[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did this at 35, novocaine only, and got all 4 wisdom teeth out. I was breastfeeding a newborn, so didn’t want anesthesia or opioids. I only took Tylenol and Advil after (there is a protocol for stacking them that is as proven to be effective for dental pain as opioids). The actual removal was fine, [b]I didn’t feel anything but definitely heard some awful crunching sounds[/b]. Afterward, I felt a ton of inflammation in my gums - it was surprisingly uncomfortable. If I’d been working, I would have had to take a week off to recover. It’s not a sharp pain like a toothache, more like a dull ache like a sunburn, and I couldn’t eat for days. I couldn’t really do much other than lie down and watch TV, and nurse the baby. [/quote] This!! The crunching sound was the worst part. I had 2 removed under local. I'm 51. I was fine in a matter of hours once the bleeding stopped. I didn't have to take any of the pain meds they prescribed-just Ibuprofen. I was able to eat a soft bagel for dinner that night. I only had one side done so was able to chew on the other side. Ate normally the next day although again on the other side. It was probably about 4-5 days before I could fully chew hard things again on the removed side. I had no issues healing and went to the gym as usual the next day. [/quote]
