I'm young and just got my wisdom teeth taken out. I've been reading a l. ot of horror stories of long recovery and dry socket and infections. How common are these? Seems like they come whether you're doing your recovery remedies.

Thanks for any insight or reassurance you can give
Peace

i had all of mine and two molars removed all at the same time.. some of mine were impacted, and i was only under nos at the time of surgery...
i remember the dr saying you'll feel a bit of pressure here as he was yanking at teeth that felt like they were attached to my soul at the other end, lol..
i also remember making drilling noises out loud while he was using the drill because i was so juiced up on nitrous, lol.. the dr even stopped to ask if i was ok.. i was all, hell yah, i'm ok, give me more juice, lol...

i didn't get dry socket or any of that shit, but man, that had to have been one of the most painful surgeries i've ever had.. i think it was mostly due to mine being impacted though..

hope you have a speedy and pain free recovery...

Yeah neither me or any of my friends got dry socket when we were that age. Fuck we all smoked the same day as the operation. Just throw some gauze in your mouth and it will be fine. Do the rinse with salt water after it will be fine.

Mine was pretty much pain free, just had novacaine. All I ccould feel was the pressure. He even had to split one down the middle because it wouldn't come out in one piece. Again, no pain, just felt the tugging.

Most of the achiness after was from all the novacaine shots, and that was gone the next day

Nope. When I was 15 a had surgery to remove cancerous systs from my jaw. That required removing some of my adult teeth. But it also allowed my wisdom teeth to come in with no pain or discomfort.

Hurt for one day, I dont like the blood taste so I drank beer, if you are young dont do that. Dont smoke for a day or so either that is how you get dry socket. If you do smoke put a cotton ball on the wound smoke than take it out.
