I was put under IV sedation when I got all four of mine out, and I was in very little pain afterwards. Not even much swelling or bruising, either. (However, the 15-minute car ride from the surgeon's office to my house remains an utter blank.) I took a few doses of Percoset (a Vicodin equivalent...man, that **** messes you up...), but after that, regular Tylenol was more than enough. I think the key for me was using bags of frozen peas on either side of my face; they stay colder longer than an icepack, and they're perfect for conforming to the shape of your face. A little creative work with a piece of fabric meant that I could even keep them attached without having to hold them. :P



And no, before you ask, we didn't eat the peas afterwards. ;)

I was supposed to have mine all removed before college, but i forgot.

Now all 4 have grown in like normal teeth (with the exception of i used to suddenly end up chewing on a severed chunk of gumms every so often).



Then again i'm at college so i havent bothered to take care of my teeth much. Yarr.

Know how you feel man, but beware, I was allright for a few days with just the general stuff like soreness, but 4 days after the operation I came down with a 104 temp, a killer headache and vomiting caused by a secondary infection, so watch yourself man.

Ah, be careful - that could be a sign of Amazonian Blind Brainworms* heading for your lower colon.

Yes, that is a sensible precaution. Now, as your doctor I'm afraid I'll need your housekeys, credit card details and lower intestine.
