I got all 4 of mine out at once.
No NO2, but some wonderful shots. I was in and out in 2 hours, drove myself home, and the only problem I had was when a bit of broken tooth extruded from the gum about 3 weeks later. I plucked it and life's been good ever since.
My brother got dry socket, even though he doesn't smoke and followed the directions carefully, so I was damn careful.

Deformed freak AND extra WISE!!!!
It's was quite the medical curiousity.
But there it is....I'm wiser than all y'all.
But you knew that. :P
What exactly is dry socket? I assume it's when the socket that the tooth was in loses it's moisture, but what happens?
in any case, i dont have dry socket. i was just yelling like a baby for some relief because my dad woke me up at 6:30am after i got home at 1:30am and by 6:30 or something my vicodin/pot was no longer in effect.
Dry sockets.
One of the more common complications people experience after a tooth extraction is that of developing a "dry socket". It is thought that dry sockets occur when either a blood clot has failed to form in the socket (the hole found in the bone) where a tooth has been extracted, or else the blood clot that did form has been dislodged and lost. Since the formation of a blood clot is an important part of the healing process, the healing of the extraction site is significantly delayed.
Dry sockets are most frequently associated with difficult tooth extractions or those extractions that have been traumatic in nature. Extractions involving the removal of bone from around a tooth so the dentist can access it, which is often the case when lower impacted wisdom teeth are removed, would be considered to be more traumatic in nature than extractions where the tooth is already through the gums and easily accessed.
Persons who follow their dentist's post-extraction recommendations will reduce their chances of developing a dry socket. Dry sockets are found to occur more commonly in women (even more so in those taking oral contraceptives), persons over the age of 30, and smokers.
Typically dry sockets manifest themselves as a dull throbbing pain which doesn't appear until three or four days after the tooth extraction. The pain can be moderate to severe in intensity and often seems to radiate from the area of the extraction site to the ear. Dry sockets are usually associated with a foul odor or bad taste. Visually, if you can see down into the socket, the extraction site appears "dry", in the sense that you just see exposed bone, there is no formation of pus.
Dry sockets need to be treated by your dentist, and don't be hesitant to let them know that you need help. Your dentist knows that there is no predictability regarding who will develop a dry socket and who will not, and when one occurs they will be eager to assist you.
Typically a dentist will place a medicated dressing into the dry socket. This will help to soothe and moderate the pain. The dressing is usually removed and replaced every 24 hours until the dry socket's symptoms subside, which can in some cases take some number of days. It is not uncommon that small fragments of dead bone (called a "sequestrum") come to the surface of the extraction site as they are ejected by your body during the healing process. You may be able to painlessly remove the very smallest of these splinters of bone yourself, or you may find you need, or want, your dentist's assistance in removing them.

Wow. Regular ol' Joph fan club in here.
Call the dentist, you may need other antibiotics and therapy if you are developing any problems. Tha's what your parents paid him for, but be honest with him if he asks if you have followed instructions.
I had all 4 of mine out at once. They gave me nitris during the operation I could hear what they were doing but couldn't feel it and just didn't give a damn lol.
I feel screwed all I got was tylonal with codine. I woulda waited until my mouth got better and saved the weed for then.

lol, i dont actually have a medical marijuana card, even though i live in california. i am, however, using my marijuana for medical (and recreational) purposes.
pffft. The surgery and recovery are a cakewalk. The worst part is getting food stuck in the holes for the next few months.
Marijuana expands blood vessels. Swelling?

had mine out fully awake, no nitrous.
I paid the extra to be put to sleep. The last thing I remembered is your going to feel a little poke as we insert the IV. Then I woke up to being Hammered in the face and the dentist saying well we needed you awake while we shatter the this one to remove it.
Dry socket is a *****, I followed all of the instructions to a tee am a non smoker and still got dry socket in 2 of 4. Cloves will numb the pain but they taste like ***.
