Guest farnsbarns Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Local, had my first ever filling (not bad for 35, and he said it wasn't actually a cavity) at the same time. Thankfully my father in law works with pretty much the best dentist in the UK, lectures at Kings College, London. I was able to strike up a deal whereby I am going to do some work for them in return.

TommyK Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Keep the gauze wet. I hear dry sockets are a be otch. I had all four done at once, while in my 30's. Dentist said two had to come out now the other two could wait. I decided I didn't want to go through that more than once, so out they all came. I opted for the knock-out. Loved the drugs. Anacin3 (with codeine). Great stuff. When the pain got bad, I just popped the pills and I was out for hours. After a couple days I was good as new.

DAS44 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Neither of my parents had them, same goes for me. Hope you feel stronger soon, people tell me the sedation drugs they give you are pretty darn powerful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryUK Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Well that's a bit of wisdom. 'Should have been decades ago'. Get well soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff-7 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Had all 4 removed when I was in my teens since they were likely to undo all the correction done by braces. Prepare to have chipmunk cheeks for a few days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jantha Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 I had all 4 done at once back around 1997. Watched the whole thing under nitrous.. which is damn good stuff. The dentist cut me up pretty good. He had to cut the bottom ones in half to get them out. I found out two weeks later that he missed some pieces, so he had to open me up again. It was not a fun experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest farnsbarns Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Well then. I was in a little pain when I opened the thread but in fairness, we'd been stuck in traffic and the injections had worn off. I took a couple of ibuprofen and felt fine again. This morning I felt just a bit tender, no where near as bad as I thought it would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
