Getting 4 wisdom teeth removed tomorrow under general anaesthetic.

I’m kinda nervous cause I’ve never been put under before, anyone got any insight for what to expect?

>>76374799 (OP)
Pace yourself with the drugs. Dont pop more than what you need becaude you will definitely need to stretch out the few they give you over a few days.

Have a friend your size or bigger than you with you.

Buy a lot of protein shakes, pudding, protein yogurt. You wont want to go out immediately after so buy them beforehand.

Dont smoke or vape. If you do vape, let a lot of air into your mouth as you inhale.

If possible, ask the doctor if they could extract your blood to put a bigger clot into your gums.

Your face will bloat. Thats okay.

>>76374799 (OP)
Regarding getting put under, they just stick the needle in your arm, stick the thing in your nose and after a minute you wake up barely conscious with a nurse telling you not to talk as you continue to talk and you feel so comfy from the drugs youre on

>>76374818
Aka you skip forward to after the surgery. You wont remember anything other than the device being in your nose.

>>76374823
It’s so hard to comprehend how that will be since I’ve never experienced it but at least it’ll be over quick

>>76374799 (OP)
Your subconcious mind will crack open and everything will be relentlessly blurted out of your mouth and you will not remember it. I urge caution.

>>76374859
Yeah. Itll be fun actually.

What will suck is the pain after you run out of opioids. I was lucky enough to get 8 doses but that wasnt enough.

>>76374799 (OP)
you get a time jump nothing more dw

From the procedure:
>Mild pain, maybe, but it'll be over relatively quick

From the recovery
>Bleeding from your mouth for 4-5 days maybe
>General body weakness
>You'll have to consume food in liquid form so prepare supplies accordingly: soups, yogurt, protein shakes, fruit, etc. Have a blender at hand
>Won't be able to speak well or at all for a couple of days
>Inflammation, so follow drug prescriptions
>Take the antibiotics they'll prescribe per their instructions

That's it. It sucks but it's a relief to get over it

>>76374897
>From the procedure:
>>Mild pain, maybe, but it'll be over relatively quick
Disregard this, I had it done with local anesthetics

>>76374799 (OP)
I got put under for a colonoscopy. What I remember was the nurse telling me to breathe normally after he affixed the nose tube, and then I had the feeling of waking up from the most refreshing sleep ever, and I asked how long it was going to take, and somebody told me it was already over. The whole thing seemed to take less time than it took to read this post.

Try mewing instead. Mine came out after about a year.

I moved to a second world country and had to get my wisdom teeth removed and thought I'd be knocked out and then given drugs when I wake up. Nope. They put a needle in my gums and then took a hammer, chisel, drill, pliers, and everything else on the torture rack to my mouth and then I went to work the next day. It wasn't even that bad. My face wasn't swollen either. I swear to God it's like nothing I've heard of is ever real.

>>76374912
You got raped while under anesthesia and are bragging about it on 4chan. Never change 4chan haha

>>76375083
Is it rape if he doesn't have the ability to not consent? I should be a lawyer.

They swab you with some shit to numb the area
Then they inject you with shit to really numb the area
Then they pull the fuckers out
You might see the dentist bicep vein flexing as he twists your head to yank them out
They might have to break the tooth to take pieces
When it's all over don't suck on the wounds because they will just keep bleeding if you do that

>>76375088
how many women have you roofied

>>76374811
Back around 2010 or thereabouts, when I got my wizzies removed, they sent me home with like 30 doses of oxycodone. Holy fuckin shit I got addicted right away. If i remember correctly, they were 5mg. I was taking one or two and just laying in bed watching Archer and sinking into euphoria. My mom was a fucking brilliant strategist and flushed them all down the toilet after a couple days of this. I was pissed but man it probably saved my life. She was volunteering for the EMT guys at the time and mad kids in town were overdosing on opiates. Anyways I felt obliged to share.

OP the surgery isnt that bad, I wasnt even put under for it. They just gave me laughing gas and went to town. I was in heaven. If you're getting anesthesia you're just gonna wake up with a sore mouth. Worst part is not being able to eat real food for awhile.

Had 4 removed under semi general in the dentists chair after they had been infected.
All i remember is the drugs going in, then the dentist removing the brace from my mouth.
Recovery was fine, was insanely thirsty, but told to only sip for a day or two so the clots wouldn't dislodge.
Pain was actually less than while they'd been infected, only took the drugs as a curiosity, threw the rest.
Breath stank to hell after thanks to the infection.
9/10 - better than the infection, would recommend

OP here

Appreciate the replies

I'm pretty much at peace with what recovery will be like in terms of pain and not being able to eat properly

My biggest anxiety is the actual general anesthetic cause i just can't get my head around the experience of skipping time so suddenly (unless its similar to blacking out drinking)

So i guess it's more of a mental game about the unknown

Either way all these responses have been helpful, I picked a good surgeon and am spending a lot of money to get it done i know I'll be fine , just hating the anticipation

>>76375288
You really have nothing to fear, its hilariously easy getting gen anesthesia. You just count down from 10 and then wake up with it done. Its an absolute miracle of medicine. You wake up feeling quite well rested, too. If you were like, getting some huge invasive surgery, yeah, that'd be scary, but they're just takin some teeth out. You'll be fine bruv.

>>76374799 (OP)
I had one of my wisdom teeth removed a couple of months ago, I was scared shitless. It actually wasn't that bad (local anesthesia btw) and the recovery was a-ok even though I couldn't open my mouth for 2 days. The one thing that I still remember vividly was the drill's noise but you'll be sleeping so it's all good.

>>76375288
Its just like taking a nap. You wake up not remembering the precise moment you passed out. Its just like they press the nap button in your brain. Kinda freaky to think about, but in the moment it feels like literally nothing.

>>76375298
>>76375306

Dis da kinda shit I like to hear, thanks fellas

I got 2 wisdom teeth out. They didn't put me under or give me any painkillers after. I don't think they even gave me any nitrous. Just local anesthesia. Felt crazy when they were yanking and twisting them out my jaw. I wouldn't wanna be put under. Who knows what they'll do to you. I know a girl who's dad was a dentist that went to prison for molesting his patients while they were passed out. It's quite common.

If you're not suffering from any pain don't have them removed as that shrinks your jaw/maxilla

>>76374799 (OP)
>general anaesthetic.
pussy nigga. get local.
It literally takes 5 minutes per tooth and you dont feel anything.
I waited longer for the syringe to start working than it was to get the teeth out
>4 teeth at the same procedure
also mad retarded

>>76375427
They didn’t give me the option, all impacted under bone and was told required major life threatening surgery that they normally wouldn’t do but cause I’m so tough they said maybe I can handle it , so that’s the position I’m in either do the surgery or die of infection in the next 5 years

>>76375496
>impacted under bone
Is your dentist indian? I'd reschedule and get a second opinion in the meantime if I was you.

Everyone reacts different to anesthesia but you might be one of the unlucky few you reacts different to it. If you have some form of schizophrenia or neurodivergence then it might actual end up being literally hell for you like myself. Some people under anesthesia don’t go into a sleep or coma but rather there consciousness is awake but they can’t move there body and feel all the pain but you simply can’t scream see anything but just feel like you are hovering above your own body while everything hurts. If you ever had sleep paralysis then it’s like that but just with the pain on top of it. Then when you wake up it’s like a bad dream where you kinda remember it but it’s blurry and then slowly forget it.

But don’t be scared anon it’s very very rare so I’m 100% sure you are gonna be just fine.

>>76375633
Some people simply just DIE when given general anesthesia as well. It's always a risk and no way to predict it. That's why you have sign a waiver before they give it to you. No way I'd take that shit to get a tooth pulled.

>>76374811
what are you a girl?
I had 4 wisdom teeth removed under gen. anaesthetic in one sitting
never did any of that kiddie shit
are you by any chance gay?

>>76375645
Literally not even wrong. If you are one of the people on the planet that has a souls and not just an NPC I’d probably just take local anesthesia. You literally die if you go into full anesthesia and start astral projecting. If you don’t know wtf is going on you might get lost in the ethereal real and not find you way back to your body and some other entity take over you body or it simply doesn’t have a soul anymore. You wake up still feeling alive but kinda lobotomized or as if you a missing something part of you. You don’t have the same inner voice and everything feels hazy like a dream and you have brainfog for the rest of your life.

People will just call me a schizo but they are all NPCs and don’t have a soul so they just feel like falling asleep and waking up again.

>>76375288
>My biggest anxiety is the actual general anesthetic
Is it a requirement to be under anesthesia? I had two removed a few years ago and they just used localized anesthesia, so I just say there for an hour while they drilled to break up the teeth and pulled them out. I did'nt feel any hint of pain only mild discomfort from the drill vibrations and the spit hoover.

>>76374799 (OP)
>what to expect
I remember it as a fun experience, was a teenager at the time. You feel zero pain, but you do feel the pressure of everything, like the doctor putting his whole body weight on one tooth. You're too high to care about any of it though.

>>76375288
>>76375684
>i just can't get my head around the experience of skipping time so suddenly
Wait hold up I didn't read that part, I did it with local anesthesia.

>>76375667
Nah mine are set in a way that poses a risk to the closest nerves and surgery was their only recommendation, also all 4 would take 30 mins under GA cause I’m under they can work faster and be more precise so according to them it made sense

>>76374799 (OP)
>4 wisdom teeth removed
Serious question: is it necessary? I mean,..four?

>>76374811
>Dont pop more than what you need
Are you allowed to do this in Murricah? It's the dental surgeon who estimates, takes measures and applies it to you. WTF?

>>76375786
Well i for sure need the bottom 2 out they are the real issues, my top 2 are completely through but he said they are cutting into my cheeks when I bite and I haven’t noticed it cause it’s happened slowly over time but will cause issues as years go on.

I wasn’t a huge fan of the all 4 idea but after he explained it getting all done meant 1 recovery and one expense and zero risk of dental issues in the future.

Aside from my wisdom teeth my oral hygiene is top tier according to them

>>76374799 (OP)
Do what I did and ask to be awake.
All 4 extracted under local, no general required.
You don't want to know how they treat you when you're passed out in that chair.

>>76375805
I’m not going to a dental practise for this, I’m being admitted in a hospital.

Not sure where you’re from but I’m in Aus and they can only use general in proper surgery facilities, it’s too late to change things now anyway it’s all in motion - my main concern was just the feeling of being put under.

I have zero concern for my well being or the efficacy of the procedure I did more than enough research to know I’m in very good hands

>>76375803
If you're going ahead with general have a friend or family member sit in as a support, at the least.

Also, if the dentist is indian or yiddish, cancel asap.

>>76375824
I'm in Aus too - they did it at a dentist.
Only one was infected but suggested extracting all of them. I somewhat regret doing it, there's a reason we have those teeth.
Any time I could feel the drill I asked them to stop they just injected more local. After a half dozen extra top ups they refused any more but it was sufficient.
I much prefer to be awake & aware, chat with them and tell a joke or two, and the assistants are usually hot.
Signed up for private health cover a week prior, made my claim and paid a tiny gap and ditched the health cover within the month (insurers dont let you do this anymore).
If its a hospital just say you tested positive for covid, and you will be clear. That is, if you wish to back out in the 11th hour.
You will be fine if you go ahead, just have someone there with you.

>>76374799 (OP)
Just gonna hurt like hell afterwards. I had a fever too after removing 3, but it was also under local anaesthetic. Part of me regrets it because they sat pretty well and it was more because of possible infection risk. Guy really had to get in there with force and break em hard.

>>76376125
Did you get stitched up afterward ? Or did they just let it clot ?

>>76376148
Generally speaking if they have to remove sections of gum they will stitch it up. Had mine done earlier this year because my gums grew over sections of my bottom wisdom teeth, and I ended up getting all 4 out on the same day. Hurt like a bitch, and couldn't eat solid food for 4 days

>>76376148
stitched up
Though I'm not sure if they were all the same
on one of them the stitches might have had small issues which they fixed afterwards but it was long ago so I don't really remember. At least now I'm fine.
I think.

>>76374799 (OP)
Had mine out last year, whatever the new anesthetic they use is great, i went night night before they started and woke up as they were just finishing.didnt have any goofy ass high, i could walk and probavly even have driven myself home within 20 mins of getting out of the chair. Mininal pain afterwards, sfill have some oxy i didnt bother taking

Don't get them removed

Had them out at fifteen 20 years ago. Went under general anesthesia. I remember getting horrific headaches/migraines for weeks afterwards. Not sure if it was the anesthetic or something nerve related. Didn't get an infection or dry socket, fortunately. Rinse with the saltwater like they tell you.
I wonder if i even needed to have them removed: the oral surgeon was conveniently my dentists husband, and my dumbass parents never ask for second opinions.

>>76374799 (OP)
>Getting 4 wisdom teeth removed
Heh, jawlets, when will they learn. Should've eaten more hard foods as a kid.

>>76374799 (OP)
Mine stopped coming out this far, no way I'd pay to have hamtaro's cheeks for a week

there's a reason why the body grows it

>>76376561
Don't the nerves in our everything run to the brain?

>>76374869
Its legal in mexico because they arent a bunch of inbreds who think they know better

>>76374869
And for a little girl maybe 5mgs will relieve pain you legit need 20mg of oxy no tolerance to relieve anything like a broken bone, just give them fucking pills you little shit maybe just getting bpm and blood pressure to sightly elevaed 247 is worse than any drug for you.

>>76376561
>implying you can survive without a root canal
yea good luck with that, you would literally kys without a root canal

Are all americans fucking pussies? Who the fuck need anesthesia for a tooth remowal and who the fuck need painkilled for a tooth remowal? Ameracans seem to be all faggots who can't deal with a tony bit of pain.
You just get alfreezing shots in your jaw and get them extracted. Rest for a few days and get back to a jormal life. I had a horizontal impaction and frezing doesn't work for me. Still, it was nothing. Just a little bit of pain for a few days.

>>76374799 (OP)
if a woman is getting them out, or an old faggot then tell them no, because they won't have enough arm strength so they'll just wiggle it out and it will be extreme pain even through anesthesia

>>76376977
What backwards shithole are you from where people can't even read? Op is Australian.

>>76376977
>doesn't need anesthesia for serious dental procedures
if anyone is getting scammed, its you anon. Imagine paying money just for someone to pretend to do something and tell you that you didnt need pain killers, lmao

>>76376408
this is the person who posts in dental threads about how they've never been to the dentist and they have a mouth full of perfect teeth

>>76376561
>>76376301
what is it with schizos and dentists/wisdom teeth

>>76377447
you sound gay, I wouldn't concern myself with teeth if my asshole were ruined due to abusive anal pounding

>>76374799 (OP)
I had it done in 2020. For free. I then had a double jaw surgery done in 2023. For free as well. God bless socialism.
Anyway, the worst thing about both was the tube they put in my throat. That irritated me badly, but other than that, it was a big nothingburger. But hey, that's just me, I react extremely well to everything. They even promised me opioids after the jaw surgery (extremely rare in Europe), but when they asked me about the pain afterwards, I was like "one, maybe two out of ten", so they just gave me some paracetamol, lol.

Thirteen years ago a dentist told me that my impacted wisdom teeth coming in sideways would definitely become painful and require surgery to remove.

The next time I saw a dentist was this year. They took x-rays and had no comment about anything. No pain ever came.

>>76376937
How come im alive then if i didn't get a root canal

>>76377447
>what is it with schizos and dentists/wisdom teeth
Cause the dental industry was created by Rothschild

>>76374811
>Pace yourself with the drugs. Dont pop more than what you need becaude you will definitely need to stretch out the few they give you over a few days.
My younger brother got his taken out and they wrote him a prescription for a month's worth of oxycodone, America is bat shit insane it's no wonder we have a huge drug problem in the midwest

>>76378026
Dentists never got the drug memo. It’s really the last place you can go to and get that garbage prescribed instead of getting told to take Tylenol for a week. Byproduct of dentistry not being wrapped up in normal medical care I guess
>>76377748
Mine was also free, I had insurance. Also did you know if you make too much money national healthcare won’t cover you? Now show me average wage in euro land vs USA and remind me why I’m proud to be free

i'm also getting mine out in a few weeks. how soon will i be able to lift after?

>>76374799 (OP)
why under general? i did mine under local. as long as i dont feel anything i dont give a fuck.
its gonna suck for a few days. thats all. dont smoke or do anything strenuous as that could cause bleeding at the wound.

>>76374799 (OP)
>giving away free dental gold
They sell these for lots of money by tricking you it's necessary to have them removed

>>76375083
>You got raped while under anesthesia
They also cut out a little bit of cancer while they were running a gay train on me, so it was a fair trade. It's not gay if you don't remember it.

>>76374799 (OP)
Why are you going under general anaesthetic for teeth removal...

>>76374859
It's like there's zero lapse in consciousness. You don't experience falling asleep and waking up - you just go from point A to point B. If you're like me (my internal monologue runs 24/7 no stopping) it will be like there's not even a break in your thoughts. You won't really feel panicky or anything because them drugs make ya feel alright.

Mine was local anesthesia, the dentist (female) took 30 freaking mins to get 2 teeth out, one of em I guess she didn't have enough strength to pull it out normally so she was literally picking up piece by piece that were left behind the gum and I was awake thru all of it

>>76374799 (OP)
dont do it anon, its a jewish communist bug person conspiracy to fuck your teeth up for life so that they can make more money off you. just think about it for more than a few seconds. why did millions of years of evolution produce people with wisdom teeth? because it was a bad idea? dont trust these assholes. only get your wisdom teeth removed if they cause an actual problem. all the things that could happen are super fucking rare. you will regret it.

OP back again

I had the procedure without any issues

They wheeled me in and put me on the table, within 30 seconds the anaesthetist hooked me up to the IV and I was getting midazolam

I felt a very small rush as in “oh shit it’s beginning” which was followed very quickly by a wave of relaxation and I was like “Fuuuck, this is crazy. Oh sorry for swearing”

A few seconds later I was like “is this the same as heroin?” And then they were like it’s the same family

They didn’t even put the mask over me and next thing I knew I was dreaming and waking up in recovery. Apparently I was talking a bit before they actually put me to proper sleep but I have no recollection.

Pain is minimal and my face is still a bit numb but overall I’m really pleased with how it’s playing out.

Cheers again to those who gave their experience.

And for people who keep asking even though it’s been answered in the thread - surgery under GA was my only option given the position of the teeth and how close to nerves they were, the surgeon could work more precisely and quicker

And no I couldn’t just wait for a year while I trialed mewing or eating chewier foods (which I already do) these bad boys were sideways and stopped moving a long time ago and were just becoming an infection risk, which one already had an infection

>>76377748
>Anyway, the worst thing about both was the tube they put in my throat.
Correction. The worst thing about both was that I didn't expect a UC for the jaw surgery so I didn't shave my private parts, and my already small penis looked even smaller, especially when a cute nurse was removing the tube, haha.
>>76379791
Glad it went well for you. Are you staying overnight or did they send you home?

>>76380067
Thanks mate! So far no complaints - but it was just a day surgery practise so after I woke up I was out of there within 30 mins. I was still a bit loopy and I joked I could drive home to the nurse and she didn’t not think it was funny at all

>>76374799 (OP)
Shoulda ate hard foods as a kid huh? Tough steak and a bit of mewing and you wouldn't have this
