Bad News for me.

I have to get a wisdom tooth removed and I need to get two cavities filled. And I have no insurance so I'm going to be in a ton of pain and have to pay through the nose to be in that pain. My company only offers Medical, and not dental or vision. I'm screwed. What should I expect from this wisdom tooth being pulled? Am I gunna need to take the next day off from work, or is it not so bad?

[jemsite]

sorry to hear but you should see if your ins covers "medical" done by an oral surgeon for the prodedure. i would hold off before verifying benefits... if you're covered that way it's a no brainer... glen

You're gunna feel like crap for a few days. I'd take at least week off.

[ibanezcollector]

week off for a wisdom tooth? I had two done and went to work the next day and both were impacted.

I guess we all handle pain differently

Mys sister was crook for a week, she is a bit of a wuss.

yeah I have a condition where the enamel on my teeth is non existent. And im going to be having all my upper teeth removed and a plate put in.. Now thats going to be a week off ordeal..LOL..

[ibanezdiehard]

my friend is pretty strong when it comes to pain and he took 2 days of from work when he had his wisdom teeth pulled.

i'm sure it's not the same. but i went back to work half an hour after having my second tooth before the wisdom pulled

[crevis]

It probably depends on weather they knock you out or not too.

[ibanezdiehard]

/\ i wasn't knocked out at all. i had to feel the f#cker ripping from my jaw! not really somthing i'd like to go through again.

[ibanezcollector]

yeah I wasnt knocked out for my wisdom either.. And you can fricking feel the pressure.. And when you see the dentist struggling to get that little bugger out.. Its kinda spooky I mean hes basically pushing with all hes got on my head, and pulling with everything he had with the other..

all my teeth are just gonna be left to rot out of my head now. you really did capture the feeling of a tooth being pulled so well that i'm NEVER getting it done again.

It's not so bad having a wisdom tooth removed. I've had one removed and I'm getting the next one removed in two weeks (no room for it ). It might bleed a bit and hurt a while after but nothing major.

Regards
