Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / November 2004Worst ever tooth extraction
Well, finally had the tooth thats been causing me months of trouble extracted. Took the bloody dentist 1/2 an hour of tugging, yanking, drilling to get the f**ker out. He told me he had never seen such curly roots. Needless to say, it took about 15 hours for the bleeding to stop and I needed a large dose of codeine to get some sleep. Rant over. I prefer nice, easy extractions where the patient asks, "It's already out?!?". X-rays and history can help make that determination. If you ever have another extraction, you might want to consider visiting an oral surgeon. The combination of root anatomy and bone density can make some patients' teeth more difficult than average to remove. Of course it would also be a good idea to check your diet, home care, restorative needs, and recall regularity to prevent needing another extraction in the first place (unless this was a wisdom tooth).

Guess you're lucky you went to a dentist. Some people try those at home with their own "medication" > Well, finally had the tooth thats been causing me months of trouble > extracted.

I've had a number of teeth extracted, and they always came out easy. At least, the ones I remember having out went easy. You should consider getting a new jaw and teeth. Adenosine Please understand that stuff happens, and no extraction goes flawless - I had a lower extracted earlier this year and it took the oral surgeon 45 minutes to get it out. We're only dentists and do not have super powers. > Well, finally had the tooth thats been causing me months of trouble > extracted.

If God can put it in there, we can "try" to take it out. jwn dds > Please understand that stuff happens, and no extraction goes flawless - I > had a lower extracted earlier this year and it took the oral surgeon 45 [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] >> needed a large dose of codeine to get some sleep. >> Rant over. >We're only dentists and do not have super powers.
