A horror story I heard was about a person who got an infection right after wisdom tooth removal. The infection spread really quickly, and they developed a high fever. They were in so much pain that they couldn't sleep or eat. The dentist had to drain the abscess and prescribe a very strong antibiotic. It took weeks for them to fully recover, and they were really scared of ever having any dental work done again.
Before the extraction, make sure you get all the necessary information. Ask about the potential risks and how they will be managed. Also, during the recovery, follow the after - care instructions strictly. For example, keep the area clean, avoid hard foods, and take any prescribed medications on time. In my case, if I had done these things better, my horror story might not have happened.
There are several possible reasons. It might be that the tooth was impacted in a very difficult way. For example, mine was growing sideways. The dentist had a hard time getting it out and ended up causing a lot of bleeding. And during the recovery, I had trouble eating for days because of the pain, and every time I tried to open my mouth wide, it felt like the wound was going to split open.
One horror could be extreme pain during the procedure. Sometimes, the tooth might be impacted in a difficult way, making it hard for the dentist to remove. This can lead to a lot of pulling and pushing, causing intense pain.
My sister had her wisdom teeth removed and she had a very strange reaction. She thought she was a famous chef. Right after the procedure, she started giving detailed instructions on how to make a five - star meal, using imaginary ingredients. She was waving her hands around as if she was in a big kitchen. When we showed her the video later, she couldn't stop laughing at herself.
A friend of mine had a wisdom teeth removal horror story. After the surgery, she got an infection that spread to her jaw. Her jaw became so swollen and painful that she had to be hospitalized for a week. They had to give her strong antibiotics through an IV. The whole experience was really scary for her. She said she could hardly open her mouth and the pain was unbearable. Also, the cost of the additional treatment due to the infection was really high, which added to the stress.
One of my adult experiences with wisdom teeth removal was quite nerve - wracking. I was really scared before the procedure. But the dentist was very kind and explained everything step by step. The actual removal wasn't as bad as I thought. I just felt a bit of pressure. After that, I had to follow a strict diet of soft foods for a while. I ate a lot of mashed potatoes and yogurt.
A guy I know thought he was a dog after his wisdom teeth removal. He was crawling on all fours and barking at people. His family was both amused and a bit worried at first, but then they just decided to record the whole thing. Later, when he saw the video, he was so embarrassed but it was really funny for everyone else.
Firstly, choose a very experienced dentist or oral surgeon. They are more likely to handle any complications well. Also, make sure to follow all the pre - surgery instructions carefully, like not eating or drinking before the operation as required. And after the surgery, keep the area clean to prevent infection.
Well, my friend thought she could talk clearly right after the removal. But she mumbled like a baby trying to say 'I want ice cream' and it came out as 'I wab ice cweam'. It was hilarious.
