the way it was. things like making sure your new teeth go high enough, the amount of product they use doesn't make you look like you were punched in the mouth a week ago, when you open and close your mouth it doesn't pull the uppers down (smooth lip action i.e.) remember it really is a work in progress.
I just had mine done a week ago i was scared the twilight sedation was a god send i woke up once and passed right back out i felt absolutely no pain. The worst part of me is the liquid diet
im going in soon too! im paying extra to be knocked out for it all!
Same for meeeee. How'd it go?
I’m getting all my teeth removed next week. I chose the option to be put to sleep because my anxiety is horrible. Thank you for all the useful information. I can honestly say you’re making me less nervous
Same, and i’m scared to get put to sleep
My appointment is Thursday.. I'm completely FREAKING out, I Absolutely have to be sedated.
My wife has to get hers done tomorrow I'm more scared than she is about it and I need all mine done too it sucks
just had 22 extractions done 2 days ago :( hope everyone had a speedy recovery
@@saw1499how long did it take to pull them all and were any of them broke off at the gum? Thank you for sharing
I just had a full mouth extraction 4 days ago so the memory is fresh. (26 teeth)
I was prescribed Valium 5mg and told to take 2 an hour before my appointment.
I must say, they didn’t do much, probably could have taken another.
First thing they do is take your blood pressure. Your bottom number must be under 100 or they can’t proceed. Mine was 104 even with taking the Valium. So they waited 10 minutes and took it again which was then 94 so they were able to proceed.
Dentist swabbed my upper mouth with numbing gel, waited a few mins then began to give the shots. He explained he’d done 100’s of these so no worries! Lol
He also told me he was going to wait till after my uppers were pulled before he numbs my lowers. I thought that was nice!
I felt every shot but just a prick, no pain, and I didn’t ever at any point ask him to stop. I laid completely still and allowed him to work.
He stared with my right side back molars and worked his way around. I could hear him drop each tooth onto the metal tray. I thought I’d been counting each but then he said we’re done with the top!
I said THATS CRAZY!
They laughed. I had only counted about 6 teeth I’d thought he pulled when he said “your tops are done now going to numb your bottom.”
I didn’t feel him take out most of my uppers. I HEARD a cracking sound when he apparently was twisting the tooth to loosen. That’s it.
No biggie!!
Same with the bottoms however I did feel some slight discomfort when he began pulling the bottoms because he didn’t wait for the shots to take full effect, he just started pulling. It still was no biggie.
The entire procedure took 1 hr 15 min and that included the wait time for my blood pressure to come down.
What I did feel after the first shots to my upper was my heart throbbing. I could literally feel it in my throat.
So when they returned after letting the shots take affect for about 8 mins I told them about it. They said that’s normal for the Novocain to do that, so they proceed to pull my teeth.
This having all my teeth pulled was my greatest stress prior.
I thought I can deal with all the after effects of having no teeth and immediate dentures, I just need to get through this day.
I did with EASE!
My mouth was numb for about 3-4 hrs after leaving the office but I was prescribed Ibuprofen 600 and took it every 6 hrs for 3 1/2 days, then didn’t need it anymore.
That’s MY story.
You’ll all be fine!
No worries!
You can do this!!
I hope so am about to do this procedure 😂
God bless u ....tomorrow m going for mine .... 😟
@@jdmsupporter3235 great stuff 😁 are you getting all on 4
Oh my gosh I am sitting here in fear because tomorrow is my appointment so obviously I came here to look for other stories thank you so so much I feel a little better PS I’m getting a total of five extracted
@@heatherhedger2244 Only 5 ? Piece of cake girl! You got this! Be brave and just sit there, relax in that chair and trust that the person doing your extractions is highly qualified!
Go home a relax for the rest of the day! Drink lots of water and rejoice you no longer have to worry about those toxic teeth in your body.
Your new teeth look great and you are extremely pretty.
I got 22 teeth pulled. The doctor gave me some medicine in an IV and said I'm going to start feeling really relaxed. I said ok and that's all I remember. I woke up looking around trying to figure out if they pulled my teeth and they did lol. All I could eat on day 1 was a pint of ice cream. Each day is better. I'm on day 5 eating ravioli. Not much swelling. It hurts on the front of my lower jaw and I think that's where they did a bone graft. My mom wore dentures for years with no problems. I hope I'm like her.
I do everything possible not to have shots. I know they have to be done for extractions, but like you I have high anxiety about dental work period. I am waiting to get my extractions scheduled. I can't believe how much wait time there is for everything. It increases my anxiety. I appreciate your videos very much!
We anxiety people send our love and comfort. Just know others with our problem have successfully succeeded and did not die. Just like anxiety is uncomfortable we will not die. Remember it is a process design to protect us and not harm us. Anxiety and panic are in fact quite harmless. IF you will stop fighting it and allow it with a curious exploratory outlook you will discover that it will come and go A WHOLE LOT SOONER that usual and when this finally first happens to you there will be the most humongous Ah-Ha moment that triggers this amazing victory dance unlike anything you've ever experienced and the liberation will in fact encourage you in ways you actually dream about. Again, we love ya you awesome human!
I needed this 🙏
I'm 1 week into full extractions and immediate dentures. Your videos are a life saver for me 🙏 Thank you for all your helpful information.
3 months in, and I can eat Anything I want, and have never had to use polygrip. Alot of relearning how to eat, but I'm sooo glad I stood my ground with No glue. It's 100% possible everyone!!!!
I am one of the not so lucky ones that had a lot of pain! I was under general anesthesia for 7 1/2 hours. I had 24 extractions
, bone grafting, large hole in my sinus repaired, 10 implants and the lower arch placed. Unexpectedly I had to wear a denture on the top for 3 months. It was all extremely painful for me. The first 2 -3 days I had an extreme headache. I did take traditional pain medication that my surgeon prescribed. I am pretty sure it was Oxycodone. I got home on Tuesday night from surgery around 8 or 9pm. I stayed in bed on the following Wednesday and Thursday but was able to stay up on Friday. So really 2 full days out of commission after surgery but then it took me several more days to get back to “normal”. But you know what I would do it all over again in a heartbeat! It is so worth it ❤️
@jane joyce is it okay if I message you? your experience sounds very close to mine. I am really struggling waiting for my permanent teeth.
Got a full extraction 25 teeth pulled today at 8am its now 7pm at night got about 30 stitches but my mouth is still nu. I'm so scared can someone tell me so.ething good I'm scared that mouth is still num
@@TheAnarchyIsReal I hope you are doing okay. Now and are happy with your new smile.
Oh my God, you poor thing. This is exactly what I'm terrified of. I'm glad you think it was all worth it, but I'm petrified of the pain. Even for the consolation I left a body imprint of sweat in the dentist chair from anxiety and panic. I'm so worried! I just wish they'd put me under aesthetic for the entire thing.
I been seeing the same dentist for over 30+ years and he’s my first cousin. Thank goodness 😅
Did he gave you discount?😂
1st time I've seen u. I'm a senior & just interested. I would NEVER know u have dentures. You are so pretty & have beautiful eyes, & your smile is awesome. Dental work is so scary & expensive. Thank u for all the info. 👍
Oh my God thank you for making a video. I’m going to get my last 7 teeth removed tomorrow. I’m not nervous. I’ve already went through it once before. I could never imagine getting all my teeth polled all at the same time. I must say you look beautiful.
I have to get 9 removed in a couple weeks and a couple crowns and I’m absolutely terrified
I had all my top teeth removed 2 days ago. 1 tooth was an absolute nightmare to remove and there was ALOT of pulling and pressure. I’m still very tired, teary and sore. Not pain as such and I know this is a journey but videos like this help me feel like I’m not alone in this xx
this is day 3 since full mouth extraction, im glad i found your channel you are answering a lot of my questions and worries, as a youtuber it is important for me to speak well .your videos are putting me at ease thank you so much
I underwent a procedure where all my teeth were extracted at once, and I was conscious throughout. The relief from the pain of having bad teeth was different from the post-extraction pain. The numerous injections for numbing were almost dreamlike. It took several shots to achieve complete numbness, and if I felt anything, they administered more. After the extractions and immediate denture placement, I managed to drive home, which was an hour away. However, once I got home, the pain was so intense that all I could do was lie down, sleep, and let the blood drain. The following day, the pain had subsided to a dull ache. I didn't take any pain medication. The discomfort was significant, and I had to endure it. However, the alternative would have been a mouth full of painful, bad teeth.
Ohhh, I appreciate your comment.. I'm on the few week countdown to my procedure.❤
Hi! Did you experience significant improvement in your health after this?
I just found you today and have been binge watching your videos all day. It's so awesome to see how much you've changed but you're still so freaking awesome. Thanks for all of the help you've given me just in the last 6 hours! ♥️
Welcome, Lindsey! Glad to help!
Had 32 pulled yesterday, (obviously?) including the wisdom teeth. Thanks for making this, definitely eased my mind a bit as far as what to really expect. Luckily, I was fortunate enough that they didn't need to be surgical, though it was close.
How old are you if I may ask
I did full arch (top & bottom done 70 days ago. It was easy peezy. Have my temps in now. Waiting on permanents 😁
Three weeks ago on the 24th of Feb I had 8 top teeth at the back removed with alveoloplasty (not counting wisdoms as all 4 were removed last year), leaving me with just the 6 in the front. I had no real pain, just some aching for a few days.
A week later on the 3rd of March I had 10 bottom teeth removed including lower canines this time, with alveoloplasty, leaving me with just the central 4 (that can be saved). Same as the top I just had some aching for a few days.
In 11 days time on the 28th of March I will have the remaining top 6 removed (so I will be left with no original top teeth) and a full upper immediate denture fitted; and at the same time I will have a partial lower immediate denture fitted.
I'm excited and also nervous. For the first time in my life I will be able to smile with teeth showing!
Awesome
I recently found your channel and need to take some time to dive in to where/how your journey began. I had full mouth extractions done October, 2021 and had 14 implant post installed and major bone reconstruction, all in the same day. Probably not my smartest move. The recovery was barbaric and the most painful experience of my life (that’s saying a lot; I’ve had 15 other surgeries, chemo and radiation!) I was completely unrecognizable for a week due to the severe swelling and bruising of my face, eyes and neck. My treatment team was top notch; I shudder to think what it would’ve been otherwise. I am still in the temporary phase and won’t receive my permanent prosthetics for a few more months. The pain, the feeling of closterphobia of having foreign things in my mouth I can’t take out myself is almost too much to bear sometimes. Eating food is hurrendous.. there is not cutting, grinding or chopping.. it’s more like an animal mashing their food leaving behind globs of unprocessed food stuck to my teeth and gums. I am frustrated and feel very defeated sometimes. Am I totally alone in this?
Hi, I just found your videos and I want to thank you for sharing the information. I’m 58, and I’m going in November to have my uppers pulled. I have 11 teeth left, most of which are broken. Since I was young, I’ve always had bad teeth so I’ve spent a lot of time in the chair! I told the oral surgeon I want to be out during the procedure, i want to just come in and get it done; I don’t want to be aware of anything they do 🤣
I also have an aortic aneurysm so I don’t want to put myself through that stress either…
It’s going to cost me a lot more to do it this way, but I really don’t think I can handle it under local.
Great video! You explain solutions for our fears with great empathy. Thank you!
Thank you for this video, I just got my upper teeth pulled and I agree that the shots hurt the most. Mine wore off at the end a bit and I started to feel the stitches being sown in. Thank you for all the helpful advice!
I got my upper today and I'm in a lot of pain.
Thank you, just got a full extraction 36 hours ago.... cant fit dentures due to swelling ..800 mg ib. And rest now.
Thank you , and your teeth look amazing as do you. Beautiful
I’m going to my dental surgery appt today.. full mouth extractions.. temp dentures.. I’ll be under full sedation, totally knocked out lol.. that’s my preference.. I’ve had bad experiences with dentists before.. anxiety is an issue.. I greatly appreciate you sharing your experience.. it means so much, you look amazing 😊.. It’s Def going to be a process.. ♥️
I myself was awake for every one of my teeth being extracted,soft teeth runs in my Family,bad thing about me afterwards is only the top dentures would work because my lower bone structure was very thin and I’ve been without bottom teeth for the past 9 years,it’s really bad sometimes trying to eat crunchy foods,cuts my gums,I can’t afford implants so I’m kinda in a bad situation right now,I’m retired/disabled and on a fixed income so it’s not easy,you look great girl,btw,my original teeth were so bad that infections were all over my mouth,it was bad,so I kinda half smile and half laugh with only top dentures,it’ll work out someday for a full smile
I'm really glad I found your content. I had 14 teeth extracted 5 days ago. I'm extremely dental phobic, they knew this. That actual procedure was fine, I was sedated. The aftercare however has been awful. I have been in excruciating pain for days. The dentist wasn't " comfortable " prescribing more pain meds. I also have TMJ disorder which flared up as a result of the procedure and I couldn't get anything to alleviate my pain. I have regretted this decision, but I know it will be bad before it gets better. But I am so miserable. My gums are so sore and I'm so sad. I'm hoping my recovery gets better.
I had 26 pulled at one time 10 days ago it dose get better I promise the hardest part for me was eating and what to eat right away I’m not fully healed but in a lot better shape it gets better day by day u will see less and less pain
Still regretting?
Warm salt water swish 5 times a day.
I’m 6 days post op from my top teeth pulled. I just got all on six surgery the worst for me is the stitches. The stitches are so itchy so so so itchy! It’s driving me insane! I’m so happy I found your channel it’s nice to have others with the some struggle. I’ve only been on Motrin for pain and it’s not pain pain it’s just achy like you described. The only “pain” is the itchy stitches.
Doing that also, did you still had some healthy tooths ?
I'm currently 25 and I've been without teeth for almost 4 years now.
I was diagnosed with aggressive periodontitis (I believe that's what its called - genetic, mother and grandmother both got it but much later in life than me) when I was 20. I had all my teeth extracted soon after. They caught it quickly, and I only experienced a bit of decay beforehand. However, I was told it was more than what it seemed. I had a few holes in my teeth that concerned me but didn't cause me pain (which is apparently even worse than experiencing pain; no pain meant my teeth were totally dead, which they found out after an x-ray).
It all happened within 6 months - I was in the process of getting basic fillings when it occurred. Right side first, then the left 6 months later. Within the 6 month wait, my teeth began to decay and I was told it would be best and more cost efficient to opt for dentures rather than trying to fix the teeth only to still ultimately have them decay. My mother tried to save hers for years and ended up getting them extracted, so I listened to my dentist - as much as I hated the news. It was one of the biggest shocks of my life.
I had my surgery shortly after that appointment, full extractions and no prior tooth loss. I wasn't prescribed medicine beforehand, already had anxiety medicine of my own. Like she said, the most painful part of the process was the shot. I was also put "to sleep" for my surgery (not really asleep, but I was given stuff that makes you not remember). However, I ended up "waking up" before the surgery was over. That was terrifying, but I didn't feel too much. It was just extremely uncomfortable.
Honestly, I'd say the worst part wasn't the surgery itself. It was after. The gauze and stitches in your mouth and looking in the mirror, feeling just awful, and being told that you can't cry and to calm down because it can worsen the bleeding and make it difficult to clot - very important to keep calm. I remained calm through everything minus the moment after I looked in that mirror after the surgery.
After everything, I was medicated. Tylenol 3 and Moltrin to be alternated ultimately, Vicodin for the first few days. They honestly barely helped after day 3 - that was the worst for me, when the swelling kicked in. I wish I would have saved the Vicodin, tbh. The swelling and massive soreness remained and didn't begin to settle until around day 5-7. It took another few months before I was able to eat without pain, too. I had to be very careful. But I did heal up (clotting wise, at least) fairly quickly.
I didn't get dentures right away, and I still don't have them today. They ended up not shaving off enough bone for my surgery, opted to keep as much as possible due to my young age, so I ultimately needed another. Dentures would have been too painful for me to wear, would cause sores all across my mouth from what my dentist told me. However, I lost my medical insurance (aged out of my dad's insurance policy with the military shortly after the surgery) and couldn't afford it on my own (would have been over 2k with being put to sleep).
It's been years, and the bottom part of my mouth has smoothed out enough on it's own now. Doesn't need surgery anymore. My top half still does, however (still just over 1k). I'd say the worst part of everything is healing up after, and should you not have teeth like me.. Feeling out of place and kinda like a freak of nature. I taught myself how to speak and how to eat certain foods over time, and people barely notice I don't have teeth. Many say I speak so normally they almost forget I dont have them. I get that double glance all the time when I go out by strangrs, which is uncomfortable, but alas. What can you do?
I'm doing my best, have been for years (I'm now a single mom on top of everything, too - had him about a year after my surgery, and he came first).
Wish me luck everyone. I hope I get teeth someday soon. 👌🏻
What a ride. Thank you for sharing your story!
@@kalinjax Thanks for reading. ♡
Try Humana dental insurance. Ask for their plan with no waiting period for your condition. And spirit dental doesn't have a waiting period they are affiliated with ameritas.
If you have enough time , try looking into working at ups , they have Humana insurance, and ups pays for your insurance nothing out of your paycheck, I just had all on 8 yesterday, 03/22/23 , 8 on top 8 on bottom, and didn’t even pay a penny for a 53k surgery
@@autumnjones9937 ups has Humana and ups pays for the insurance so we have free insurance, and we have unlimited yearly coverage, so when I got my surgery and the temporaries and all the steps for the implants. I looked at my insurance claim, over $120,000 of dental work and implants, have 17 in total, 8 on top and actually 9 on the bottom so 17 in total, and the insurance covered my surgery at 100% , because the dentist charged more than the initial cost that way it can cover the actual amount and I wouldn’t have to pay anything out of pocket since he knew no matter how much it cost … my insurance was going to cover it … I’m 24 years old and been having dental issues for the last 9 years of my life , having teeth seemed like a dream I’d never accomplish .. until that dentist told me to leave my old job and apply at ups 4 months later I left my bud driving job to work at ups, and just made my 1 year yesterday 6/20/23 , and already have a brand new mouth with perfect Hollywood white teeth lol
I just got all on 8 yesterday, 8 too 8 bottom, I’m 24 a still had a lot of my bone so they placed more implants for better results, put me to sleep at 11:17 am woke up at 7 pm , and same here I had a lot of teeth but I had a lot broke teeth at the roots, where the roots where still inside the bone but had nothing exposed. Came out great tho, just a little sore , my lips are still numb but best decision I made, and thank god for my insurance .. $53k surgery cost me not one penny! 9 years of having dental issues , 2 years of wishing I had all on 4 , and finally was able to get it done because my insurance covered at 100% , got treated like a king at the office bc not every insurance even covers dental work and if they do they cover very little of it. Thank you UPS ! Had to work at ups part time for 9 months to revive their insurance, and it’s one of the best in the country no one really knows. Had my full time during the day then part time at ups in the evening. It was a long 9 months running from across the city from my full time to part time but alllllll worth the wait
I need this done…with my remaining teeth, I get tired of smiling with my mouth closed because I’m ashamed to show my teeth when smiling. It’s all about the money right now
I do too but I'm scared
I'm literally starting my journey right now, so understand completely even the embarrassment of making the first step. Please know you're not alone 🫶
I had all of my extractions in one day, plus a bone graft plus the 11 titanium implants. I was put under by an anesthesiologist. When I tell you I had NO PAIN, I am not kidding. I had jaw discomfort, but that’s it. I bruised and was so swollen the next few days, but no pain.
wow the key in my understanding is how much bone you have to work with and the depths of implants that will work well, the whole deal being sinus cavity's and nerve placement.
@@moss8448 I had a very extensive consultation and X-rays. I saw 4 dentists in my area before deciding on an out of state office. My local dentists all offered implant services. And answered all of my questions. It was when I got to the question of how many of these they’ve done so far, and their answer was zero that I knew it was time to go somewhere else. So I chose an office that does it all in one day. Of course it took two days which was more than Acceptable. I had my surgery on Tuesday, my teeth on Wednesday, and I flew home Thursday. The best thing I have ever done!
@@beckymoran321 that is good news! in my case it is a 'work in progress' as I have to have work done as I can afford it and luckily my dentist is really working with me in that area. he is an older dentist and has seen all kinds of things. started out with four mini's frontally and am in the process of two rear regular type implants but very little room bone wise because of my sinus cavities.
How long were you swollen for? I'm 70 hours post 32 extraction and wisdom teeth and 12 implants placed. Still very swollen
@@nothaber8130 oh, I was bruised about 5 days and swollen really bad the first 3-4 days. After that, the swelling was gone completely at around 14 days post OP. Hope you heal quickly! Ice helps, and ibuprofen if you can take that.
After reading all of this im so greatfull i opted for intravenous sedation. Iv went in and full mouth extractions were surgically removed ftom broken molors and extreme decay. Went home with top and bottom immediate dentures. Slept once i got home. Went to my denturist the next day and hes been my best friend to this day. Best piece of advice communicate with your denturist and dont give up it does get easier
I’m about to go see the dentist to get all my teeth taken out and I’m super nervous 😥
Your teeth are beautiful! Im not going to lie...I just had an absessed tooth pulled and prepped for an implant. It was brutal. The shots sent me to the moon. After I was numb it was easy but I will say my dentist prescribed nothing for pain. I was told to switch on tylenol and ibuprofen. This has been the worst pain Ive ever had. Id rather give birth...the pain is over quicker. I have a very high tolerance for pain too. I pray I never have to do this again. Im not sure how you had all yours done with minimal pain but Im glad for you!
Mine were all pulled at once. All i was missing were my wisdom teeth. It wasn't too bad. But swelling is frustrating.
Thank you for making this video. I had full extractions 2 weeks ago and I'm still recovering. I had only local anesthesia. I also had complications too. I had a severe hemorrhage that were not able to control. My faced looked like I had been boxing for 12 rounds. Sphycological it's been hard on me. It's not easy to wear dentures and to learn how to eat with them. I have a severe case of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis since I was two years old and the amount of consumption of steroids (Prednisone) destroyed my teeth. I'm in the process of healing. I'm looking forward to have implants in the future. However, it's very expensive and to be honest I'm not sure what am I going to do to afford them. As far pain goes, it was very painful. I only took a combination of Tylenol and ibuprofen for my pain and that was my choice and did well with that.
Yes, I understand about the psychological aspect. I had 1 tooth pulled with severe purple bruising that lasted almost 3 weeks. Was not prepared for that as it was much worse than all 4 of my wisdom teeth being pulled. Good luck to you.
Thank you so much for sharing this because I go January 4th for my oral surgeon consultation to get all my teeth extracted. I'm 36 and I am 4 years sober so I can't take pain medication but I'll be ok. I am really scared but I have faith. I get serious anxiety so I'm nervous thank you for helping.
How bad was the pain after please sonscarednabout minen
I just had all my teeth pulled yesterday. The shots on the roof of my mount was the worst. Well besides the infected tooth.
I’m not scared of pain. I’m scared of my thoughts and mindset during the procedure. Thursday is my procedure and I’m freaking out
How are you now?
@@georgiaisom6347 I’m amazing!!! I love my new smile and all the pain is gone!
Hey! How did it go?
@@HalfwayJac went as well as crap insurance will pay for lol but now, thankful I did it
My situation was the same as yours, my dentist suggested surgery with general sedation with a oral surgeon. I’m glad that I took that road.
Hi, I just had full mouth extraction with immediate dentures. 4 days ago. Worst part was the shots otherwise the pulling of my teeth went quickly. Medicine I'm taking just alternating between Tylenol and Ibuprofen.
I just had my top done today and the dentist questioned was I sure I felt pain but not pressure. After he would shoot me again with numbing medication he would immediately start again without giving time to set in . I don't understand why he seemed bothered to keep numbing me. Had a horrible experience 😢 and to top it off he asked me to please stop crying so he could finish. Took 3 hrs. To remove 10 teeth and place 4 implants. Glad you had a better experience
My oral surgeon had a terrible attitude. I had 28 teeth removed last week and he didnt give me the option for anesthesia . He was running an hour and half behind schedule and I feel like I paid the price for that with his bad attitude. I had the first panic attack in my life due to all the epi in the numbing shots ! It was horrible. Im also on warfarin. So my bleeding was BAD! I switched to lovenox for a few days but had to go back the next day due to liver clots snd horrible bleeding. He jumped in and started jamming shots in me and started double stitching me. Then 4 days later I am bleeding like crazy again. Im not going back to him. He is s sadistic man ! My reg dentist is so gentle. But this surgeon is just mean ! I got 4 implants snd have 4 more to get done . I pain $1200 for temp dentures but i cant wear them yet due to the bleeding.
Thank you for this. I've been in the position where the dentist has tried telling ME that I'm completely numb, and gaslighting me into thinking I shouldn't feel anything, when I clearly can feel it. I've been absolutely terrified of my teeth since that day. I've got to have a full extraction in 2 weeks, and I'm losing sleep and my anxiety is horrific. I'm going to firmly make sure they know when I feel any type of pain.
Bro, I am one of those people. I feel everything. Hit me all you want with drugs. It will only do so much. Go to a dentist that will knock you out. Otherwise if you can't, prepare for hell. I'm not trying to scare you I'm hoping you can change your dentist. Had my dentures done a few months ago. I'm good now but it was medieval torture for me. Me and dentist were ready to fight. Don't listen to Dentists. They have their teeth what do they know? Listen to people that have been through it. I would warn my worst enemy if he was someone like us that felt everything.
I had two molars pulled. One was abscessed. They must have given me at least six injections of Novocain, but it might as well been water. I could feel everything, but the dentist forged ahead. She nearly pulled me out of the chair yanking while I was yelling. It was like having Doc Holliday pull my teeth in the 1860’s, but without the laudanum. The roots broke off of one. I’ve had open heart surgery, broken bones, half a thumb bit off breaking up a dog fight…on and on. I had NEVER had pain like I felt that day. I can’t take ibuprofen or any NSAIDs due to blood thinning medication, and no opioids prescribed. In two weeks I’m having all my top teeth extracted, again with novocaine only. I finally called my primary care doc and he prescribed 1.5mg of lorazepam, as if that will have much effect on a 180 pound man! I have no choice but to go ahead - I’m risking my life with dental issues. Thanks much for the encouraging video. I need some courage to go through with this after the horror show and trauma from my last experience.
@@garyolson2676How did it go?
I’m getting one side of my mouth pulled per week for the next month because of how my insurance is…. I’m scared cause I have severe dental anxiety and have no way to be relieved. Watching your video helps me learn what to expect… I’m gonna be awake 😢 I start this Friday.
Yes it hurts.. I had a root that went into my sinus cavity and had a heck of an infection to add insult to injury..
Been 5 days since my extractions. Had to get over 40 shots of novacaine (my body is weird and doesn't react as normal) and still felt certain parts of the extractions; but, overall, went well.
New teeth look great; but, had to take the top plate out about two hrs after extractions, once the novacaine wore off, because the back of the plate both goes too far into the back of my mouth and doesn't properly follow my ridge. Thankfully I don't tend to swell much at all and could easily get it in and out.
Got the back cut down enough where I could start wearing it without gagging. The messed up ridge line makes talking a bit more difficult (the back of my tongue dislodges the plate and I have to recreate suction) and can't really use the plate to chew because they misjudged the impressions while making them and it cuts into a boney prominence in my mouth with every bite; but, can deal with the pain enough to wear them so long as I don't talk much nor try to chew with them in.
I go in about 9 more days for actual adjustments and a reline.
Bottom fits amazingly, despite being ever so slightly loose (will be fixed during the reline). I wear it near constantly because I'm uncomfortable not doing so (have a lovely split in my gums where they had to vertically slice it to extract what remained of my lower, right canine).
Tired of soup and pudding. Have eaten ice cream a few times, but keeps getting stuck behind misaligned ridge and can't swallow it; so, have to wait for it to melt. Lol.
Did eat some vienna sausages with both plates; though, the top plate digging into the aforementioned boney prominence began to be bothersome enough that I won't be doing so again until after the adjustments and reline.
Gums never really hurt after extractions, just a few friction spots here and there. Didn't swell much at all, and what lil I did only lasted a few hrs. Overall, pleased to have taken the step, just ready to get the adjustments and reline. Would have done so already, but been busy with work.
I just had my full mouth extractions done this past monday. So I'm 3 days post op... The uppers feel ok. But omfg the bottom plate is killing me. The bottoms are way to big and I need them adjusted. But just waiting for the swelling to go down. The pain is gross. Ty for your videos, they have veen really helping me out getting threw this.
I can't believe you were able to do that! I go to an oral surgeon for just one tooth. Brave.
Had 13 teeth pulled,10 implants and a sinus lift on both sides.
Worst part was the injections after that had three hours in the chair then a heap load of stitches.
I thought I was in for a world of pain but honestly apart from tenderness and soreness it’s been quite painless.
Last night was uncomfortable with bleeding and not being able to swallow comfortably but on a scale of 1 to 10 it’s been around a 3.
Taking prescribed painkillers but only taking two a day and only as I was told to although they probably did play their part.
This was all yesterday and so far so good.
I was extremely lucky, my dentist prescribed pain meds before the full mouth extractions days before to be prepared. Day of extractions only given 1 Motrin right before, had IV sedation. Went home, had "0" Zero pain, never had to take pain meds. Yes, I had swelling and the yuckiness of having extractions. That was my biggest fear, that the pain would be heriendous, because 2 years earlier I had a molar taken out and the pain kicked my butt. But this whole month extraction with a whole lot of grafting, zero!!!
I am 35 years old man who just got implant two days ago, I have Substantial swelling, and it’s causing me anxiety! Thank you for sharing your story and experience it’s giving me a lot of hope and comfort!
Yeah, me too. Discomfort is the right word. Never had any pain per say, just low key sore and the unpleasant sensation of having these odd temp dentures in for a month and a half. You have to admit, this is a real journey and not for the faint of heart
Thanks to a syndrome I have called Axenfeld Rieger syndrome, I only have 15 teeth. But I have some awesome news, I just scheduled my dental implant consultation for a place in the town that I live. My consultation is Wednesday :-) nervous but incredibly excited to get the ball rolling
you will be fine
That’s amazing! You’re going to be just fine! Congratulations!
@@tiffanynfl thank you :-) well I had my consultation, unfortunately I have a very complicated medical history so the person had the consultation with said they’d have to research all of my health conditions, and the other person that they are referring me to will have to do the same. He said regular implants in the jawbone at least on my top jaw aren’t going to be possible because of the bone loss I’ve had did to the ARS causing a lot of my teeth not to actually come in. He said my lower jaw is fine, but my top jaw I would need to have a zygomatic implants, but luckily he works with a surgeon, I can’t remember what kind it was at this time but he said that he works with someone who does them in the not too far away city for me, so he’s referring me to him and whenever I’m able to go into the consult and do the surgery and everything they will both be working together on doing the implants and then the smile creating my teeth and things. I wasn’t able to get my score checked because we only discussed my history with my medical issues and then my job bone and his recommendation of going to the other person for the implant part of it
@@Preston-Lee my goodness! Good luck with everything sweetheart!
@@tiffanynfl thank you :-) I appreciate that. I actually just got a call from the other office wanting to do my consultation, but have to figure out transportation so I have to wait on scheduling
I got my top whole teeth extractions done today. I was given immediate dentures with them I’m feeling pain. I was given ibuprofen 800 but I’m bleeding like dripping blood.
When I had my all on 4 I did IV sedation. They also gave me oral steroids to take 2 days before the surgery to help with the swelling. All I remember from that day is going to the office and my wife walking me to the bedroom that night..... The only thing that hurt were the stitches.
I closely mirrored your routine. Numbed up well and extracted all uppers in one day. Went home biting gauze pad and taking 800 mg Ibuprofen. Came in 8:00 next morning for temporary uppers. Returning two weeks from now (like 4/5 weeks after upper extraction) to do the lowers. Ive had a few embarrassing encounters and a little soreness the first two weeks but the dentures initially felt huge in my mouth but feeling more normal each day. I want to speak more each day and rush me back to speaking without a lisp but with only having a dog to talk with it is taking me much longer. I anticipate feeling pretty normal in like maybe 6-8 weeks. Watch a lot of YT for help and hints. Experiment with how much adhesive to use and where to apply.
I have the operation next week for my upper jaw only and I am nervous but I know it is for the best and then a click denture in 8 months. thank you for sharing your experience, it helps many people like me who still have to go through it❤❤❤
I've had all but 2 molars removed. 3 wisdom teeth as well. So I am hopeful that when I get the rest taken out it won't be as awful as having lots of molars at the same time. Just 2 molars, canines and front.
were you put under anesthesia ? I still have 3 wisdom teeth and dont want to go under. Did you have problems with those wisdom extractions?
Thank you for all the info! This calmed my nerves with getting a full extraction.
Few days ago I had the rest of my teeth pulled, upper, because I will wear dentures. I had bad experience in the past when I had a tooth pulled. The dentist was unable to pull the whole tooth out because my root was twisted. She had to contact my husband to take me immediately to an oral surgeon. The oral surgeon put me under to finish pulling my tooth. That experience caused me to have an extreme anxiety when I had other teeth pulled or an implant. After I had my two front, upper, teeth and root pulled, I felt very relaxed and had no pain until the anesthesia wore off. Later I did develop pain and took one pain pill. I took 1000 mg Tylenol the rest of the time. Now my problem is getting use to the denture. My mouth is sore from the denture. My gums finally stopped bleeding. I had an adjustment to my denture and scheduled to have another one. My dentist said it will take a couple of adjustments while my swelling goes down. The RUclips episodes has been so helpful, especially how to take care of my denture.
My dentist lets a topical on a cotton swab soak on the area about 15 minutes prior. Then injects very slowly a little at a time. That’s how it should be. No meds for anxiety or pain though I used prayers and meditation. It was so gross they said to leave denture in until next days appointment. I had them out early in the morning. But the bleeding took 11 hours to stop and dentures were loose even with swelling. So it was just a mess
First of all your dentures look awesome. This time next week , August 3, 2023, , I am having my remaining 15 teeth extracted, and the denture journey begins. I opted for temps first. After viewing many of your great videos, I am feeling more and more confident I'll get through this ok. I'm not a bleeder. Recent extractions didn't bleed at all when I got home. And three weeks later the holes have healed great. I'll be taking two Triazolam pills one hour before going in. In the past, I only took one and never remember a thing. No pain..nothing! When I woke up and I was home in bed. 6 Extractions complete. Two pills should do the trick.
You did a great job explaining everything!! I had no pain
Just had 28 extracted a fews days ago. Going without pain meds (narcotics) just taking 500mg naproxen. Doing ok so far. 😅
Extractions were easy for me as I had sedation and it removed all pain. The worst time was the first week of recovery. Needed a week off work and proper painkillers for about a week. After that recover from the remaining discomfort was very quick. The only issue around pain came for me because I had an infection from the first procedure and the bottom implant didn't quite take and that was a painful appt. but I was very unlucky to have has either of these, so for most people it's not a particularly procedure. A large filling was far worse.
I had my upper teeth removed. My extraction experience was similar. My pain was also the shots. However in week three swelling is gone but the roof of my mouth is painfully sore. Going to see dentist Thursday. Your video is very comforting.
I justgot my full mouth top and bottom extractions done yesterday my hubby was with me moral support:) I'm in so much pain having it hard to speak properly again I was awake the whole time with laughing gas then went home and threw up all day
this is my exact situation and the surgery im having. but they are doing the extractions and then waiting until I heal for the "plasty" part to see how it actually looks after healing
about to have a full mouth of "surgical" extractions done I'm glad I found your videos thank you we appear to have the same issues
Since we’re all telling War stories. Just 1 month ago today I had 3 wisdom teeth , 22 teeth , 10 titanium screws. All in one sitting . Walked in at 8am , left at 8:30 pm. Left with ZERO, I’ll repeat…. Left with ZERO, Pain Meds…. First 2 weeks, a nightmare
omg… I feel for you. I had full mouth extraction, 14 crews installed and lots of bone removed.. but my surgeon was very good about pain management; it’s barbaric even with the pain meds. I sure hope you’re feeling much better now.. it was enough to make me almost completely lose my mind!
Excuse me? Hol…hold on, hold on. Did you just actually say ZERO PAIN MEDS?!?! 😮😮😮 I could neeevverrr. Are you superhuman? Do you have another way you treat your pain? Gooooodd looortt.
@@jessb465
Most place across the US don’t prescribe pain medication anymore. I was told that when I get mine done I can take Ibuprofen
Did they at least put you to sleep for the procedure??
You have beautiful teeth ! Thanks for sharing your story
Im doing research and my Long term Goal is to get Full Implants and i need to find out if i do 1 extraction at a time won't be a challenge for a dentist or dentists although i do remember you said all extractions are about the same as only 1. I'm on partial disability SSDI so my learning is somewhat limited. And its only $1000 per mo. which im grateful for but how will i even be approved for dental payments. But i love your channel and im so happy i stumbled on to it.!
Thank you, As I sit here 1 say after exactly what you had swelling up like a greedy chipmunk. This makes me more relaxed. Thanks.
I have to get 26 removed soon and I’m so scared I don’t wanna go under any sort of anesthesia but idk if I’m mentally strong enough to undergo the procedure with just the local anesthetic shots
Im getting just the upper denture, I went in for the impressions today. My bottom teeth are ok somehow, but the uppers are a wreck. I dont look horrible, but there's a few missing and the pain, MY GOD THE PAIN! Basically I went the same route in my younger day as you did. Plus, back then I was working in Hollywood - where looks are everything. I did my best to keep the main front teeth looking presentable, which worked for a while. Then I started doing the drugs, mainly cocaine. Hollywood sort of drives a person to it whether you think it will or not. The upside was the coke numbed the crap outta my face so the pain was gone. But the downside is its wrecking the teeth, and now youre a coke addict. Just compounding problems now. In 2001 I decided to drop out of Hollywood and moved to GA to be closer to family and start a new life. But the teeth were going downhill. Like a dummy, I just powered through. Brushing and flossing like a madman. But it was too late. Ive had a upper tooth pulled every 3 or 4 years. Im pretty much out of teeth to chew with. Last week I decided its time. The pain those shots will cause is nothing compared to living with teeth pain for the next 30 years. Im excited to finally be out of pain and to get my beautiful smile back. Ive watched a few of your videos. Thank you for sharing your story. Its helped me mentally prepare. Thanks again.
My experience was horrendous 🥺 Now, 10 days out fr top extractions & 6 days out fr bottom extractions- they started by breaking the original plan which was to use general that way entire top & bottom could be extracted at same appt, instead w/o informing me, they decided to go w conscious sedation which does not work on combined w/ me not being able to get numb! 💔 I suffered horrendously,,, bottoms had to be done on a diff day cuz they simply couldn't proceed- 4 days later, under general, I had my bottoms done- woke crying in the worst pain possible 😭😭😭😭
Now, still crying on a daily fr the amount of pain I'm enduring on both top & bottom,,, these temp dentures are a nightmare!😢 Praying someday I'll be able to start eating even just the softest of foods- 2nd week of my wk leave, glad I extended it for an extra week (3wks) but I'm dying to get back to work- can't even stand n can hardly walk to the bathroom
Beyond weak n shaky fr starving for so long- this by far has knocked me on my back,,,, hopefully someday I'll be grateful I did this, but for now, regretting n hating it to the extreme 😭😭😭😭
Needing to get a refill of Norco took over 24hrs allowing the pain to reach 10+ 😣 not ok ☹️
Ow' I wish that I never read your message 😔 😕 😞. I am getting all my teeth pulled out in a couple weeks time and everyone else is saying that it will be okay. But after reading your feedback I am starting to get worried again 🙃! Ow my gosh! 😬. Anyway, I hope that you are feeling better today and have no more regrets! 😅
I just had all my teeth pulled out the pain I had was just a lot of pressure and I just felt uncomfortable
Am still a little swollen were my inplants are at and my chin feels so tight am just waiting to heal a little bit I can't wait to get my new teeth I got my teeth extraction on September 21 2023 your video are awesome to watch thax
i had 16 teeth pulled at once. The shot was the only thing i felt as well, once i was completely numb, i really couldnt even tell he was pulling or cutting the teeth out, nor did i know he was putting stitches on my gums.
Sadly i could only afford a temporary partial denture to cover the gap in the front, that ended up breaking in half when i dropped it, and luckily the half that covers the front still fits into my mouth and stays. Been doing that for about 6 years now. With the way the price of everything is skyrocketing, and wages are not, i will never be able to afford all on fours... :(
Thankyou. About to do this Monday...
Update: Pulled upper teeth... They only can use so much Novocain as she talks about... It wasn't as bad as I thought... But, once very numbed up and then didn't feel much of anything... She's spot on... I was NOT 'out of it' at all...
This is very helpful. Thank you. I am a little terrified about the pain. I'm having the top teeth removed in 1 day and having the denture after 2 weeks. I have heart issues so there is some concern about putting me under. The up side is that I'm excited about being able to smile confidently again, and eat without pain. Your teeth look great. I appreciate what you said about being adamant about having the pain fully under control before they start the procedure.
Those are the videos l remember most....l have been thru extractions, full mouth, seen a lot of people going thru it but never have l seen anyone's face swell so badly. I remember thinking, is this the same girl? You looked out of it but the swelling was so out of control and felt really bad for you. Great video!
I was 14yr old and still 4 stubborn baby molars pulled the same day. Just Novocaine. And that dentist struggled. They did not want to be removed . Then I had 1 wisdom tooth removed as as an adult and that one almost came out by itself. Minimal bleeding and pain and no swelling.
Having some soreness at extractions the morning after "full-mouth extractions" of my remaining natural teeth. Alternating triple-strength Advil (3 OTC easier to swallow over brand-new dentures than the 1 prescription-strength "horse pill") and extra strength Tylenol (normal OTC dosage) every 3 hours, plus 1 amoxicillin capsule with each meal (3/day). Dentist-provided gauze pads comfortable but bulky; cotton "cosmetic rounds" from dollar store much less bulky and just as effective at absorbing oozing from extraction sites. Eating very soft solids with little texture (ice cream, mashed potatoes, applesauce, yogurt, and a little oatmeal) thus far, plus liquids (water, juice, breakfast coffee). Slept without gauze in mouth but towels on pillow; drooled during the night, but no oozing onto pillow. Dentures worn continuously since yesterday's extractions; heading back to dentist just before lunchtime for fit adjustments (+ "Denture Cleaning 101" instructions). Looking forward to lunch at Culver's afterwards -- although I'll probably be having mashed potatoes and a fairly smooth soup for my lunch there.
I had my top pulled and bone shaved down today. I requested to be put under because I was paranoid about the pain, but walked in this morning knowing it was what was best for me. Followed through with ease and got up and walked out without letting the assistants help. It was nothing compared to what I thought I would go through, slepped for a few hours, and have been up moving around like normal. Also had a root puncture, my sinus cavity besides an occasional nose bleed zero pain.
Hey, gang. :) (And thanks again, Kristi! :)
Let me echo so many other voices here: Extraction pain wasn't that bad!
Had my uppers removed 1.5 years ago (PLUS bone grafts, sinus lifts and implants--all in one day) and was amazed at how smooth both the procedure and the recovery were. The only "stuff" I got during the process amounted to two Atavan, some nitrous and the anesthetic injections--and that was enough to let me doze off during it all!
Afterwards: Only took six of the codeine the doc prescribed (and one was for menstrual cramps! ;).
Just had my lowers removed two weeks ago (my "bottom surgery," so to speak), and it was a similar sitch--and this time I didn't even need the nitrous!
As Kristi alluded in the video, it's often the rubbing of an ill-fitting denture later down the line that causes the most "agony." But fortunately, that's relatively easy to fix.
Can't wait for your Part II video next week, Kristi!
it hurts your heart sometimes more than your body.
I am so happy I came across your channel. I'm going in Wednesday for my full extraction and I am terrified. I completely agree that the shots are the worst part. They are putting me under witch really makes me nervous. They didn't ask for any pre option blood draws, EKG or anything. Is that normal? Once its over I'm also terrified of the pain. I'm not getting immediate dentures cause my insurance will only pay for the temporary or the permanent. Anyway, you helped ease some of my worries and for that I am thankful 🙂
These comments make me think my dentist did the bare minimum lol. Im 23, 6 days ago I had a full mouth extraction, I had 28 left that were all breaking apart from a genetic thing. It took them 30 minutes to do the whole procedure. No numbing gel, no pills beforehand, completely awake and conscious. After a ton of shots on the inside and outside of my gums, top and bottom they waited maybe a couple minutes before starting.Pretty sure he missed a tooth with the numbing as well and when i told them I could feel it alot hes like well its almost there and keeps cranking it. Twice he dropped a tooth in the back of my throat and I had to stop in the middle of this thing and hack the tooth out and hand it to them. Walked out covered in blood. they didnt sew my gums just gave me a few strips of gauze to bite for 45 min and sent me on my way. Fingers crossed the rest of the healing goes well. Lesson learned the hard way, find a really good dentist who actually cares because itll be a pretty rough 30 minutes if not.
I swear one awful experience with a dentist can scar a person forever.
This was a great video. My teeth (and gums) have been in "decay mode" for a very long time. I've had different procedures already - some teeth removed and gum surgery. I know the full extraction is coming. So, it scares me! But this video really made me feel better!! 😊 BTW, your dentures look awesome!
😢I'm in Jax too! I'm freaking out to have all but 4 bottom teeth extracted in 2 1/2 weeks and lots of bone grafting. I will have "immediate dentures" my teeth have been breaking, falling out or being extracted during the past 4 yrs due to a bone issue and now I never smile, I feel like I look like a crackhead. I've waited several months to make the final decision to just do it and am watching everything I can to prepare. All my close ones tell me "lots of people do it, you'll be fine" . That is so hurtful, they have their teeth and can't grasp having your teeth gone...forever. I appreciate your video. I'm worried about emotions as well as physical pain. But I cant wait to smile again, it's been a while.
My biggest fear are those needles to the roof of the mouth! The loss of the last 9 uppers doesn't bother me. The fact that I will no longer have my natural upper teeth doesn't bother me. The fact that I'll be a denture wearer for ever doesn't bother me. The needles to the roof of the mouth has me scared silly!
There was not paint at all..just the sensation of been worked out inside mouth..and the days after ..it’s like a wear missing feelings on your lips and so on..the stitches inside,,count to be adapted to be with..but it all happens for a reason… and when the swallow passes..turns into a normal bite
I ended up in hospital 2 years ago because of a tooth infection, I have had the tooth removed, but it took him 6 shots to numb the mouth. I have spoken to my dentist, and he touched on the subject about implants. But unless I win lotto, or a way to pay them off. I am 57 and have had Gingivitis all my life. Not fun.
Just got 16 removed on Saturday the 4th of February. It didn't hurt except for the infected tooth which the antibiotic didn't totally kill he was able to put some super numbing medication on it and get it out after that it's pretty much just recovering from being sore from the extraction site of course you can't brush your teeth for the first couple of days as you can't remove those blood clots that form in those sockets as it's part of the healing process. But my experience only one tooth out of all 16 hurt
Greetings! I am in the process of looking for a prostadontist that accepts Medicaid so I can finally get my dentures. I am anxious about the whole process. Everyone wants me to get implants, but Medicaid doesn't cover them, so that's okay with me. The problem is finding someone to actually do it! Thanks for sharing your experience. Love and blessings ♥️🙏
Wow! You guys are so brave! I have sjogrens syndrome which has destroyed my teeth. I had a filling two days ago and I'm about to go in and have two molar extractions and get a permanent crown put on a front tooth (it was prepped 10 days ago) right now and I'm petrified! I still need 5 more crowns and a bridge from the two that are being extracted today. This will be extraction 3 & 4 for me. The prior two were really painful and took a while to heal due to autoimmune illnesses. I need so much work done and its so expensive. I was hoping for a full top extraction and dentures but only two were bad enough. My bottom need a ton of fillings. Good luck to everyone here on their journey for a beautiful, healthy smile 😁
Your implants are amazing they look really good on you! I always been self conscious about my smile and at the moment I’m in the process of getting dentures. I just need to save for the down payment for implants 😉
Your hair looks great 👍 I love the length.
