When I had mine removed, the doctor prescribed a pill. I went to the pharmacy, and they filled my prescription -- 1 pill. I took it 10 minutes before I got to his office, and when we got there, I couldn't make it up the three steps to the front door. I had to crawl inside. After that, I remember nothing.

However, my wisdom teeth were very deep inside my gums. They were only removed because I was getting braces a few months after that, and there would have been complications if they weren't removed. Anyhow, I didn't eat anything for three days.

I was numb for 31 hours after the surgery. Because of this, I couldn't take my pain killers. I would put the pill on my tongue and pour water on it with no success. Finally, around 5 p.m. the next following day, I could actually move my tongue enough to swallow the little pill. I never experienced pain unless I tried to open my mouth. Three days after surgery, I had some jello. I had more jello that night.

I remember like... two days after that, I was at school, and they were serving the good pizza. I firmly believe that it was Red Baron single serving deep dish, and it was the best. I knew I couldn't eat it, but I got one anyhow. I took a bite of it, my mouth told my brain, "BAD!" and I started bleeding again. *sigh*

My advice to people having their wisdom teeth removed:
Wait till you can see them. Don't have them taken out with half an inch of gum on top. You will regret it.

What is it they say about silence being golden?
