There's always that chance of getting a dry socket though......

Thanks for the info!

I had just one wisdom tooth pulled last Friday and it still hurts! Motrin is still my closest friend and I'm worried I shouldn't be experiencing soreness at this point. How long does it take to go away?

I was the same way. I was really sore and mine were just yanked...not cut. I would say mine was throbbing for about 3 weeks afterwards...

Mine had to be cut out after they had to break them in to pieces to extract them. I've still got them around here somewhere.

Vicadine (sp?) got me through mine. :clap_1:

Seriously, if you are still in pain after a week, I would call today just to let them know. You don't want to find out Sat. night that there is a problem and have to wait til monday while you are in serious pain.

You could make a necklace...

This is all good to know. Mine was just yanked, but it was impacted and I'd grown an extra root that wasn't supposed to be there. What can I say, I've always been an overachiever!

I'm saving them for my old age so if I lose a tooth, I can just jam that sucker in its place. :funn:

With a little super glue, it might not be so bad! A lot cheaper than going to the dentist!

Get a gold cap or two, engrave with your initials and you're good to go!

yipes. My husband tells me how he had to go on the high-test painkillers for the same procedure. They'd probably phone that in for you, I'm sure it's fairly standard.

Hearing that makes me glad i am a super-evolved neo-humanoid... ;-) ...i was born without them! whew!
