ugh i'm pissed at the dentist

[are you kind]

so i went to the dentist on tuesday for a wisdom teeth extraction. fairly common procedure, i had no worries except for getting an IV, which the dentist told me the day before i wouldn't need, so i was straight. i knew i'd be getting some pain pills for my troubles, so life would be good.

well, i healed incrediblely fast. i ate a steak the next night. when i went to the doctor the other day and told him that he was quite impressed. i was able to smoke a few bowls yesterday and didn't get dry sockets or anything, and i was able to actually scrub the holes with my toothbrush this morning to get them nice and clean.

heres the shitty part:

my face is still numb. like my lower lip on the right side, my lower right gums and teeth, and a patch on my chin. i've been researching it, and it sounds like when he pulled the lower right tooth, he had to cut into my jaw bone a little bit, and he hit a nerve.

the damage may not be permanent, but all the info i've found online says the feeling never gets back to completely normal.
shaving sucks, i can't feel how much pressure i'm putting on the razor against my face.
drinking is weird, i can't quite tell if the cup is up to my lips or not
smoking is weird for the same reason

fuck this shit its depressing to think that i have permanent nerve damage in my face. i'd get high but i'm broke as hell and start my new job on monday, so this weekend i'll just be hanging out doing nothing with a fucking numb face

gahhh aldfjsdaklfjs;lad fuck

lol man that fuckin sux is it like an everlasting anestetic? lol id have thought that wud feel gud but there ya go..

[are you kind]

eh it was cool for like two days, but its not really like anesthetic. its like my lip feels like rubber.

too bad i couldn't have permanent effects from the pain relievers or the anti-anxiety pills they gave me the day before

Dude im sorry to hear that... i went to the dentist and he said my uppers need to come out. im like what??? my bottom 2 came out about 15 years ago.

That sucks. I've always been alittle scared myself because I have read that sometimes one doesn't get all the feeling back after oral surgery. Hopefully you get all your feelings back soon. Sometimes it just takes time. Sounds like your healing up real good that's a good sign I would say. :stoned:

I'd wait for a few more days to see if it fades.. because when I got my wisdom teeth taken out, my face still felt numb for like a few days after the surgery. Just wait.

Cant you sue him though, for like, bad work or whatever?

It's fucking wierd when you cant feel how hard your razors pressing against your face, i've had to go though that, and sucesfully cut myself on the top lip. Sucks cocks.

I hope it all gets back to normal for ya and goodluck with your new job.

[enthused]

Yeah if it ends up being permanent....I'd think you can sue? For a damn good reason, no one fucks with a mans shaving.

dude, just be glad ur gonna get painkillers!:thumbsup:

[Ae...]

It's a story like this one that made me decide to bear the pain and let all four of mine grow in...

I have three out now and the sides of my mouth are chewed to hell, but it's better than some horror story about not being able to feel my face for days on end.

I really hope everything turns out okay for you man.
