Getting wisdom teeth removed

[Taz_Zoee]

I had all four of mine out when I was 17. None of them had broke through the skin. I have a bad reaction to being put under so I was sick the first day.
But I know many people who had no problems at all. In fact, one person went out and had a steak dinner the next night. (not that I suggest something like that, just making a point)
So it is something you'll just have to play by ear. I hope you are well enough to visit your friend.

Something else that is really soothing, and a good antiseptic, is good old warm salt water!

Check with your dentist on this...he may want a day or so of healing before you do this.

I had mine out when I was 16 - one every 2 weeks. One was slightly impacted. I felt a slight ache, and needed a nap when I got home (two block walk to my dentist!).

hugs!

I had all 4 of mine out when I was 18 or so. The way our insurance coverage worked a the time, I had to stay overnight in hospital for coverage. My doc agreed to let me stay the night AFTER the surgery. So my folks didn't have to deal with me; I tend to be a bad patient, I am a big baby to this day.

Icing helps plenty.

Think of it as an extra opportunity to eat all the ice cream you want!

You can put the cold stuff on the inside as well as the outside, ya know?
