Root Canal, Wisdom Teeth Removal, and Radioactive Iodine Treatment
 

This summarizes my Christmas break schedule :P. Had the root canal today, in less than a week I have all 4 wisdom teeth removed, and then soon after I get radioactive iodine treatment. I've been relatively inactive due to finals and getting back home.

How're you all?

How was the root canal? I'm going to be getting one in a few weeks myself....

I just had a root canal done.. fun stuff!

Hook me up with some vicodin, post-wisdom teeth removal?

The root canal was not bad at all, honestly. Took a little under 2 hours for the entire procedure and the temporary shit they stuff on my tooth (they couldn't pour one because it was bleeding quite a bit.) I really would not be nervous about it at all if I were to get another one. Aside from the initial needle in the gums, there's very little pain, and even that is just a pinch. The worst part is leaving your mouth open for so long and having a mouth that's so dry. I'm already on tabs, Spector, but no can do :P. Well, I'm not taking them anymore.

Oh yea Thanatos, and I wasn't sore at all later that day (as long as I didn't bite down on the tooth). Mine was even a bit more than a root canal. He cut on my wisdom tooth too to make it easier for removal.

How did I come up in this?

I think he meant to say Titus, not Thanatos.

Yea, my bad. I just saw the "T" and ran with it I guess :p. How'd yours go, Titus?

Not for a little while longer. Mid-January.

What i the iodine treatment for O_o.

I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth pulled at once. They knocked me out with some sort of IV drug. I remember counting backwards from 10 to about 8 then waking up. I originally didn't feel any pain at all and thought "SHit this is it?". A couple hours later is when I noticed that they had LOADED my jaw up with novacane and that I couldn't feel ANYTHING there and had been drooling on myself unconciously for the past few hours.

Then the hurt started.

The iodine treatment is for a malfunctioning thyroid. I just went in today for a temporary crown. They had to deaden me up again. I'm going to be on a valium, steroids, and a couple other drugs to premedicate for the wisdom teeth.

I'm getting all 4 wisdom teeth out in 2 weeks....in 1 day. They're not even putting me under! ughhhhh

I'm getting all mine out on the 5th.

tell me how it is lol

Your face grows to the size of a melon, and all you can eat is yogurt =P

My orthodontist has told me that there's a chance I won't need my wisdom teeth removed; both my sisters have had theirs taken out.

I blended a cheeseburger with yogurt and ate it after my teeth got pulled. It was more to gross out my parents but it wasn't ALL that bad. Better then the blood. BLECH.

I should probably get my wisdom teeth taken out because they grew in at an odd angle, but they really don't bother me.
