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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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 all four of my wisdom teeth taken out. I happen to be allergic to all types of pain medication. FML
Today, I had my wisdom teeth taken out. I vaguely remember telling the doctor that I'm a virgin. Several times. 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 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
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 the dentist to get my wisdom teeth removed. The surgeon took a better X-ray to see what he was dealing with before he got started. When he came back into the room, he started to laugh and told me it was my lucky day because in the X-rays he found 2 big extra wisdom teeth. FML
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 got my wisdom teeth cut out. While my girlfriend was driving me home, I, still being high on the laughing gas, accidentally admitted to cheating on her. She was kind enough to wait until the numbness wore off before she punched me in the face. FML
Today, I went to the dentist to have a tooth pulled. The day before, I was too anxious to eat anything, so I went in with an empty stomach. There were complications during the extraction and now I'm not allowed to eat for the next 24 hours. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Okay since no one seems to know anything about this... You CAN be put completely under for this but generally that does NOT happen. The most common thing for wisdom tooth extractions would be sedation. You do go under a little but definitely not as much as general anesthesia. You will also be given a drug (IV route) that induces anterograde amnesia - you won't remember anything that happens about 1 minute after that drug is administered. So all that stuff you rattle off you PROBABLY won't remember, though it's possible you will recall some parts (I actually remember waking up at some point when I got mine out years ago). Neither drug will prevent pain so you'll also be given local anesthetic "novocaine" (really lidocaine). If the teeth are impacted (fully under bone) the oral surgeon will probably recommend or require sedation and not just the local anesthetic. And the oral surgeon may not go to work immediately... he/she may start a couple minutes after the drugs are administered. This would be a good time for someone to start talking. There is also the period of time after the surgery where you are still recovering. Though gauze will be in your mouth you can still try to speak.. or when they change the gauze you could get some words in. Odds are you won't have much time to talk though from start to finish. Anyhow this is definitely possible. My bet here though, unless the surgeon confirmed what was said, is that the person here THINKS they said that stuff but really didn't. P.S. I am in dental school and have assisted an oral surgeon many times.

I had mine out years ago with just novacaine. It wasn't bad. I suppose some people just get nervous so they put them under, but there is always an increased risk with that.

Only reason why i would say fake is because here they don't allow it to remove wisdomteeth on both sides at once. This because it makes it impossible to eat for a couple of days. If anything, FYL for having them removed, i remember it hurt like hell when they took mine out :'(

I'm pretty sure your orthodontist wouldn't care. Like many of the others said, he probably couldn't understand you since your mouth is wide open and your slurring words from anethesia. Also, if you would act like that, I'm sure many others would. It's just a fun time for the ortho while he/she is doing their job.

I had all four pulled a few weeks ago, talking was basically impossible. I was full sedated because of the fully impacted teeth, but what i do remember doesn't involve any talking on my part, just a bright light and lots of faces and a grinding sound.

my mom is an assistant for an oral surgeon and she sees this all the time. they don't immediatly go in when they give you the anesthesia. they need to make sure it kicks in and does it's job. so it's perfectly normal for people to ramble on and on. it's also possible for that to happen after the fact, while still under the influence. so i really don't think this is a fake. @ #56 this surgery does not require you to be put under. my mom has assisted in a ton of wisdom teeth pulling with those who chose not to be completley under. it's all a matter of choice by the person. and everyone has different reactions to the drugs they are put on afterwards. some may be out for awhile and some may not be.

I've never heard of of somebody getting ALL four wisdom teeth removed at the same time. When I went to the dentist and asked him if he could take out 2 at the same time, he told me those are 2 different surgeries and he wouldn't perform them at once. I don't know how you even manage to eat, drink and talk properly after this giant operation... I feel for you!

that sucks... i got my wisdom teeth out today too but i was pretty much fine a little loopy but i didnt say or do anything stupid like all you guys. im not sure when you had time to talk at all other than maybe while they wait for the anesthetic to kick in before they start in which case you werent even really high yet...

also #104 -- your dentist is kind of a moron i had 2 pulled at a time. the left side a few months ago and the left side today. they do one side of your mouth each time so you can eat on the other side after the first few days. theres no reason pulling the top and bottom ones on the same side of your mouth should be a problem. maybe he just wants you to have 4 separate surgeries instead of 2 so its more expensive...
