Thread: Da aftermath......

Give it 5 days or so. If you start working out, you might cause complications in the healing. Having your wisdom teeth taken out is non-trivial. You need time to heal. It's not worth taking the risk.

Everyone is different, but I found that I could eat whatever I wanted after 5 days, so it stands to reason that working out should also be okay.

Dang, I had mine extracted in the middle of the day, and was drinking beer and eating barbeque that night.

Nope. When it comes to letting my body heal, I give it plenty of time, which severely lowers the chances of complications.

I may miss out on a few days of something or other, but I have to keep my body for decades to come.

i ate barbecued chicken n went to work after having my first two done. not sure i'd have worked after the second two but more because he gave me too much novocaine than any bodily trauma. did you have surgery? i don't see what the danger is? you're not going to pull a train engine with your teeth are you?

DOMS, after some of the stuff you've been through i'm surprised dental work even makes you flinch.

It's doesn't.

After all the times I've had to heal, I've learned to give it enough time.

i've been very lucky in the having to heal dept so i'll take your word for it.

I got it stitched up. I actually felt like I got punched in the face after all the drugs were off my system, still a bit swollen in the face.....

full intensity workout? I actually had a molar taken out in the past, went to the gym after a week and started bleeding like a virgin after intercourse....none stop. I plan on letting this heal properly for 2 weeks before touching any iron, just to be safe.

You suck! I came this close to spitting Diet Coke all over a keyboard and two monitors!

I had all four of my wisdom teeth pulled at the same time. It over two hours of crushing and pulling teeth to make it happen; but I was still good to go 5 days later. I guess it depends on the skill of the dentist, maybe?

Five days for me, too. Made sure to enjoy the vicodin.

keep an eye on the stitching..and make sure they didn't leave any cotton in your mouth 7 day and u should be fine

I had it horrible. I was in bed for two weeks straight....I could not do anything

i hate the dentist but i get fillings w/o novocaine. i just want to get out of that chair so i think the adrenalin makes it numb on its own. i feel for you guys and gals.

Day 4 swelling has gone down quite a bit. people no longer call me chipmunk chico.......

Chipmunk? Is that from storing nuts in your mouth?

So if you have nutz on your chest are they chest nutz..yes
what if you have nutz on your chin are they chin nutz...NO YOU GOT A DICK IN YO MOUTH BITCH

My wisdom teeth came in straight so I didn't have to get them yanked....

I did have to get 4 molars pulled when I was 10 or 11, I was a tough kid so I don't recall the pain, but I do remember coming home wasted and watching movies all day....movies I would never usually but did watch because I was too lazy to get up and grab the remote....I think a few of those movies influenced my life....one was North Shore a surf movie that made me want to go to Hawaii when I grew up and another was Barfly made me think about being a writer....there was also this part I think it was that movie where he talks about some people never get crazy and how boring & pathetic their lives must be....Also saw Summer School for the 5th time that day and revenge of the Ninja, no it was American Ninja 2 on the island at the American Embassy....but the first 2 movies I saw while I was still pretty loaded and they stuck in my mind like lucid dreams....

Can anyone link that video of the kid all fucked up coming back from the dentist? Manic's story reminded me of it. Its funny as hell, but I cant access videos to link it at work.

smoking cigarettes aids in the healing process.
