It actually depends on how impacted your teeth are and the configuration of your roots. In most cases, you will be sore for a few days, but your Dentist or Oral surgeon should give you meds for the pain. They give you specific instructions on what to eat and how to eat it, like do not use a straw because you can effect the healing process. Stick w/ soft foods, at first and you will gradually return to normal in perhaps a week. Hopefully you are not conscious for the procedure.
yes it hurts and soups
No I had all mine cut out and it didnt hurt and it healed really quick I was eating wendy's two days later...
I was awake when I had them removed, it was painless. Just hearing it was gross. I had chicken strips right after wards. It wasn't smart of me, but it didn't hurt.
You are supposed to stick to soft foods, like maybe some soup and ice cream.
eerr u werewolf o somfin lol eat bread
yeah it hurts for a few days...
mostly you just want to eat soft stuff that doesn't require much if any chewing... and you don't want anything small like sesame seeds or it can get stuck in your incision.
Good luck
doesnt hurt but mine bled for like 2 or 3 hous after ( not like gushing) and i had to have cotton balls in there while they bled. then it feels wierd because you always want to rub where your teeth used to be with your tongue
It is not that bad. Put ice packs on your jaws after you get home. Rest. The doctor will tell you what not to eat. Stay with soft food for the first couple of days.
It doesn't hurt at all. They put you under. I had all 4 of mine taken out as well. They have you on some pretty kickin' pain meds. As for food, just as when any other tooth is taken out, soft food for the next few days. You definately don't want to eat taco's or taquito's!!
i had it done ( all 4 at the same time) and it didnt really hurt they gave me enough meds to hold me over and i just ate soup for like a day maybe 2 cuz food would get stuck in the holes. but pain nah not really.
I had a friend who had her wisdom teeth taken out not too long ago,she said it helped alot to eat soft and cold food,especialy things like ice cream, and yogurt,she also did mension that it hurt quite some bit,but it depends on how you handle the pain,and also if the freez you're jaw so don't worry bout it to much.
Didn't hurt me a bit. Make sure you keep your holes clean, check them every day. Do not use a straw, makes you swell. Sleep sitting up, it reduces swelling. Relax, you'll be fine!
They give you pain killers so you don't feel anything. You are a little sore after wards, but its not unbearable or anything. After I got mine out I loved pudding, the fridge was full with every flavor available.
if they put you under of course it don't hurt. take it easy for a day or so afterwards. they tell you not to eat things like steak and gum, or anything that will irritate stitches. you'll be queasy from the anesthetic so you probably won't want to eat for several hours to a day.
Its horrible if your not put under. If you are then it will only hurt when the meds wear off, then your gums will ache.
Tea is good to drink and it keeps the swelling down. No rice or oatmeal or little stuff since it can get in the sockets.
Soup without little bits in it. Ice cream, yogurt that stuff is good.
The worst part are the numbing shots. If memory serves you'll get 4 of them, two on your upper pallet and 2 on the bottom of your mouth. They aren't pleasant, but they're over with fairly quickly. Once that's done, you wont feel a thing. I remember it sounding really gross though. You'll do fine :)
Getting your wisdom teeth taken out differs with all people, but they put you to sleep, and it seems like only a moment has passed and you're awake again. They give you pain killers to take afterwards, usually Tylenol or Ibuprophen, and they help. It's not really painful, just sore afterwards.
You can usually eat soft foods the same day, a few hours later, and you can have ice cream and milkshakes and things like that. I actually gained weight when I had my wisdom teeth taken out, cause I had so many things like I wrote above, that I usually wouldn't.
It's okay to pamper yourself and induldge once in a while though, especially when going through such a procedure. You'll be fine.
I hope this helps.
Take care.

I had mine done and it was fine. The day I had them pulled was kinda bad. The next day not so much. I stck with soups and things were really soft to eat. I felt funny biting down and missing those teeth. After 2 days I was normal.
yes it hurts bad especially if they haven't came in all the way and they have to be cut out. you can eat jello, chicken noodle soup, ice cream, things like that
You won't even feel anything... It will be sore afterwards and you can eat jello and pudding, or ice cream is good too!
the dentist will numb your mouth so no you won't feel any thing, but if you don't take the meds after then that''s when pain will come. ain't going to lie to you.. as far as eating... mainly soft served food at the moment. no bullshit!!!!
i had mine taken out one by one and i was awake, no big deal!..i ate a few hours after each one whatever i wanted but if your getting all four at once...that could hurt..stock up on soup and ask for alot of love!
You should be affraid. A nurse will sit on your chest and hold you down while a dentistry student is made to remove your wisdoms with a fork, a spoon, a string, and a 50lbs weight. You will be given 1 shot of tequilla and a bucket of ice cold water every time you look like you might pass out. Haha!
Just kiddin. In all likelihood, they will give you a relaxer (for your anxiety), which will make you completely careless. Then, they'll give you an anasthetic which will hit you so fast and so hard that you won't realize it happened until you wake up after the surgery with a mouth full of gauze and a slight hangover. Your mouth will be a bit soar but nothing you can't deal with. It really isn't that bad of an experience. Enjoy the attention you get.
Have fun, it only happens once in your life.
Here's what I'd recommend to make the process go by smoothly..take your iPod and be prepared to load at least 50-100 of the most relaxing songs with you so that you can drown out any sound of your wisdom teeth being uprooted.
Ask them if they've got any "funny gas" to calm your nerves a bit... make sure you wear the most comfortable outfit possible, and take a hoodie or a sweater incase its a little cold. These doctor's offices can get cold after a while, and the procedure takes a while. The first day, you will be sent home on a "liquid diet" but will be allowed to eat pudding, and very light foods. The pain isn't excruciating afterward, but if they ask if you want a prescription say yes anyway! Most likely they will prescribe something like Vicodin. Enjoy the vicodin while it lasts!! That's when you'll really be on cloud nine.
It'll be pretty sore once the novacaine wears off but you'll be given candy for that. You'll also be given instructions on keeping the area clean; you won't be able to hit it with a toothbrush, ya know?
No foods that crumble into hard pieces (like nuts). Preferably soft stuff. Tough meat will be a problem in that it will be painful to exert much jaw pressure.
Don't worry about it; I had mine out when I was 15 and it really wasn't that big a deal.
I'm not gonna lie, it does hurt a lot after the numbness goes away. The painkillers didn't do anything for me except make me nauseus. But they pain is only really bad the first day or two. After that it's just sore when you touch it. You could have an easier time than I did though. I have friends who were fine the next day, just kinda swolllen. Also, are your teeth still under your gums? If not, the dentist won't have to cut you open, so it might not be as bad.
When the pain was bad for me, I put ice packs on my cheeks and that helped a lot.
As for food, you probably won't be able to eat anything solid for a couple days. I ate apple sauce, yougurt, ice cream, mashed potatoes, etc.
It hurts,but not bad. Hurts less than getting braces. I ate mashed potatoes,soup and pb&j sandwiches. Ibuprofen helps alot.
I had it done under general anesthesia. You do not feel anything during the procedure. Absolutely nothing.
It does hurt for a day of two after that, but not really bad (and they'll give you a prescription for some strong pain killer.)
You can eat only soft and COLD food. No hot food for several days (it may cause bleeding.)
It's not much fun, but it's not as bad as you think. You'll be fine.
Anticipation Hurts the worst.
Get busy and stop worrying.
Yes, you will have pain but you will also have pain pills.
Do not worry about eating. Drink lots of fluids - follow up with water to rinse the sugars out of your mouth. Eat soups, yogurts, soft stuff for about a week. And rinse each time you eat.
Cold compresses on the jaws will feel good too.
You will be back to yourself in no time.
Good Luck
I had 3 of mine taken out at one time, 2 of which had to be surgically extracted. And, honestly, I don't remember a damn thing. lol They gave me some pain killers to take before my appointment, and then when I got in, I was already half-dazed and I told them to give me the gas because I did NOT wish to remember the experience at ALL. (Which I don't). The aftermath of it is a little irritating and a little sore... and you can only eat liquidized and pureed meals for a while.. but, even after you are healed enough to eat solids, be very very careful because everyone has a tendency to want to chew w/ the back teeth... and it's also a good idea to rinse your mouth out after eating, smoking, or anything else that might make your mouth dirty...
Hope all goes well. Blessed be!
No you will be fine, they will give you some good pain medacine. Get lot's of rest and eat soups or ice cream or a popsicle! Enjoy your time! You won't have to do anything for a couple of days! Good luck!
