Found out yesterday that I will needing a bad wisdom tooth to be removed sometime this next week or two. The pain it’s causing is no picnic….it fucking hurts! Today was an improvement then yesterday due to antibiotics and prednisone so they are helping. But the cure-all to end all will be a tooth extraction which I look forward to as pulling out my own teeth….oh wait….my own hair out, not that there’s much to pull at the moment. 😅
My 💚 with you. Teeth issues have haunted me all my life. Soon that tooth will be gone.
@LnzyHou Thank you Lindsay. I appreciate the empathy. And the tooth is on my upper left side which will be hard to get to. Never needed a tooth to be extracted so yes I am a little anxious and frustrated. Any ideas how long it could be for recovery? It’s just the one tooth.
Not long. Keep rinsing gently with warm salt water afterwards. No sucking. Gently rinse. Frequently.
You’ll be glad it’s gone.
@LnzyHou I had 4 impacted, super fun surgery
Gives me chills thinking about it,
@LnzyHou it was real deal hospital surgery back then no in the office and out the door stuff
@LnzyHou Oooh….nasty! Sorry to hear about. I had a friend who had get not just one but TWO root canals done almost at the same time on the same side of mouth. He was suffering for a few weeks on that one. Not just the pain but the price….he didn’t have insurance so I can’t imagine what that would have cost him.
Thousands.

My wisdom teeth were embedded in the roof of my mouth. You don’t want to hear that horror story. Suffice to say, there was blood on my clothes and his before it was over.
