So today I had my wisdom teeth extracted, all 4. The previous week I decided to have it done local. Which basically means, they just numb me and do it instead of knocking me out. It started out pretty fine, just the initial sting of the needle as the numbed me which was to be expected. After 5 mins both top teeth were out and on to the bottom he went. He explained what he was doing as he did it, " first im going to cut your gum and then use a drill to cut the tooth in half, than pull each piece out." but hell, I was numb so Im like this cant be to bad? Mistake, the left bottom tooth came out pretty easy, just quite a bit of pressure on the jaw. And being a little scary with a drill buzzing loudly. And than off to the bottom right. After he cut the came he pulled what seams to be some pliers and tried pulling, without success, on came the drill. As he started drilling I felt what was most likely the worst pain I have ever felt in my life. So after I screamed and jerked up, he was dumbfounded about it.. go figure. So numbing it some more he started drilling even more. this time the pain was even worse.. The doc than told me that to get it out, he was just going to have to make one last drill and asked if I could hang on tight for him, and he tried numbing some more. He finished the last drill and I could feel the tears all over the towel that was over my face, that intense. So he pulled out the last bit which felt like a hammer to the jaw and it was done. So now im hyped up on good pain killers, and have a pretty gruesome story for the future I guess.
Anyone else have some like stories during this kind of surgery, or any other kind.
