I think I’ll need to go through another wisdom teeth surgery

My wisdom teeth never fully came out, they were stuck inside my gums cause my mouth didn’t have enough space for them.

And now that I’m fucking old they’re causing me a lot of pain, I removed two of them, and there’re two left 🫩. This was the most painful surgery , worse than giving birth omg. You have to be fully sedated cause the process is too scary and bloody since the doctor needs to cut through your gums. Then you need to avoid solid foods for like a week 😑.

Which wisdom teeth did you have removed before? Top or bottom? Or one of each?

I've had all of mine removed. Three pulled and one via surgical extraction because it was more difficult. Luckily it was no big deal for me. The recovery period is irritating but it doesn't take long really. I got one post extraction infection which was a little painful but prompt treatment took away the pain pretty quickly.

@ostfuidctyvm Upper and lower ones, from one side.
Didn’t they five you preventive antibiotics? Over here that’s standard after any surgery.

@Younameit No, it's not standard over here. You would only get antibiotics before the procedure if there was an infection. They'd want that cleared up before the extraction. After the extraction you don't get anything as standard.
