Man, I didn't have anything like this when my wisdom teeth were removed.

Apparently I actually resisted being put to sleep, but once they tried to wake me up, it was like just.. waking up. I was escourted down the hall from the room where they preformed the surgery to just a regular dentists chair by a window because they thought I was lying like this dude. After two minutes of me saying "No.. seriously, all my marbles are there" they let me walk out on my own.

I think I was more like this guy. I was 16. I remember waking up, thinking I was fine to walk, then having the nurse and my mom catch me as I fell out of the chair when they told me to stay down. The next thing I remember I'm in the car telling my mom all sorts of secrets. Then I was on the couch watching a movie with a bowl under my chin to collect the blood and spit that drooled out.

We must have gone to the same doctor, sort of like the Steve Martin character in Little Shop of Horrors.

My brother and I went in on the same day to have ours taken out. I went first, and he chickened out and never had the operation. I was so out of it that ten years went by before I found out that he never had the operation that day. The look on my face still makes him laugh.

So whats with all the general anesthetics? Did you guys have some dental issue that required it or were you just chicken. I had my wisdom teeth out under local anesthesia. It did require the dentist to stick that damn needle in about 20 times, but anythings better than coming out of a general.

"Well, you like my whole outfit!"
lol

Actually, looking back, my whole ordeal with getting my wisdom teeth out sucked, I really WISH I was like this guy.

After I woke up, my mom drove me to a grocery store/pharmacy so we could pick my drugs up (tylenol 3) and she could get groceries while we wait because it usually takes twenty mins to get the stuff ready.

I was fully aware of everything that was going on, the only difference between me then and me now was my bottom lip was frozen and highly swollen, and my freezing was wearing off.

This wouldn't have been as much of an issue if this grocery store wasn't somewhere I worked prior, and had friends constantly coming up to me to chat. I looked like a retard with my bottom lip swollen and sticking out like an inch because I couldn't close it properly, I had to tuck it under my top lip to make it look alright.

Then for a week, I had to sleep on a couch because sleeping on my bed made me roll, and rolling with swollen cheeks = bad. After 3 days of constant intense pain, we went back to the dentist who told us to get Perkisets instead because all the tylenol 3 did was knock me out, not kill any pain. 3 days after that, it turns out I had an infection in two of the holes (both on the same side of the mouth) which I got to "Squeeze" out daily and spit it into a sink. My entire healing process took roughly 2.5 weeks before I could open my mouth wider then an inch.

So, I leave with this warning.. if you don't need them removed, but they want to do it anyway.. punch them in the goddamn face.

Haha, my last surgery in 1998 I woke up by a male nurse and I was asking what time it was and I passed out again.

Is this gonna be fawevah?

Some wisdom teeth removal requires them to break the tooth to take it out so it doesn't damage the teeth next to it. So........they knock you out cold so you aren't staring at the guy who has a crooked crowbar like device in your mouth and is whacking it with a hammer to break your tooth.
