Having just been to my dentist for upper right 4 extracting I can honestly say .... ARGH! THAT HURTS! I dont mind the time it's being pulled out. I don't even mind the pain afterwards. It's the F... err ... Flippin' injections. Talk about PAIN. Even the vasectomy wasn't that bad :shock:

And anyone (DUKE for example) wishing to take the mickey please do so by PM so no one is offended by my replies :P

So, my words of wisdom for the end of June 2007 ... If you are thinking about having a tooth out DON'T.

Hehe...4 at once...ouch!

You know what's also fun. Having a quite painful root canal done taking about 70 minutes. Then going home and in the evening eating a sandwhich and breaking that very tooth, so it had to be extracted as well and a bridge put in. Stupid bridge, costs more than a car!

I feel for you Gentlemen. Two wisdom teeth are scheduled for extraction July 9. I hope the dentist gives me some "good" meds!

:lol:

Not 4 at once, number 4 top right side. Blimey, the thought of having 4 out at once makes me feel quite unwell!

Still, this wasn't as bad as the 45 minute, two dentist wisdom tooth... now THAT really was most unpleasant.

*peeks in*

Did someone mock me? :wink:

Well, I had one removed a while back and that was horrible. Women keeps nagging about giving birth but I would easily rather squeeze out a *AS A MODERATOR I AM CENSORING MYSELF* through m..*AGAIN, MODERATING* 'cos nothing could hurt that *WORD REMOVED* bad.

Did your dentist also give you a syringe and tell you to use it to spray salted water in the wound? If so...DON'T DO IT! I'm sure they heard my scream 10 miles away.

:lol:

No, thank goodness but I do know with almost 100% certainty that I will have a dental abcess withing the week. I have Anti-biotic cover (3g Amoxcillin) before hand and I STILL get infections. Bloomin' genetics.

What's wrong with you lot.

My wife had 18 teeth removed and it didn't hurt me a bit.

I had all 4 wisdom teeth extracted in 1 "sitting" back about 17 years ago. They kindly put me "under" for the procedure, since 2 of them were nicely tucked under other teeth.

I had no problems, really ... got sleepy ... then woke up when they were done. The pain wasn't much fun, but ice + drugs + lying around watching ballgames on TV made things go by pretty well. I used a syringe with warm water (no salt) to care for the sites ... and that wasn't too bad.

However, the paper work I needed to fill out a couple of weeks later in regards to a drug test at work was a bit more of a pain. ;)

lol!! Great one AG!

17 years ago? I remember a time in WOK when 17 was about the average age for a member :wink:

What is that over there in the corner? Did Calidus forget his cane again? 8)

I was old back then too. Now I'm older. ;) (I think I even have a few years on Calidus. :shock: )

Thought said oldies might find this entertaining. Should be in poetry corner but there you go ... its a mixed up world.

I'm Fine Thank You.

There's nothing the matter with me
I'm as healthy as can be,
I have arthritis in my knees
And when I talk, I talk with a wheeze.
My pulse is weak and my blood is thin
But I,m awfully well for the shape I'm in

Arch supports I have for my feet,
Or I wouldn't be able to be on the street.
Sleep is denied me night after night,
But every morning I find I'm up all right
My memory is failing, my heads in a spin
But I'm awfully well for the shape I'm in

The moral of this, as my tale I unfold
That for you and for me who are growing old
It's better to say "I'm fine" with a grin
Than to let folks know the shape we are in

How do I know my youth is all spent?
Well. "my get up and go", got up and went
But I really don't mind when I think with a grin
Of all of the places my "get up" has bin

Old age is golden, I've heard it said
But sometimes I wonder as I get into bed
With my ears in the drawer, my teeth in a cup
My eyes on the table until I wake up
Ere sleep overtakes me, I say to myself
"Is there anything else I could lay on the shelf?"

When I was young my slippers were red
I could kick my heels over my head
When I got older my slippers were blue
But still I could dance the whole night through
Now I am old my slippers are black
I walk to the shops and puff my way back.

I get up each morning and dust of my wits
And pick up the paper and read the "obits"
If my name is missing I know I'm not dead
So I have a good breakfast and go back to bed

Founding fathers of the "We'll break our foot off in your [censored] organization!" :shock:

Better be nice to us, or we will beat you with our canes! (once we find where we left them....) :smash:

Back on subject:

The last tooth that I had to have removed had hurt so bad that it was nothing but relief when it was finally pulled. The dentist asked if the shot hurt. I asked him: What thot?

My wife had 7 taken out and went back to work two days later. I currently do not plan on missing any work. We shall see.....

Just an update:

I went in to the doctor's office at about 10 minutes to 3pm. By 3:03pm, I was paying the receptionst my dental co-pay of $20. Both teeth had been extracted with no problem. Absolutely faster than I could have ever asked for.

The only side effect was a little bit of a headache yesterday. The Doctor gave me some lovely vicodin pills for the pain, but I haven't needed a single one. (weekend's coming though, so you never know.....)
