I think the Novacaine numbed your brain.
And I've heard your not a nice person to be around all of the time. |

suprised you are awake enough to type...the doc put me smooth out when I had mine out, IV and all. Woke up later that night, took two codine and slept until noon the next day. No pain and was eating solid food the next night. My pits took almost a full month to completly fill in.
Good Luck! |

Actually I thought your thinking of a place a little lower .... hasn't anyone told you that you shouldn't operate complicated machinery while on medication ?

NO IV just Novacaine, he removed the upper wisdom that the roots were not anchored in tight. Although if they have to remove the lower ones.... OH CRAP I am in for a bad day.
OH, and OPERATORERROR: "And I've heard your not a nice person to be around all of the time." Have you been talking to my family? |

Don't forget to wear your baby bib!
JK, I had all mine out on the same day and oh man did that leave an empty feeling in my mouth. Oh, and I thought you converted your fridge into a safe. |

I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth out at the same time. They gave me a sodium pentathol(sp) drip in an IV, and I don't remember a damn thing.
Neat part was when my wife was driving me home. I had a mouthful of gauze in the new pits in my mouth, and they naturally got blood-soaked. Well, I told her to pull over, because I'd swallowed a ton of blood, and wanted to barf. You should have seen the expression of the people at the gas station when I barfed up a gut full of blood by the gas pumps. [puke] Heh. -Gloftoe |

Good ole US Navy medicine, I had all four wisdom teeth pulled at the same time.
Doc walked into the room, pumped 6 shots of novicane into my mouth and used a pair of pliers and a small paint scraper to remove my wisdom teeth. I got 800mgs of Motrin and the rest of the day off when it was done. I got two more days off when I went into work and didn't change the gauze pads. I just sat at my desk and drooled blood on my shirt and desk till my supervisor sent me home. Nothing is more fun than picking peanuts (or anything else small and hard, popcorn for instance) out of those holes in your head and jaw where the teeth used to be. It really didn't hurt that much. |

Feels good huh?
I was a mutant. I had an extra set of teeth BEHIND my wisdom teeth (upper) that grew straight forward - had all 6 pulled at the same time. He didn't give me a drip, but some kind of shot - then had to shoot me up again when I started to wake up in the middle of it all. I don't know about hiding an AR15 in there, it would hurt. Maybe if you go pick up one of those Kel-Tecs... |

Wishing you a speedy recovery. BTW - Novocaine (procaine) is not used that much (at least by choice). Most dentists will use 2% lidocaine-HCl with 1:100,000 epinephrine. The esters (such as procaine) fell out of favor in the late 60s, with the advent of the amides (lidocaine, mepivacaine, prilocaine). The only ester with widespread use in dentistry is tetracaine (usually applied as a topical gel before the injection).

Had all 4 of mine pulled on a Tuesday afternoon after getting shots to freeze me up. I thought I would be cool and try to watch as much as I could till I saw the blooody fingers coming out of my mouth. They gave me Tylenol 3 (with codine) for pain. I took the T3 that day and the following day but all it was doing was knocking me out. Thursday morning I went out & got some extra strength excedrin and was out drinking beer that night. It wasn't near as bad as I thought it would be but I am in no hurry to repeat the proccess.
