Today, I got my wisdom teeth pulled. Apparently the medicines don't work on me. I woke up in the middle of the surgery and felt EVERYTHING. One of the nurses asked if I was okay, and the doctor just kept saying "Don't worry she's just dreaming", while tears were pouring down my face. FML

Today, I had my wisdom teeth pulled. The local anesthesia worked on three of the four teeth. I found out about the last tooth when the dentist was mid-yank. FML

Today, I got my wisdom teeth removed and took the pain medicine that the oral surgeon prescribed for me before bed. The pain actually did go away for the most part, until my stomach decided to betray me and make me throw up, forcing my jaw to open more than it could after surgery. FML

Today, I faced my fear of needles and had my wisdom teeth extracted while awake. On the last tooth, I heard a loud crack. The root broke off in my jawbone and had to be drilled out. FML

Today, I went to the dentist to get a tooth pulled. When I woke up I found out they pulled the wrong one. FML

Today, I got my wisdom teeth out. Due to the drugs they gave me I felt nauseous. When I went to the bathroom as a precaution I did not throw up. Instead I passed out face first in the toilet. FML

Today, I had all four of my wisdom teeth extracted. Under anesthesia I told the dentist my entire love life and drug history in detail. FML

Today, I woke up from my wisdom tooth surgery… while they were still sawing my jaw. I had such a bad panic response that they also cut my lip, so I have stitches inside and outside of my mouth, as well as the haunting crackle of bone being removed from my skull stuck in my head. FML

Today, I got my wisdom teeth taken out. The two male doctors told me they'd give me anesthesia, but when they did, I could still hear them. I heard them talking about my breasts and how flat they were for a 17 year old. FML

Today, I went to get some teeth pulled. I had Novocaine in my gums and lip so I couldn't feel a thing. When the doctor is pulling out the last tooth, he sneezes and pulls the tooth out. He looks in my mouth and I hear, "Oh, shit..." I now have stitches in my mouth. FML

Today, I had all of my wisdom teeth removed. After the anesthesia wore off, I asked how long the procedure took, and the nurse told me a little less than an hour. Apparently I thought this was hilarious and started laughing, which ripped my new stitches. FML

Okay... First of all: sue the doctor/surgeon/dentist. He is not allowed to automatically 'assume' that you are dreaming. As a professional, they should make sure you are responding properly and at least should have asked you if you were alright and not simply gone under his "assumption". Second: There is a condition called anesthetic awareness, rare but not unheard of. It means that the patient has lost the ability to communicate to the doctors but can feel everything. Look up the name 'Sherman Sizemore' for those curious people. It could come in handy in court too XD

Did you not try to communicate with the doctors in any way? I'd understand if you couldn't, but I remember about a year ago when I got a filling...they numbed my mouth but I felt everything because I have a sensitive nerve right where they were drilling. Every so often I'd have to raise my hand to ask them to stop for a moment. But uh...clearly wisdom teeth removal would be MUCH more painful. D:

You are not the only one that is immune to painkillers. I know what it feels like too. When I had my wisdom teeth removed I was given almost twice the recommended dosage of painkillers because they had no effect on me. It did not work. I was there six hours to have three teeth removed and went over the amount of time I was allowed to be on NOS. Each tooth needed to be cracked in two and had 1/4 inch roots. They also had to remove a cyst. It is a good thing that I have a relatively high tolerance for pain, but it was still the worst time of my life. Even worse than the aneurysm I had the year before.

Ouch when I got my wisdom teeth pulled, they told me I had six wisdom teeth not 4. They said I must have been very wise. I can think of some other words.

actually, #122... while I'm not saying the doctor was right or wrong, it's hard for the dentist to determine whether the patient is aware of their surroundings or not. I work in the dental field
