No problem. Sounds like you might need a week of antibiotics though. Make the appointment, get knocked out and you will be looking back to normal within a week. My advice, make an appointment NOW, so you lose the pain and can focus on the wedding afterwards.
Ouch. I hate going to the dentist too! I go regularly and always end up with at least one cavity...bad genetics I guess. If you're in pain (and it sounds like you are), then you might want to go. I hope everything works out for the best.
When I had my wisdom teeth taken out, I was in some pain for a few days but nothing that painkillers couldn't do. Though a trip to the dentist isn't a visit to a theme park, I say do it now so you can enjoy the wedding pain-free!
Oooh, sorry to hear that your wisdom teeth are bothering you. I had all 4 of mine removed, and while it isn't pleasant, after 2 or so days of discomfort, you'll be better. I'd recommend getting them out before your wedding so you have one less thing to worry about. Good luck!
Aw, sorry you hate the dentist... I think to avoid complications you should get it done before the wedding. I had all my 4 wisdom teeth taken out at the same time in 45mins.
After 3 days... I was back to normal. Ask your dentist what he/she thinks
I HATE the dentist too...but you'll feel better whe you go :)
Good luck!
::::HUGS!!:::
Yikes, that sounds super painful. For sure go see the dentist and see what they have to say. I think you should take care of it before the wedding, though, because you don't want it to go away but then flare up again right around the wedding.
i would get it done ASAP. it is a simple procedure and they knock you out. you'll be as good as new within a few days.
I also had wisdom teeth stuff come up last week - I was having pain about 3 months ago and had x-rays taken. The pain went away a bit later. Last week (!), 4 weeks before the wedding, they called to say that I had impacted wisdom teeth that needed to come out. I saw the oral surgeon and he said that most wisdom teeth pain was from infection, not from the teeth "pushing" out, and that if I had more pain before the wedding, I could get on antibiotics, as it was too close to the wedding to make an appointment, get in recovery time, and be back to normal. You should definitely see someone, but you may be able to take antibiotics and postpone the surgery.
get them done NOW. You'll be fine by September
If you let them grow in a little more all "no big deal" like my parents did with me, they'll ruin your orthodontic work. wisdom teeth grow in sideways. 7 years of braces and i have crowded lower teeth. Get them out!
Yikes! I hate the dentist too. I always have to sit on my hands so I don't slap them away from my mouth! I would also recommend having your WT out before your wedding. There's still enough time left, that if you end up swelling like some people do, that should all be gone by the time your day arrives!
Go NOW! When FI had to have his out (about a month ago), they had become impacted/infected, so he had to go on antibiotics for a week before he could have his sugery, and it took him two weeks before he was back to regular food. So get it out of the way, asap- it can turn bad quickly if you don't- we thought FI would be fine until the end of summer, but it seemed like in less than two days he developed a really painful infection :( He's perfectly fine now though!
i'm sorry about all of that :(
I had braces in 2nd grade. awful.
I just recently went to the orthodontist and they told me that I need braces AGAIN!!! I'm 23!!! I told them that it would have to wait until after the wedding!!
I agree-go now! I had mine taken out 6 or 7 years ago. Mine were impacted so I elected to be put to sleep while they did it. My body didn't take well to the anesthesia and the Vicodin (I was sleepy & groggy for 2/3 days) but within a week I felt better and within 2 weeks my face wasn't puffy and bruised anymore. Good luck!
Definitely go now. If your dentist said that your wisdom teeth would not have any room to come in, that means if they did, they'll most definitely be impacted (coming in sideways). You have plenty of time if you go now. The oral surgeon will knock you out, you're on antibiotics for a week, and you have plenty of time to recover from the swelling and bruising (if it's a particularly difficult tooth). My two top wisdom teeth were so high up that they were in my sinuses. They had to come out because they were about to collide with the roots of my molars. I had light bruising and a lot of swelling, but it was fine after a few weeks.
The longer you wait, there is a chance that the pain will get worse and possibly become infected. And it may ruin all that orthodontic work your family spent good money for.
Good luck!
I think you should definitely go now before your wedding. Especially since you are experiencing some discomfort. You don't want to be in pain on your wedding day! If you get your wisdom teeth pulled it'll only be a few days of recovery and then just some careful, straw-free eating and drinking until you're all healed. I was only out of work for 2 days after miine and most of that time was spent sleeping and eating Wendy's Frosties :)
I agree with the previous posters -- go ahead and get it done now! Tell the dentist you have a wedding coming up and see if they can get you in ASAP. I hate the dentist as well and was SUPER nervous when I had my wisdom teeth taken out six years ago. They gave me a little laughing gas to calm me down while the real drugs took effect. Next thing I knew, I was waking up with gauze in my mouth.
They took all four teeth (including two that were impacted/sideways) in under an hour. I didn't need anything stronger than tylenol and I felt well enough to eat a fairly large meal (beef stew and a grilled cheese) that evening. Just get it done and you'll be healed up and pain free far before your wedding rolls around!
I'd want to get that taken care of before the wedding. No one likes going to the dentist, so I'm sorry you're dealing with this so close to the wedding.
FWIW, I had my wisdom teeth out, all 4 (impacted) and I didn't think it was bad at all. The procedure was done quickly and my oral surgeon just used shots (because I didn't want the "laughing gas"). I actually wasn't in that much pain, didn't even fill the perscription they gave me for pain meds. I also went out to dinner and a movie that night, so you can tell it didn't hit me too hard. I had mine done 3 weeks before I went back to marching band and it didn't bother me playing, so you should be fine by the time your wedding comes in Sept.
I called today and i thought i could maybe get into today but i have an appointment tomorrow at 3 pm. They have to do a set up as a new patient, which i do need to go. My wisdom teeth all 4 of them came in. Yeah my top teeth are nice and straight but my bottom, i got hit in the mouth with a basket ball right after i got my braces off ( retainers werent ready yet) and my front tooth was alittle bit pushed front, now since the wisdom teeth came in it is pushed more forward. I havent been to the dentist in 5 years, i have a fear of them and i didnt have insurance for almost 2 years. I will let you ladies know how it goes. thanks
I got my wisdom teeth removed a year or two ago. I think I was 19 when I got them removed, maybe 18? I got all 4 of them removed at once which I highly recommend doing! Way less recovery time. My friend got hers pulled 2 at time and I couldn't imagine that. It wasn't horrible but it wasn't fun either haha.
I was knocked out the whole time even though I remember the nurses holding my arms down because I kept trying to reach my mouth hehe. Also, my left jaw was fractured during the surgery but I knew that might happen and was told beforehand it might because I have a small jaw to begin with and all 4 of my wisdom teeth were badly impacted into it. But I didn't have to have my jaw wired afterwards so that was good.
I would say get them removed if the dentist recommends it, it just seems to be so much less hassle afterwards, because a lot of people as they get older their teeth begin to move and can even get crowded and crooked due to their wisdom teeth.

AHH ok i was told that my wisdom would not have any room to come in and well they did and i didnt have any problems but now i feel like there is more teeth trying to come in and i am getting a sore throat and my face hurts and ears hurt sometimes. I am going to call the dentist tomorrow to see if i can get in because they are really starting to bother me. I havent been to the dentist in probably 5 years ( i know im bad) I Have always hated going to the dentist. I had oral surgery when i was 10 to put 14 K gold chains in my gums for my teeth to come up straight, then had to have elastic sewn threw them on top of that braces for 5 years. Im wondering if i should have them done before the wedding. I am getting married on September 13th. I hate going to the dentist.
