Since it's after 12 where I'm at, it's now monday. Well, tomorrow I am getting my wisdom teeth pulled. Which means no smoking for a few days. I have most of my day filled alread, but I plan to smoke at least three bowls if I can. Not looking forward to getting them out, but it has to happen, and I;ve got a few days off work.

I got all four. The way scheduling worked out, I ended up getting 5 days off work, so unless the dentist won't let me, I'm gonna get all four out.

I am not going to have mine taken out, too expensive and they have never given me any trouble.

Wow. I remember my ex having hers pulled, she had only two and she was still out of it for a while. Just be careful of what you eat afterwords. I hear dry socket can be quite painful. ANyway, best of luck to you.

48ys old and never had dental work done, not even a filling. Did have an oral bi-opsy last yr. which wasn't pleasant but that is all.

I haven't had a pipe for one week today for the same reason (wisdom teeth removal). I hope yours goes better than mine. My bottom ones were growing horizontally under my gums so the surgeon had to pretty much mutilate my jaw to get them out. A week later and I can still barely eat solid food.
Think about that when you get yours pulled, no matter how unpleasant it is, "At least I am not that guy".

Had all four of mine taken out when I was in the USMC. Didn't have a choice, they just took them. Let's just say military dentists don't have the best "bedside manner" and those butchers did me good.
Do be careful what you eat. Rayje is right about dry socket and food will get lodged in there and that is not only painful, but the worst bad breath you will ever have.
Good luck my friend, I am sure your pipes will miss you

Sorry to hear it uber. I have yet to have mine pulled, but may do it this year. When and if the time comes, I may opt to have all four done at once too. I hope you'll let us know how recovery goes.
Good luck!

Good luck, Ben. Be very wary of the dry socket, but the removals aren't that bad. Took my doc about twenty minutes once the anesthetic set. I had very little pain thereafter. Heal quick and get back to puffing!

Luckily mine aren't sideways, but they are almost entirely through the gums. I bite the my cheeks a lot because of them. They have to go eventually, might as well get it over with.

Ben:
Make sure your oral surgeon completely covers the post-op care. In the last six months both of my twins had all of their wisdom teeth removed. Sam developed three dry sockets and was in lousy shape for two weeks plus. Our Ben had a better surgeon and was eating solids within three days and carefully chewing red meat within five.
Good luck.

Uber, you are probably post surgery, sitting at home by now, I hope all went well and the pain meds do their job. May you have a peaceful night. Good Luck.

Here is to a speedy recovery!!
Funny story when I got my wisdom teeth pulled. I was 19 and the doctor was telling me to count back to ten. I was trying to see how far I could count... 10... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
When I was coming out, I tried to ask the nurse out. She already had a boyfriend. Oh well...

I guess I don't feel too bad about my dentist appointment today now, just for a check up.
Hopefully you'll get some good pain killers. Then practice your slow smoking after you take them. Good luck and heal fast.

No smoking at all Kevin, I don't want to get a dry socket. My appointment is in 3 hours. Not looking forward to it.
