sureshot25 Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 I got mine out (all 4) yesterday 8:45 am. I'm surprised I'm able to get on the computer. Anyone here have them pulled? Also, does anyone know how you get dry socket? The damn office is closed so I can't even call them and ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
defender17 Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 yeah i had mine yanked a little over a year ago. What do you mean by dry socket? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sureshot25 Posted July 21, 2007 Author Share Posted July 21, 2007 Dry socket I heard is really painful. You get it if you smoke or (I think) drink through a straw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tebjr Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 One way to get a dry socket is by using a straw before your gums have healed. They are quite painful. http://www.dentalgentlecare.com/dry_socket.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
defender17 Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 Okay, sorry I never heard that term before. I should I guess since I'm a predent, but whatever. Yeah, I never had that, my gums healed really quickly, and in a day I was back to eating normally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timp Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 Also, does anyone know how you get dry socket? The damn office is closed so I can't even call them and ask. Just take it easy for a week or so and you won't get one. And, like tebjr said, don't use a straw for a while, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgbaseball Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 Mine didn't hurt at all. I actually woke up halfway through the procedure but didn't feel anything. The best part is eating cold things afterwards! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjbushido Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 My experience was horrible.. They drugged me way too much. I was out for like 3 hours after the whole ordeal was over. And the lady broke one of the four wisdom teeth on the way out, and that one hurt like hell for a week. My experience.. was not good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zneal89 Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 That makes me feel comfortable going into getting mine out sometime in the next month or so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sureshot25 Posted July 21, 2007 Author Share Posted July 21, 2007 So far I've been only eating soft things. Yesterday I went to bed at 11 am, didnt wake up until about 9:30 this morning. I didnt get any sleep the previous night. I work overnight so my sleep schedule is gonna be screwed up big time. So far I've had mashed up banannas, apple sauce, and mashed potatoes. For drinks I've had milk, water and soda. I used the gauze for the first day. I'm just curious cause like I said earlier, the damn office is closed. They're not open until Monday.
