I had all four done several years ago. I was 28? Anyway, all four were pretty well impacted. I didn't want to pay for real sedation and went with laughing gas. Well, I don't think the gas was on. Doc comes in, pulls out the mikita tooth drill (he's drilling a LARGE pilot hole so he can screw in a screw driver handle and get some good leverage), and since the tooth is coming out, he's not being very, ummmmm, delicate. Well, with little gas and little novicane, when he hit nerve, I just about kicked the assistant in the head.
"Oh, we felt that, did we?" he said. "We?" what "we?"!!! So they gave me some more novicaine and I started sucking gas as best I could.
So he drills his huge holes, and pulls out a screw driver handle with a threaded tip. "Your going to feel some pressure" he says. Well, yeah, pressure. You just screwed a handle into my tooth and now you're pressing down on the handle like it's a lug wrench!!!! That one popped out.
The next few couldn't be pulled the old medieval way, so he pulled some big pliers and just crushed them. In my head. Sounded awful. He pulled out the bits and peices. Good times.
So then, you'd think the horror was over. Well, one socket got to festering and festered for a good long time. Went back and he said irrigate it and I said I was and I'm still sucking bad stuff out of it and My cheek is still swollen. Finally begins to subside (we're talking a few weeks) but still a little oozy.
So I'm sitting on the couch and I can feel this hard thing in one of my craters and I figure it's some food or something. Well, I can't get it and now it feels really hard and sharp. It's a tooth/bone fragment. So I go back and the dock just walks up to me and as I stand there, reaches in with some pliers and yanks this huge chunk of tooth out of my head!! I was actually spitting out small peices of tooth for almost a year.
Oh, I also experienced nerve damage where a one inch patch of my left lower lip went numb. Forever. Doesn't really bother me anymore, but felt funny for a while.
I would say get it done early and pay for the good sedation stuff.
Enjoy!!
Chris
