I Have A Question??

[Amber_lv]

OK i went and got a tooth pulled yesterday because my son hit my in the jaw with his head and it broke it well i have a really bad fear of the dentist because of bad experiences. So anyway i went in and it took him an hour just to get the tooth out he was pulling so hard he was moving my other teeth forward it was killing me then he was using this tool to pull it out and he was pulling and all the sudden SNAP went my tooth he looked at the nurse and she quickly went to the hall and they were kinda whispering and mouthing something she was gone for a few min then she came back and handed some stuff to him. I asked him is it out? And he told me the top is i just got to get the roots so i didn't think anything of it well then he started digging again and i could feel stuff being chipped away later i found out he removed some of my jaw bone. After it was all over he gave me a prescription for percocet and i went home. Well about and hour and a half later i was able to get my meds but by that time i was dying in pain also he said the bleeding would stop within an hour and it should be pretty much done in 20 min well i was bleeding so bad i had to change the gauze every 20 min and when i took it out it was gushing so i called and they told me it was normal i didn't stop bleeding for over 3 hours and then it died down a little well i just thought that i would be better in the morning but i will tell you all i am in so much pain i don't know what to do i can't even open my mouth because it hurts so bad i tried to eat a yogurt and i can barley get a spoon in my mouth. My gums are swollen almost up to my front two teeth and my cheek is really swollen and sore to i literally can barely open it up. So i was wondering does this sound normal to all of you? Do you have any suggestions?

Well I am very sorry that you ahd yet another scary experience at the dentist. As for the bleeding it might be normal because of all the handling and procedures done at once. What does soon like an anomaly is that part of your jaw boke was taken. That kind of scary. The eating part I know it can take days or weeks before you are able to eat correctly. Both my sister had their wisdom teeth pulled and they could only drink through a straw the first few day and then they were only able to eat soups and soft food. I know to one of them that their cheek got sewn to their gum and she was happy about that. She was also about to get a double dose of medication she didn't need but she stopped them as she is in the medical field and knew what was to be done. Anyways I wish you a speedy recovery.

No advise for you, but I can certainly symphathize with you; I have a fear of dentist too. Seems he should have told you what he was doing though. Hope you feel better soon.

I would go to another dentist if you aren't feeling any better soon...that can't be good with your jaw bone...There is a YT that will get on later her husband is a dentist I will make sure she ask him and post for you later....

Thank you so much i called yesterday because i was in so much pain and i asked why they removed some of the bone and she told me it was normal i don't want to be a skeptic but this wasn't oral surgery and i don't understand also i don't think i should be in this much pain i feel like i have been hit a few times in the jaw with a baseball bat!! I'm sitting here crying not knowing what to do.

If she doesn't get on soon I will call her and get her to find out for you....at least her hubby can tell you what you need to do....

Poor You i can sympathise with you, i have had 4 teeth out but none of them sound like yours! my dads tooth snapped when his was pulled he had to be put to sleep to have the root cut out, they didnt do it with him awake, and deffinatley didnt remove any bone! just a word of caution if you are still bleeding watch out my sister had a hemarege (sp?) when she had a tooth out. i really hope you can get this sorted and will feel beter soon

It's funny I'm reading this post. I have had a tooth ache for sometime now and have been dreading on going to the dentist. I just moved to the Illinois area and have no idea who would be good to see. I trusted my dentist in Michigan.

If anyone know of a good dentist in the Rockford, IL area, please let me know.

He should never have let you leave his office without telling you exactly what he did and what you should expect. I had a similar experience when I was young with an older dentist who was a known alcholic. Very bad experience. I don't know if the root can attach to the bone, but I have had enough teeth pulled to know that what happened to you was not right. I would go to another dentist. Wisdom teeth can be real problems, but the rest of the teeth shouldn't be. My last dentist had to pull a molar that had broken off and none of it was sticking above my gumline. I shut my eyes, grabbed the chair arms and squeezed with all my might, and he started laughing at me saying I could let go, it was out. I never even felt him tug. You definetly shouldn't be in this much pain. If it doesn't get better real soon, you should see someone else, just in case he damaged your jaw and didn't want to tell you. He may have knocked other teeth loose, too. Good luck and I hope you start feeling better soon.

That dose not sound good at all! I had a few teeth pulled when I was little and the next day non of that happen...I would go back or to a diffrent DR ASAP!! That dose not sond right, I dont think the root can go to your bone but I can be wrong. Poor thing hope you feel better soon!

[Amber_lv]

Thank you all so much i don't think what he did was right either i mean i had another tooth pulled a year or so ago and it was oral surgery but they couldn't put me out cause i was pregnant and he had to tug on it a bit he even cut a stitched up my gum and it never hurt like this i only bled for maybe 15 min and had hardly any pain and was fine the next day but this time it is bad i hope he didn't brake my jaw or something because my muscles are so tight i can barely open my mouth as far as knocking my other teeth loose i don't think they are but i will tell you they all hurt up to my front 2. The thing that makes me the most angry is i had a panic attack when he came in to meet me i started crying and i told him how hard of a time i have coming to the dentist you think he would've been more gentle also he cut my lip because he kept getting it caught between the tools I'm so angry i could scream!! You guys are wonderful thanks so much for the support also for the YT member with the dentist as a husband i would love any advice.

Holy crap - think he was a highway construction worker in a former life ? Sounds like he took a jackhammer to your poor face

He sounds so rough and if I were you I'd tell him you aren't very happy with how you were handled and get something stronger than percocet....OUCH ! That made me cringe reading your post
