I agree 3rdgen...I hate the dentist. Everything either hurts or makes you gag. There is no happy medium. Apparently, there is a very high suicide rate among dentists per capita. I think it is because they spend all day causing pain and discomfort.

 

when you guy got your teeth pulled did the tooth next to the one pulled feel like it was loose? kinda like when your a kid and you are about to loose a tooth.. I only had my bottom pulled because that is all i had and my teeth feel kinda loose

 

I'm supposed to have mine cut out in a few weeks. I'm already anxious, especially after reading this thread. I HATE the dentist!

 

I had my wisdom teeth cut out along with having my bi-cuspids pulled prior to getting braces, 8 teeth total. mind you, this was the tuesday before thanksgiving as well. they put me on oxygen and then used an IV and they said it was gonna burn a little then I would be out, well, i felt a burn and then I was out. woke up for like 10 seconds in the wheelchair, then was nautious as hell the rest of the day. if i tried to stand i got dizzy and sick. then once my face unswelled i got the pleasure of getting my braces on (i already had brackets when my teeth were pulled, but no wires yet).

as for the stitches, mine were disolvable, after a few days they went away....but i had dry sockets for like 6-9 months, and little flaps of skin around them.

 

Guys don't be so hard on the dentist... it's for your own good!!
