I have a realy bad case of horizontal impacted wisdome teeth and have an apointment to get them out..  I was told this is a little bit more extreem than usual as both sides are so low in the nurve and will need stitches in my gum and may be left with a num gum for life where the tooth was.. thay said I may be able to insist I be put to sleep for this . has anyone els had wisdome teeth like this.. whats it like waking up from an operation ??

I had 3 days in private hospital bed looked after by nuns when I had my wisdom teeth out and they was normal ones -  I wouldn't fancy a quick turn around in the chair jobby. You'll need someone with you to take you home safely as you will a bit funky in the noggin and not your self for some hours - probably be a bit puffy in the face/neck and aching for awhile too. Talk with the dental surgery they will tell you what to expect.

I've had 2 lower wisdom teeth out. Injection at the dentist and drove home about an hour later.

If they knock you out, you will need someone to drive you home.

I had both sides bottom jaw horizontal impacted wisdom teeth removed, was told they would need to be cut into 4 and then removed  :shock: was a hospital dentist that did it not normal dentist i have so was worried but it took longer to park the car, from sitting in chair to teeth out was 15 mins and was up the pub for lunch, however a girl from work had the same and spent a week off recovering when her face swelled up, i think it depends on how they are removed whether you get side effects

My bottom ones were compacted, had them out under general anaesthetic at Heartlands, went in for 9 in the morning and was out again midday-ish, then back again about 1 in the morning because the bed and pillow at home was covered in blood and I kept passing out due to the blood loss - wasn't healing in my mouth properly so got kept in over night for observation.

They did try and discharge me after I got back there on the night after being looked at but thought it best to keep me in overnight when I slid down the wall and passed out while a lift home was being organised.

Other than that I think I had two days off work to rest but no other major side effects..!

Not putting you off is it?  :-#
