Bye bye tooth....

[MadAudio]

So tomorrow I'm going to the dentist and he is going to remove my one and only wisdom tooth (lower right in case you're all that interested). While I think it has been fairly unobtrusive, the dentist does not concur. He also tells me that since it is not impacted and is already a bit loose it should be an easy procedure. Well in my book, having any part of your body removed is not "easy." But he assures me that I'll be able to eat dinner that same night. We'll see.


I'm just hoping he can get it all in one piece so I can keep it!

And FWIW, I already have a speech prepared for why I haven't been flossing as much as I should have been since the last visit!

Hey Norman!

I missed you, dude.

You still wearing that sweat filled Jamfest hat?

One of them wasn't fully numb. I bravely wept, like a little girl

I "needed to get" mine cut out "immediately" 3 years ago. I still have 'em

Grey!!! How have you been?


I'd write you a poem too, except I refuse to impugn the honor of a lady with a filthy limerick . . .


I'll leave that to Sean Connery!

You are very highly evolved, just as I have always suspected! Wisdom teeth are becoming extinct in humans, and given the state of things these days that's no surprise!

Out? I just had novocaine, and apparently not enough!

really? I've got to get all 4 out and I'm stressing about it.

I had three wisdom teeth and they were all removed in my early 20s. I had them done at the Ohio State Dental School because it was cheap--$25 per tooth including parts and labor. The student had trouble getting one out so she got help from the instructor. Other than that, it went smoothly. I looked like a chipmunk afterwards but the beer and tylenol helped.

Mad, it sounds like this is the Summer of dental work for you. Didn't you also get a crown done?

i guess if an oral surgeon does it he can give ya better drugs....i would not let them do this conscious anyway....cut the gums open, drill and crack up the teeth, and then pull them out.....nope, put me out....

Have you considered doing the extraction yourself? There's a lot of good used equipment on e-bay and a bunch of helpful DIY articles out there. There might even be a forum (like this one) to help. I mean, if you can record at home, why can't you also pull teeth?

[irishfolker]

This afternoon I am having all of my remaining teeth pulled and getting full dentures. I'm really not looking forward to the procedure, but they're giving me great drugs for it -- demerol, phenergan and halcyon. I will be supremely looped today!

[Farview]

Here is a piece of advice. If you are going to be put out, as in "count backwards from 100...", they use sodium pentathol to put you out. That's 'truth serum'. Whomever drives you home will be able to ask any question and you will give a truthful answer. I lost a girlfriend that way.

[irishfolker]

They'll be using nitrous oxide. Should be fun.

[dwillis45]

I had my extractions done using Novocain.

Nitrous oxide isn't a pain killer. It's a relaxant. I would assume they are using novacain along with it...I hope.
