Questions for Wisdom Teeth Removal Victims
i'm pretty sure my wisdom teeth is coming in but i have very little knowledge about it, like i didn't even know it actually exists. i thought ppl in my country are just free of it. i guess im wrong. my lower wisdom teeth hurt soooo fucking bad and idk if it's because of complications or something else? should i actually get it checked?
and is it true for the operation you're given the choice to pick full/general anesthesia or local anesthesia? is it true general anesthesia would make you act like a fool when you wake up? does local anesthesia make you do that too? does local anesthesia hurts at all or just uncomfortable?
Yes, absolutely get it checked out if you can! If you need your wisdom teeth removed, it's better to do it now than wait until further complications. Where I'm from, it's usually done under local anesthesia unless the position or anatomy of the teeth require a more intrusive surgery. General anesthesia felt overkill to me and they didn't even offer...... reply
If it hurts, definitely get it checked. Chances are, it's starting to come out and impact your other teeth. I got mine removed because it was heavily advised by my orthodontist at the time.

Yes, get them checked. Wisdom teeth can grow in at an angle which presses against your other teeth and will over time cause them to shift, you definitely don't want that. It's also recommended to get all of them removed, I only got my bottom two removed at first and the top ones started dropping down further than my other teeth bc there was nothing...... reply
I had a horizontal wisdom tooth stuck in my lower jaw. Ts hurts so fucking bad during surgery, but what truly hurts is the recovery because you're gonna be stuck at home for months, not allowed to do any heavy physical activity, and the anesthesia in my country was actually, normal. I think the anesthesia I took was the one where they stick a needl...... reply
Had 2 wisdom teeth removed last year. I must've had a great doctor cause it almost didn't hurt at all.
Took local anesthesia, meaning they did injections into my gums. The first poke hurt a little, but then it was fine. And it didn't make me loopy or anything, I was still fully there.
Surgery took around 40min. I put in a wireless earbud on one...... 1 reply
