Hehe, my story... sucked. It should not be used as reference when planning a trip to the dentist... here goes.
So, like you, I had to have my wisdom teeth removed... Born with all four (lucky me) and the procedure is simple, one at a time, top then bottom. So he starts with the top right, goes fine, done in 10 minutes... He then goes for the top left... Urghhh, hurts to remember this atm, lol. For some reason, it just wouldn't budge, I was 'rooted-in' very well, and propped up against the next tooth's root. I'll spare the details, but I will say that the dentist took a break from that tooth and moved to the bottom teeth.
By this time, I am in incredible pain, not cause I felt anything (I was completely numb), but cause my neck and face muscles were taught and cramped up due to my having to work against his pushes and pulls...
So, hoping that now he's moved to the bottom teeth, it would go smoother than the last tooth. Well, boy was I wrong. Back and forth, left and right, trying anything in his bag of tricks, nada. Wouldn't budge! Once again, *details removed* (you just don't wanna know) he finally got the bottome two out, but it was 2 hours later. He then goes back up top, and finishes off the job.
A procedure that should have taken say, an hour, an hour and a half tops. I was there for 5 hours, and when i left, i couldn't move my head, had a splitting headache (i never, ever, get headaches) and couldn't eat solid foods for 3 weeks. Diet of milkshakes and 'fortified' jello, mashed potatoes, mashed everything for that matter
Thank god it's a once in a lifetime thing, like chickenpox.
Don't be worried, it's a very easy fix, for most people, I, unfortunately, have 'unusually' closely spaced teeth, makes for a great smile tho
Listen, my story is a 1 in a 1000 type of thing, you have nothing to worry about. Just be prepared to not be able to eat solids for two-three days. You're gonna look like a chipmunk for those two days with swollen cheeks, girls are gonna be all over you
(not really)
I love going to the dentist, there's no better feeling than coming out of there, clean and fresh, and good to go for a good 6-12 months.
