Wisdom teeth
This post is more for Aaron, I guess, who's getting his wisdom teeth taken out.. Goood luck Aarie!! Well anyways, I don't know if it's too late to say this now but I had a really good oral surgeon. His name is Dr. Braverman and his office is at Oakridge.. Maybe you could make an appointment with him if it's not too late? So, anyways, for me he put both local and intravenous anaesthetics.. I was crying when I woke up. Apparently the intravenous anaesthetics can bring back sad memories, which it did. =( I was dreaming too in the middle of the procedure.. Well, it wasn't one of those typical dreams you have in your sleep but I was talking to myself in it. Weird. It didn't hurt within the first hour of waking up from the anesthetics but then it started hurting A LOT once it wore off. My wisdom teeth were growing at a weird angle and the doc. had to cut my bones off or something..>.> Unless your teeth are messed up like mine, I think you'll be fine. I highly recommend biting on some gauze for at least the first two days after the surgery (it reduces pain dramatically). More importantly, have an ice-pack ready as soon as you get out of the hospital!!! Yes, it's crucial, unless you wanna end up looking like Rumer Willis... Rinse with salt water regularly to prevent an infection.. Oh, and make sure someone is picking you up after the operation because I was feeling extremely wobbly and trippy..
