Wisdom Teeth
Damian sitting nervously in the back of the car with Dick and Bruce: Is this necessary father?
Bruce: Yes, but listen it’s going to be ok bud. You’ll just be a little sore but you’ll feel alright in a few days.
Dick: Yeah! When I got mine out I bounced back almost immediately. The only thing that’s going to suck is eating soup for like a week.
Damian: I see…and what about when I wake up from the surgery? Will I really become as ridiculous and stupid as those people I watched?
Bruce chuckling: You’ll be fine. You’ll just be a little loopy-won’t even remember it when you wake up again.
Damian nodding: Okay…no videos however. If I find out either of you took a video heads will roll.
Later when the nurse is rolling Damian out in a wheelchair. Damian’s crying and his cheeks are puffed out with bloody gauze in his mouth: FATHER!
Bruce hiding his grin behind his hand: Damian, how you feel buddy?
Damian: Miserable. I thought I would be out of it…all I feel is pain.
Dick who was ready to still video Damian slowly putting away his phone:…
Them getting home with Jason and Tim ready to great them with Alfred and Duke: Hey! How you feeling?
Damian just glaring at them-especially Tim and then flipping him off.
Tim laughing: Man, he’s out of it.
Dick:…no he’s fine. Turns out he has a minor allergy to the  anesthesia they gave him so he’s completely coherent.
Tim:…listen here you little sh-
Damian mostly coherent but feeling very emotional and groggy: SUCK MY BALLS!
Everyone:…
Jason: Wow…heh. Wonder-wonder who he got that from.
I got my wisdom teeth taken out yesterday day and just to say it was SHIT. Like I thought I’d be sore and tired and stuff but apparently NO. I apparently had a very bad reaction to the anesthesia they gave me so when I woke up from surgery I was completely coherent,in pain, bleeding and crying. Like shit. I remember EVERYTHING. And yeah I was a little loopy but I was just calling the nurses pretty. Anyway, I was throwing up everything I drank and no way in hell was I keeping down any soup. I also was getting hot and cold flashes but mostly FREEZING! Those are some side effects you can have if you don’t handle that anesthesia well and I just had to have EVERY FUCKING SIDE EFFECT. Anyway here’s my take on Damian getting his wisdom teeth out❤️ these hoes gota suffer like me✨

I think we need to give some credit to high on anesthesia me, who upon not being understood when asking for their wisdom teeth to keep, because their mouth was full of gauze, opened their notes app and STARTED A NEW NOTE and didn’t just type out what they were trying to say in the last note it would have opened to, which did contain the password for my student id and school email. That’s the kind of clarity even at my most incoherent I apparently managed to retain. Also for the fact I must have spent like five minutes so concentrated on typing it, because there wasn’t a single spelling error, and I included punctuation

I’m so pleased that the knee ice pack I got myself like a year or so ago was like the most amazing thing for after the surgery. They were so nice which helped with the unbearable anxiety I had woken up with. Now to spend the next few days zooted uncomfortably so it heals fast.
The only thing that made me cry was the drug store gave my love a two hour wait for the meds they prescribed me. Which unfortunately was exactly when all the numbing starting wearing off off and the pain kicked in. But I’ve napped most of the day away so far so that’s noice
But I don’t want to take all the t3s so once I can it’ll be switched with weed because I really don’t like how they make me feel.

Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
One year ago today I had all four wisdom teeth pulled out and they’re permanently removed. I was still recovering from that.
Having wisdom teeth removed was monumentally difficult. I understand that many people hold it very dear… and I will say that my wisdom teeth extraction often really was a long and painful recovery. But it was also traumatic for me in some ways.
I feel like I came out the other end quite battered and bruised, but with a recovery I should be proud of. I say “should” because sometimes it’s hard.
Thanks for reading.

Debunking Common Myths about Wisdom Teeth: Fact vs. Fiction
Tumblr media
Introduction
Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are the last set of teeth to emerge in the oral cavity. These teeth typically erupt between the ages of 17 and 25. Due to their late arrival, wisdom teeth often cause concern and confusion among individuals. There are numerous myths and misconceptions surrounding wisdom teeth, which can lead to unnecessary worry or misunderstandings. In this article, we will debunk common myths about wisdom teeth and provide factual information to help you make informed decisions regarding your oral health.
Debunking Common Myths about Wisdom Teeth: Fact vs. Fiction
Myth 1: Everyone Needs to Have Their Wisdom Teeth Removed
Contrary to popular belief, not everyone needs to have their wisdom teeth removed. While some individuals may experience complications due to impacted or misaligned wisdom teeth, others may have fully erupted and properly aligned wisdom teeth that do not require extraction. It is essential to consult with a dental professional who can assess your specific situation and provide personalized advice.
Myth 2: Wisdom Teeth Extraction Always Requires Surgery
Although surgical extraction is necessary in some cases, it is not always the norm. If your wisdom teeth have fully erupted, are properly aligned, and do not pose any risks or oral health issues, a simple extraction procedure may be sufficient. A dental professional will evaluate the condition of your wisdom teeth and recommend the appropriate course of action.
Myth 3: Wisdom Teeth Cause Crowding of Other Teeth
One prevalent myth is that wisdom teeth cause crowding of the other teeth in the mouth. However, studies have shown that wisdom teeth do not exert enough pressure to cause significant shifting or crowding of adjacent teeth. Other factors, such as genetics, jaw size, and oral habits, play a more significant role in dental crowding. If you experience crowding, it is best to consult with an orthodontist for a comprehensive evaluation and appropriate treatment options.
Myth 4: Wisdom Teeth Always Lead to Infections
While it is true that partially erupted or impacted wisdom teeth can be more susceptible to infections, it is not an automatic consequence. Proper oral hygiene, including regular brushing, flossing, and rinsing with an antiseptic mouthwash, can help maintain good oral health and minimize the risk of infections. If you have concerns about your wisdom teeth, it is essential to seek professional dental advice.
Myth 5: All Wisdom Teeth Extraction Procedures Are Painful
The fear of pain associated with wisdom teeth extraction is a common concern among individuals. However, advancements in dental techniques and anesthesia have significantly improved the extraction process, minimizing discomfort and pain. Dental professionals employ local anesthesia, sedation, or general anesthesia to ensure a pain-free procedure. Following post-operative instructions and taking prescribed medications can help manage any discomfort during the healing process.
Myth 6: Wisdom Teeth Will Always Cause Problems Later in Life
While it is true that wisdom teeth can lead to complications, such as infections, tooth decay, or gum disease, not everyone will experience these issues. Regular dental check-ups and X-rays can help monitor the condition of your wisdom teeth and detect any potential problems early on. Your dentist will provide guidance on whether extraction is necessary or if other preventive measures can be taken.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
FAQ 1: Are all wisdom teeth impacted?
No, not all wisdom teeth are impacted. In some cases, wisdom teeth can fully erupt and align properly with the adjacent teeth. It is essential to have regular dental check-ups to assess the condition of your wisdom teeth.
FAQ 2: Can wisdom teeth cause sinus problems?
Wisdom teeth are not directly linked to sinus problems. Sinus issues are typically related to nasal congestion, allergies, or other sinus-related conditions. If you are experiencing sinus problems, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional.
FAQ 3: Can I keep my wisdom teeth if they are not causing any pain or discomfort?
If your wisdom teeth are fully erupted, properly aligned, and not causing any oral health issues, your dentist may recommend keeping them. However, regular monitoring is necessary to ensure their condition remains stable.
FAQ 4: What are the signs of impacted wisdom teeth?
Impacted wisdom teeth may exhibit symptoms such as pain, swelling, redness, bad breath, difficulty opening the mouth, or an unpleasant taste in the mouth. If you experience any of these symptoms, it is crucial to seek dental attention.
FAQ 5: How long does it take to recover from wisdom teeth extraction?
The recovery period after wisdom teeth extraction varies for each individual. Generally, it takes about one to two weeks to heal fully. Following post-operative instructions, such as maintaining proper oral hygiene and avoiding certain foods, can help expedite the healing process.
FAQ 6: Can I drive home after a wisdom teeth extraction procedure?
If you undergo a surgical extraction that involves general anesthesia or intravenous sedation, it is recommended to arrange for a responsible adult to drive you home. The effects of anesthesia can impair your judgment and coordination, making it unsafe to drive.
Conclusion
Understanding the truth behind common myths about wisdom teeth is crucial for making informed decisions about your oral health. While some individuals may need to have their wisdom teeth removed due to complications, others may be able to keep them without any issues. Regular dental check-ups, maintaining proper oral hygiene, and seeking professional advice are key to managing your wisdom teeth effectively. Remember, every individual is unique, and your dentist is the best person to guide you through the decision-making process.

Wisdom Teeth Extraction: Myths and Facts
Tumblr media
Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are the final set of teeth at the back of the mouth, usually appearing in late adolescence or early adulthood. For many, these teeth are a source of confusion, discomfort, and even pain. Some people are told to get them extracted as a preventive measure, while others may experience complications that necessitate removal. However, there are many myths and misconceptions surrounding wisdom teeth extraction.
We Will Clear up the Common Myths and Separate Them From The Facts.
Myth 1: Wisdom Teeth Always Need to Be Removed
One of the most persistent myths is that everyone needs to have their wisdom teeth extracted. 
While it’s true that many people experience complications with their third molars, not everyone needs to undergo removal. Some individuals have fully developed wisdom teeth that erupt into the mouth without causing any issues. Your dentist or oral surgeon will evaluate your dental X-rays and overall oral health to determine whether extraction is necessary.
Fact: Not everyone needs their wisdom teeth extracted. Only wisdom teeth that are causing problems such as impaction, infection, or misalignment, will need removal .
Myth 2: The Extraction Procedure Is Extremely Painful
A common fear about wisdom teeth extraction is the belief that the procedure is excruciatingly painful. 
While recovery can bring discomfort, modern dentistry ensures the procedure is virtually painless. Thanks to dental anesthesia, your dentist or oral surgeon can administer a local or general anesthetic, depending on the complexity of the extraction, to ensure a safe and pain-free experience. Following the procedure, pain management options like prescribed medications or over-the-counter pain relievers can help ease any discomfort during recovery.
Know more about The Comfort of “THE WAND”: Pain free Local Anesthesia in Dentistry.
Fact: With anesthesia, the extraction itself is not painful. The recovery period may involve some discomfort, but pain management options are available to ease the process.
Myth 3: Wisdom Teeth Extraction Leads to Severe Complications
Some people avoid wisdom teeth extraction due to fear of severe complications like nerve damage, dry sockets, or excessive bleeding. 
Although complications are possible, they are uncommon when the procedure is performed by an experienced Dentist.
Dry sockets, which occur when the blood clot in the extraction site dislodges, are the most common complication, but they can usually be avoided by following your dentist’s aftercare instructions carefully. Any bleeding or swelling typically resolves within a few days, and the risk of serious complications is low.
Fact: Serious complications are rare with wisdom teeth extraction. Following proper aftercare minimizes the risk of complications.
Myth 4: Wisdom Teeth Don’t Affect Your Overall Health
Another myth is that wisdom teeth don’t impact your overall health.
This is not always the case.
If wisdom teeth are left untreated, they can cause various dental issues like infections, damage to adjacent teeth, and the formation of cysts or tumors. Impacted wisdom teeth (those that don’t fully emerge) can lead to pain, swelling, and even misalignment of your bite. In severe cases, untreated infections from wisdom teeth can spread to other parts of the body, potentially leading to more serious health problems.
Fact: Untreated wisdom teeth can cause infections, damage to adjacent teeth, and other health issues, making extraction necessary for some individuals.
Myth 5: Wisdom Teeth Can Be Extracted at Any Age
While it is possible to extract wisdom teeth at any age, it’s generally easier and safer to have them removed at a younger age. 
As we age, the roots of the wisdom teeth become more developed, and the bone surrounding them hardens, which can make the extraction process more difficult. Additionally, older adults are more likely to have complications during recovery. For these reasons, many dentists recommend having your wisdom teeth extracted in your late teens or early twenties.
Fact: Younger patients typically experience a smoother recovery with fewer complications, so many dentists recommend having wisdom teeth extracted during the late teens or early twenties.
Stress-Free Wisdom Teeth Care: Your Path to Comfort
Wisdom teeth extraction is a routine procedure that can provide relief from pain and prevent potential dental problems. While there are many misconceptions, the facts are that 
Not everyone needs to have their wisdom teeth removed;
The procedure is usually painless;
Complications are uncommon; &
Undergoing the procedure at a younger age is often the best option. 
If you are thinking about wisdom teeth extraction, our gentle and caring dental team in Maroubra is here to guide you through the process with compassion and expertise, helping you make the best choice for your oral health.

Here I thought I was being super lazy and silly for not doing anything since the 4th. But today I had to stop the t3s because night terrors during naps are horrible. It wasn’t until today’s nap that I realized why I kept waking up shaking. I don’t process codeine well is all this means. Oh well.
I can eat soft things so I’ve reached the point of healing where I’m just doing better. And now I’m not so hungry. Even though I’ve been chugging the extra calorie ensures (350 each 4 times a day) and drinking as much apple sauce as I want it. I’ve been hungry. I’ll keep drinking them till the stitches all fall out so I don’t push it but I know this is the fibromyalgia making the healing annoying.
But my goodness I didn’t leave or do much than step out for a smoke and i almost fainted.. twice. So no smoking, only edibles and the safe non nightmare inducing painkillers so I can heal without feeling insane. It would be nice if I could have a some what normal healing experience though

Top Tips for a Smooth Wisdom Teeth Removal Experience
Tumblr media
Getting your wisdom teeth removed is a rite of passage for many individuals. It’s one of those dental procedures that is often talked about, sometimes feared, and usually necessary to maintain your oral health. Whether your wisdom teeth have already started causing discomfort or your dentist has recommended extraction as a preventative measure, it’s essential to be well-informed. We will provide you with all the top wisdom teeth removal tips you shouldn’t overlook, ensuring you’re fully prepared for the process.
At the start of your wisdom teeth removal journey, one thing is certain—you want to make sure you're getting the best advice and care possible. That's where join 4smile comes in. Known for promoting healthier and brighter smiles, join 4smile serves as your trusted guide on all things related to dental health, including wisdom teeth extraction. Stay tuned as we dive into the essential tips, covering everything from preparation to post-op recovery. By following these tips, you can ensure that your wisdom teeth extraction experience is smooth, safe, and hassle-free.
Understanding Wisdom Teeth
Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are the last set of molars that usually emerge in your late teens or early twenties. Most people have four wisdom teeth—two on the top and two on the bottom. While these teeth served an important function for our ancestors, who had tougher diets, modern humans often don't need them. In fact, wisdom teeth can cause more problems than benefits. They can become impacted, grow in at odd angles, or push against neighboring teeth, leading to pain, infection, and other dental issues.
The issue with wisdom teeth is that there’s often not enough room for them to grow in properly. As a result, they can become trapped under the gum or crowd existing teeth. This overcrowding can lead to misalignment, which is why many dental professionals recommend their removal before any problems arise. By understanding the purpose of wisdom teeth and the potential complications they can cause, you can better prepare yourself for the extraction process.
Tumblr media
When Should Wisdom Teeth Be Removed?
Determining the right time for wisdom teeth removal is crucial. Some people never experience any issues, while others face dental complications as soon as these molars begin to emerge. If your wisdom teeth are causing discomfort, swelling, or infection, it’s time to consider removal. In other cases, even if they aren't causing immediate problems, your dentist may recommend extraction as a preventative measure to avoid future issues, such as impaction or misalignment.
In general, the earlier you address wisdom teeth extraction, the smoother the process. Younger patients tend to recover more quickly, and the teeth are easier to remove because their roots haven't fully developed. Ignoring signs of trouble can lead to more complicated procedures down the line, so it’s essential to listen to your dentist’s advice and schedule your extraction at the right time.
Preparing for Wisdom Teeth Extraction
Preparation is key to ensuring a successful and stress-free wisdom teeth extraction. First and foremost, consult with your dentist or oral surgeon to discuss the procedure in detail. Ask any questions you may have, including what to expect, how to manage pain, and what steps to take for a speedy recovery. Your healthcare provider will guide you through the process and provide specific instructions tailored to your situation.
In the days leading up to your procedure, make sure to stock up on soft foods, cold packs, and any prescribed medications. Plan ahead by clearing your schedule for a few days to allow for proper recovery. Arrange for someone to drive you home after the procedure, as you’ll likely be under anesthesia. Being well-prepared will not only ease your nerves but also set you up for a smooth and successful recovery.
What to Expect During the Procedure
Understanding what happens during the wisdom teeth removal procedure can help ease any anxiety you might have. The procedure typically starts with anesthesia to numb the area or put you into a light sleep. Once you're comfortable, the oral surgeon will make an incision in the gum tissue to expose the tooth. If the tooth is impacted or hard to reach, it may be broken into smaller pieces for easier removal.
The actual extraction process is relatively quick, often taking 45 minutes to an hour depending on the complexity. You won’t feel pain during the procedure, but you may experience some pressure as the dentist or oral surgeon works. Once the tooth is removed, the surgeon will stitch the wound to promote healing. Before you know it, you'll be waking up in the recovery room, ready to begin the healing process.
Tumblr media
Post-Operative Care: Essential Recovery Tips
Recovery after wisdom teeth removal can vary depending on the complexity of the extraction. However, there are universal post-operative care tips you should follow to ensure proper healing. The first 24 to 48 hours are crucial, as this is when blood clots form to protect the wound. It’s important not to dislodge these clots, so avoid spitting, using straws, or smoking during this period.
Keeping the area clean is also essential. Gently rinse your mouth with warm salt water a few times a day to promote healing and reduce the risk of infection. You’ll likely experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort during the first few days, but these symptoms should gradually improve. By following these post-operative care tips, you can minimize complications and ensure a smooth recovery process.
Dietary Guidelines After Wisdom Teeth Extraction
After wisdom teeth extraction, your diet will play a significant role in your recovery. For the first few days, stick to soft, easy-to-eat foods that won’t irritate the surgical site. Ideal choices include yogurt, smoothies, mashed potatoes, and soups (as long as they’re not too hot). Gradually introduce more solid foods as your comfort level increases, but be mindful of avoiding crunchy, hard, or sticky foods that could disrupt the healing process.
Hydration is equally important, but steer clear of carbonated drinks, hot beverages, and anything that requires sucking through a straw. These actions can dislodge blood clots and lead to a painful condition known as dry socket. By carefully monitoring your diet and fluid intake, you’ll promote faster healing and reduce the risk of complications.
Pain Management and Healing Strategies
Pain and discomfort are normal after wisdom teeth extraction, but there are several strategies you can employ to manage it effectively. Over-the-counter pain medications, such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen, can help reduce swelling and discomfort. Your dentist may also prescribe stronger painkillers if necessary, but make sure to follow their instructions closely.
Cold packs are also a great tool for reducing swelling. Apply an ice pack to the outside of your cheek for 20 minutes at a time during the first 24 hours. Afterward, you can switch to warm compresses to promote circulation and reduce bruising. These pain management and healing strategies will not only make you more comfortable but also speed up the recovery process.
Tumblr media
How Long Does It Take to Recover?
The recovery timeline after wisdom teeth extraction varies from person to person, but most people are back to their normal routine within a week. The first few days are the most uncomfortable, but by day four or five, you should notice a significant improvement. Swelling and bruising will gradually subside, and your energy levels will return.
While you may feel better after a week, it’s important to follow your dentist's advice regarding physical activity and dietary restrictions for at least two weeks. Overexerting yourself or eating the wrong foods too soon can delay healing and lead to complications. By following the recommended recovery guidelines, you’ll be back to full strength in no time.
Potential Complications and How to Avoid Them
Though wisdom teeth removal is a common and generally safe procedure, there are potential complications to be aware of. One of the most common issues is dry socket, which occurs when the blood clot dislodges from the extraction site. This can lead to intense pain and slow the healing process. To avoid dry socket, be careful not to rinse your mouth too vigorously or use straws in the days following the procedure.
Infection is another risk, though it’s rare. Symptoms of infection include fever, severe pain, and swelling that doesn’t improve. If you notice any of these signs, contact your dentist immediately. By following your dentist’s post-operative instructions and being vigilant for any unusual symptoms, you can minimize the risk of complications and ensure a smooth recovery.
Tumblr media
The Importance of Following Up
Following up with your dentist after wisdom teeth extraction is a crucial step in the healing process. Even if you feel fine, a post-operative check-up allows your dentist to ensure that everything is healing properly and that no complications have arisen. They can also remove any stitches if needed and give you the green light to return to your normal activities.
Skipping follow-up appointments may result in overlooked issues, such as infections or improperly healed extraction sites. Stay proactive about your oral health by attending any recommended follow-up visits to ensure a successful recovery.
Wisdom Teeth Removal Myths Debunked
There are many misconceptions surrounding wisdom teeth extraction, and it's important to separate fact from fiction. One common myth is that everyone needs to have their wisdom teeth removed, but this isn't always the case. If your wisdom teeth are properly aligned and aren’t causing any problems, you may not need an extraction.
Another myth is that wisdom teeth removal is extremely painful. While there is some discomfort during recovery, modern techniques and anesthesia options make the procedure itself relatively painless. Understanding the truth about wisdom teeth extraction can help alleviate your concerns and ensure that you’re well-prepared for the process.
The Role of Technology in Wisdom Teeth Extraction
Advancements in dental technology have made wisdom teeth extraction safer, faster, and more comfortable than ever before. Digital X-rays and 3D imaging allow dentists to accurately assess the position of your wisdom teeth and plan the extraction with precision. This reduces the risk of complications and minimizes the time spent in the dental chair.
In some cases, laser technology can be used to assist with the extraction process. Lasers can make the procedure less invasive, leading to quicker recovery times and reduced post-operative pain. By choosing a dentist who utilizes modern technology, you can benefit from a smoother and more efficient wisdom teeth removal experience.
