Today, I had 2 of my wisdom teeth removed. It hurts. Not too much, but it hurts enough for me to blog about it.
The procedure was quicker than I expected. On the right side of my mouth they removed the top and bottom teeth. The worst part of the entire process was the huge needle filled with anesthesia being pumped into the soft tissue. The bottom tooth came out in less than 3 minutes while the top took approximately 10 minutes because they had to find the tooth buried in the gums. I involuntarily teared, but I made it through all right.
*(Quick Tip: If you are a NY/NJ college student like me with no dental insurance, go to the NYU School of Dentistry. Capable doctors, very affordable patient care.)*
Now, I can't eat solid foods for 2 days. I'm going to live on soup. Which sucks, because I have the strongest urge to have a shawerma sandwich or a pizza. What to do!?
What sucks even more, is that I have to go through this ordeal again in two weeks for the left side of my mouth.

tb ana lahala2 ma 6ele3le my wisdom tooth .. :s
does it hurt?
Qwaider: allah salmak! thank you! :)
Maher: Your'e numb for a couple hours after the procedure. Than it hurts a little. But with Advil, you will feel a discomfort for 2-3 days. Its best to do it as soon as you can. The more your grow older, the more the roots of your teeth wil fuse to the jawbone. And you don't want that.
/me scared :S

Hey.
ahha I'm kinda freaked out now cuz I have to get 4 of my wisdom teeth out at the same time aaand they are impacted :S The only good part is they are gonna put me to sleep..
Is it a pain in the ass to have to clean out the area everytime you eat cuz I heard thats what you have to do for a couple of days
Batoul: Yes my dear... I was testing my limits that day.
Selma: The sooner, the better. Yea, it is a pain to clean in the area. I couldn't properly brush my teeth. I only used mouthwash, and brushed the unaffected areas. The tell you to inse with a salt solution 24 hours after the procedure. But its only for 2-3 days, maybe less or more depending on your situation. It feels a lot more better after the surgery, and the relief (physical and mental) is awesome. Good luck!!
