Oww My Mouth!

@iflipvans, Help with what? Dealing with the pain, or stopping smoking?

I had all 4 of mine removed and I was a smoker myself, I actually quit a little over 2 months ago and I’ve been fine since, and I was an avid smoker for about 5 years of my life.
to numb the pain without pain killers I bought these pads you put over a bleeding wound and ripped them up and folded them so they were much like a cushion and put them where my wisdom teeth used to be and I would slowly bite sounds painful but it actually felt very good and didn’t ruin the stiching one bit. As for the smoking issue, drink a glass of water each time you crave and try to get your mind off it the moment it happens, sitting there dwelling on it never helps.. Last but certainly not least sleep a fuck load. You won’t be sitting there craving if your sleeping:p

@martijn, You’re such a solid guy I feel like I can touch your face through the computer screen.

Anyone know why it’s even necessary? Animals don’t seem to have a problem with it. We sure as hell couldn’t do anything about it 2000 years ago

@danfontaine, I think a lot of dentists do it for space in the mouth to stop other teeth from pushing forward. I’ve got 2 of mine in though, and have refused to get them removed as they havn’t posed any problems.

@iflipvans, And yes, you really should stop smoking. Anyone I know who has had teeth taken out and has to continued to smoke has had further issues. I really don’t think it’s worth the pain. If you’re serious about it, then keep yourself busy man. Exercise, meditate, read, write, draw, whatever. If you really want to quit you can, just put yourself back in control.

Exchange the smoking addiction with another addiction, a more healthy one. I heard that’s a good method.

@iflipvans, I took like 3 1/2 pain killers when i got my removed. 2 the day of the surgery, 1 the next day, and a half because my mom would leave me alone.

Had almost 30 pills leftover. Screw that mess.

@iflipvans, So you don’t need to painkillers… because you’re not a pussy? So you used alcohol instead? Think about what you’re saying.

@jakehay, From what he has said in this thread, he seems has a history (and a present) of substance abuse. He’s been addicted to smoking (assume tobacco?) for five years and he also seems to have a dependency on alcohol.

@iflipvans, So why did you opt to have your teeth pulled out if you didn’t even want them pulled out?

And how hard is it to just not smoke? Just don’t buy more smokes and the problem is solved. Yes, it really is that easy. I know because I’ve been there, and I was a complete addict.

@martijn, To the unchained mind, there is nothing that is not lol.
Life is a game, it’s fun…

Why so serious?

@iflipvans, I”m working on becoming a spiritual healer. using meditation and some assistance spirits i literally removed the toothache.
The toothache was not something natural in her body, I understood then that there was something there interrupting her natural flow of energy. I was able to locate and successfully remove the cause of this obstruction.
