Why is the tooth Italian and what’s wrong with an Italian tooth??
🤌
I spent way too long looking for Saddam Hussein.
Where was he?
In every corner of my expensively empty mouth apparently
Had 4 done at once. Because asthmatic, had to be done at the hospital because of general anesthetic. 2/10
Was told to eat protein rich diet to support healing, but couldn’t chew meats like steak for months due to the risk of breaking my jaw. (Big holes left in bones when teeth removed.)
Invented meat smoothie.
1 steak, medium rare Montreal steak spice. 4 slices bacon 1 spicy italian pork sausage 1 chicken thigh deboned. Salt Water Yogurt
10/10 surprisingly good.
What a horrible day to be literate
Meat smoothie sounds terrible. Really terrible.
How about the mango mahi mahi smoothie I enjoyed instead.
HORK
My doc only takes 2 out at the same time (from one side), so the patient can chew. 4 sounds risky
I had all four done with just a couple benzos and local anesthetic. Granted they were reasonably accessible and not impacted. I have vague recollections of making a pun while they were “elevating” one of the teeth. I don’t remember the pun, and that’s the worst part.
Even if they only do two at a time, if any of them are impacted into your bones, you won’t be able to chew. Something about physics but chewing anywhere in your mouth can cause the weak spot to crack.
Source: I had all 4 removed and one was impacted. Dentist told me I shouldn’t be chewing on one ‘safe’ side cause still can break my jaw.
I had them out at 18 in the Navy. At first I didn’t want to have it done, but then looking at the X-ray, I was all about it.
Loved when my impacted wisdom tooth that looked closely to that exploded in my jaw in 2019. Great times. Real glad my surgery was in February of 2020.
Do they still give you an almost 2 week script of hydrocodone after? I remember watching a lot of magic school bus high as fuck when I was younger for a few days after.
You mean the dentist who, when seeing me, told me immediately they don’t prescribe narcotics at that office and then immediately looked guilty when I said that’s fine, I just wanted a scrip for the big ibuprofen because taking 4 of the small ones at a time made my stomach sick?
No. No they did not.
Ugh, I hate that presumption among healthcare professionals. We’re not really in pain, we’re all just dRuG sEeKiNg.
I mean, I came to you with a medical problem, which is often solved by or improved by medication, so I guess technically, yes?
And if I’m in such pain that I require narcotics, wouldn’t you rather I see a doctor and take it with their supervision, or that I go find a dealer on the street?
I understand there are some people with addiction issues, but allowing a patient (especially one with no drug abuse history) to suffer, on the off chance they might use pain killers for fun, is so fucked up. I already have to jump through hoops to get ADHD medication for the same reason. It seems that in the US, you’re assumed to be addicted by default.
I get treated like a drug seeker even when I’m openly allergic to opiates. And yeah the adhd meds are such a pain in the ass to the point of counterproductivity
The dentist slipped when pulling one of my non-impacted teeth and hit me in the back of the throat with his whole body weight. He prescribed me 10 days of hydrocodone and when I called back and said the default dose still left me with a sore throat he called me in another 10 days of a higher dose.
Needless to say, my throat didn’t hurt anymore and I played WoW a lot (~2007)
Good ole days haha. Doctors totally overestimate the addiction potential of a short term prescription and underprescribe now.
“wisdom teeth”
Dumbest fucking teeth!
can someone explain this? I don’t get it
I had that. The 8th (wisdom) tooth grows in that position. At first there’s no problem but it starts to create pressure on all other teeth and eventually starts to hurt as it’s pushing against the 7th tooth. The solution is to take out wisdom teeth, which is a quite common procedure any way. Don’t know what the “infinite money” is about. Maybe this is some USA thing.
Costs like a thousand dollars or more to get them taken out here
It only cost me $15.8 to take the both of them out where I live. (I only had two for some reason)
Seriously?? Where the hell is that?
Or free if you do it in the military like I did
By the time this is a problem, going through boot camp first isn’t exactly viable for 99 percent of people.
stundents 😭
StuNdent? Can’t people spell check?
Graduates, sure, but stundents are still learning
Don’t you mean “granduates“?
Typos in meme captions or post titles really trigger me.
It’s okay to make mistakes in comments or posts, but ffs check your titles and captions at least.
i thought that was a hand with too many fingers. teeth make more sense.
Had six done at once with local anesthesia. Yup, whole two supernumerary teeth.
It sure was an experience that I wouldn’t want to experience again.
