Re: OT: Narf has no more wisdom...Teeth. Owie Owie
When I had my wisdom teeth pulled I had put it off so long that the after surgery pain was actually less than the before surgery pain.

Re: OT: Narf has no more wisdom...Teeth. Owie Owie
Well, 32+ hours and my gums are still bleeding. Trust me, you don't want to hear more than that. I'm headed into the doctor.
My first wisdom tooth was pretty painless. But then, that dentist was so good I actually nearly fell asleep during the teeth-cleaning. Seriously, if I was even a little bit more relaxed that time, I would have been out like a light.

Re: OT: Narf has no more wisdom...Teeth. Owie Owie
Over the past month, I've had a total of six teeth pulled. My dentist told me that if the bleeding didn't stop within three hours, I should try wrapping a teabag in gauze, then wetting it and packing it against the gum. The tannic acid in the tea is supposed to help stop the bleeding.
(I'm not sure how much it helped, though. I didn't stop bleeding either time until sometime after I went to bed that night.)

Re: OT: Narf has no more wisdom...Teeth. Owie Owie
Yeah, we called the dentist and he recommended tea bags. They do seem to be working.

When you get teeth pulled, no that doesn't hurt much. When you have your gum cut open, then they use a drill to destroy the teeth into tiny little pieces, then they scrape out the remains... THAT HURTS. |

Re: OT: Narf has no more wisdom...Teeth. Owie Owie
When the pain medication isn't working right, that hurts too.

Re: OT: Narf has no more wisdom...Teeth. Owie Owie
A buddy of mine is going to have surgery in the next few weeks on his teeth.
A few years ago he feel asleep at the wheel and had a major accident (over $500,000 in total hospital bills). The accident jammed his top front teeth up into his gums. They are just now going to repair that.
So they are going to go in and cut the gums and bring his teeth back down to where they used to be. It sound very painful.

Re: OT: Narf has no more wisdom...Teeth. Owie Owie
Can we talk about other painful ailments?
I don't have Teeth trouble but I do occasionally get Iritis where my cornea gets stuck to the lense in my eye. Then when light hits it it tries to dilute but remeber it is stuck together. Extremely unpleasant, I would say on par to having teeth out. Goes for weeks at a time.

Re: OT: Narf has no more wisdom...Teeth. Owie Owie
Tooth surgery falls under the same category as other orthopedic (joint) repairs - 1/3 do well, 1/3 have a different sort of pain 1/3 have worse pain when all is said and done.
