Ouch doesn't sound good. I didn't have a lot of pain eating after getting my wisdom teeth out. I'm thinking maybe that has to do with the root canal being unfinished. Feel better!
Yeah I had mine out when I was 17 b/c they were impacted and were ruining my perfect braces used smile. My smile has deteriorated since then. I hope you feel better! I took me a good week and a half to eat normally.
If it makes you feel better, I had a cracked tooth fixed this week and the temporary crown hurts like hell! I'm sorry! I hate the dentist.
Thank God the percocet is finally kicking in, so my mood is lifting! But yeah the whole thing still feels "icky" and just off. I'm sticking to "mush" til it's all said and done.
@Mrs. DG:what does your temp. crown look like? I dunno if that's what I got going on now, but it basically looks like they just cement/pasted over 2 teeth til they could go back and finish. When I finally looked at it in the mirror I was like, "Uhm...wtf is going on in here?!" Did they give you anything? Not to be all "go take drugs" but I never had to take pain killers before and now I think they are the most amazing thing. The whole being knocked out thing for the whole process was so great, I'm considering asking my dentist if he'll deliver any future babies. (Because seriously, if I am THAT much of a wuss about going to the dentist, HOW am I ever going to bring a little one into the world?)
I think a side effect of percocet is rambling.... 
I 2nd you on the getting the wisdom teeth out early thing! By the time I had mine out, the nerve that runs along the jaw was caught on my wisdom tooth and I could not open my mouth. I was basically told I had to be sedated because they would just open my mouth for me and no amount of novacaine would ease the pain it would cause. Yikes!
The percocet did not do much for me except make me feel high and ended up getting vicoden instead. It's okay to have a pity party. Dental pain is the worst! And I've been through labor...
Woah, yeah this lady at work told me she'd rather go through childbirth again then have dental pain. Hmmm something to think about!
One other side effect of Perc. (I think) is moody-ness b/c I was being a royal Bee-yotch to my mom on the phone the other day, I felt so bad right after! Ugh!
I'm in my third year of dental school and am currently going through adult braces, so I feel your dental pain :(. The temporary should be fine as long as you don't eat anything too hard/sticky (even then, you might be OK). They use a compound called Zinc Oxide Eugenol for temps usually and it is very strong and will hold up for awhile (though ideally only two weeks). But very important note: once your dentist finishes your root canal make sure you schedule an appointment to get a crown put on that tooth if it is in the back or there is a great chance the tooth will fracture and all that you've invested in it will be in vain.
Hope I helped a little...eat apple sauce and mashed potatoes for a few days at least and try to avoid strenuous activities like running. You don't want a dry socket...those are horrible!
A dry socket is when the blood clot that forms in the empty space where the tooth used to be dissolves. This can happen if you suck through a straw, smoke, exercise strenuously, etc. in the first few days after an extraction. They are pretty painful. If you can get one, call your dentist/oral surgeon and they can do something to help the clot form again.
Dental pain is far worse than baby pain, seriously. My temporary crown is like a jenky ill fitting cap over the affected tooth. They put in the composite and then cement this stupid thing over the top. They did take impressions for the real deal which will be ready next week... but I'm worried because she said she drilled down to the root (just barely) and I may need a root canal for it. I won't be thrilled to get a root canal for a tooth that was asymptomatic!
@Mrs. DG:Well if you need it (or hell for any dental work) and if you can swing it go for sedation dentistry. I can't say enough. If there was a church of sedation dentistry I'd be the most religious person in the world.

Sorry, there are no users yet.
Ok so I had my wisdom teeth out on Wednesday, and got half-way through a root canal plus a few cavity fillings for good measure (Uhm, I brush my teeth I swear!) And I just tried to eat some "real" food and now I'm in worse pain than I have been all week! I'm scared this cement-pasty stuff they have covering my exploded tooth (apparently) is not going to hold (til they finish the root canal) and I just hurt and am in a whiney mood :( FI and my mom both live in other countries so guess what hive-ettes, I'm complaining to you!
I took a percocet a while ago but it hasn't seemed to kick in yet.
Sidenote, this week was my first experience taking percocets, they are quite lovely.
Other sidenote, I went to a sedation dentist b/c I am THAT much of a baby and it was fabulous. I would reccomend it to anyone. I don't remember ANYthing. And it was rather nice staying home from work all week. (Although when THAT paycheck comes in I'm sure I'll be regretting it.)
Ok that is all for now, just needed to have a small pity party
Ouch!
Crap ONE Last sidenote, I'm 30 (as of last week I'm still getting used to saying that!) and if your dentist tells you at oh...22 you need to get your Wisdoms out, get them out!
Ok then end I promise.
