    Thank you for this wonderful video! I’m 43 and just had my bottom left wisdom tooth and molar beside it removed last Monday morning. I have barely been able to get out of bed or off the couch from the excruciating pain that’s 24/7. I’ve seen my surgeon twice the procedure to see how he can help me. I just kept saying it’s all normal and I should have had these out before I turned 20. Unfortunately, that ship sailed 25 years ago...so let’s focus on what we’re dealing with here. I’m doing everything I can possibly find through medical journals and videos presented by other oral surgeons. My doctor seems annoyed with me being in so much pain. I ran out of my prescription pain meds mid-day of the second day home. I didn’t love them, but they seemed to be pretty much the only thing that softened the pain enough for me to rest for a short time. Other than that, I can barely drink (water, pedialite, decaf green tea, and ensure as a meal replacement considering I can’t chew a noodle. I’m just trying to figure out want is normal and not. He looked in my mouth and for about .10 and said nope, no dry sockets. He didn’t touch my face or anything. I tried to focus him on pain management, which I kind of got the impression he didn’t want me involved in. I told him I get a modest amount of relief from taking a Vicodin and rx. 800mg. Ibuprofen. When I left the office from my surgery he sent me home with a rx for six Vicodin. Needless to say, I went through them starting at noon on Monday taking the last on Tuesday night. These pills make me feel terrible and would rather be someone who can just take Advil and Tylenol in a situation like this, but the pain was excruciating. When I asked for another Vicodin prescription to help me get through the weekend (so I don’t end up in the hospital) he gave me a rx for four pills which included a lecture about addiction. I understand the opioid crisis is an incredibly serious problem, but it seem some doctors are not putting their patients needs first for fear of them mistreating the drug. I would feel similarly, but isn’t there a better way to identify people who are drug seeking beyond someone who is in agony and can’t speak from the pain? Sorry for the rant, I’ve just had a week of pain, frustration, and feeling hopeless to get this situation under control. If anything has any similar experiences or tricks for pain management, please, please let me know!❤️❤️

I don’t know why they are moving late in life I’m really nervous probably going to need them taken out. I have a question I know you are not a allergist but I have horrible allergies and I get bad mucus in my throat and my Eustachian tubes get plugged I can hear myself breathing I’ve been to drs tried Claritin with no help. Going to try Zyrtec. I’m worried this will interfere with healing process and it’s worse when I drink something is there a medication you give your patients to help and have you ever dealt with this as I’m extremely nervous thank you

      I got home & took the ibuprofen, & it calmed down the pain. Then I just stuck with the instructions, on taking my ibuprofen, and I honestly didn't feel anymore pain afterwards. The biggest pain I had, was before I even got my wisdom teeth out. The healing process was thankfully good on me, I didn't feel much pain at all, besides from the first day after the wisdom teeth extractions, & that only happened until I took the ibuprofen of course. Then I was all gooood

    I went to a very expensive dental expert and he said the chances of it becoming cancer are much lower than 25%. Mine is very deeply impacted along the bone and he says the risks of permanent nerve damage is too high (he said one in 200) while the chances of cancer he said was much higher. I am wondering where you came to the 25% chance of it becoming cancer?

    Is an impacted tooth a harder procedure? I really can't afford to do surgery so I'd have to go to a dentist and just get numbed. I know it's his job and he has experience but I'm just so anxious I don't feel like I trust people cutting my mouth. What even scarier is getting bone removed. If my tooth is impacted does that mean I got to get bone removed to? Just thinking about all that makes me anxious and sick

    • @midnightblue1031
      @midnightblue1031 3 года назад

      Ik this is super late, but I'd think it would be harder to remove cause of having to remove surrounding bone to get to the tooth. Read it can hurt quiet a bit too and take more time to heal than if it were erupted. It'll also cost more. So sorry you cant get the iv sedation. I'd be nervous af too. If you already went through it, I hope it went ok for you.

      So I had mine out yesterday morning, since then I've been alternating my prescribed meds and I ibuprofen ever like 6 hours to keep one from out doing the other. Have plenty of ice at hand and I've been icing both jaw sides every 3 hours for like 15-20 minutes. Sleep upright-ish and just stay calm, keeps any instant pain from emerging. Hope this helps my friend

I don't think I e ever felt pain like this before maybe he did it wrong but wow I just lay in bed and moan
