I didn't ask how big the overjet was (it's pretty deep, though), but when I'm at rest, my upper front teeth do tend to push my top lip open. Even though I say 8 teeth total were taken (4 wisdoms, 4 bicuspids), technically only 6 were taken completely out and the bottom two wisdom teeth only the crowns were removed--the roots were left behind. As for finding my vein, the surgeon was working on my right arm for a while, but my vein is always in the left arm anyway, so when he asked the nurse to find one in my left arm she found it immediately. I was half gone by this point, but I remember that much. I also remember the IV going in, but for some reason the needle didn't hurt. I felt the bite wedge thing go in my mouth to prop it open, then some pressure, but I was gone after that. Don't remember anything until I was being wheeled into recovery.
Anyway, back in college (approximately fall of 2010, my junior year), a group of us went to Little Tokyo in downtown Los Angeles with the Japanese department at our university. We go every year, and my sister and I still take regular trips here and there. Luckily it was the end of the day, and I had just ordered and paid for my Boba. I went to go catch up with the second half of our group who were walking past outside, and rather than going out the door like I was aiming for, I missed it by some feet and ended up running into the glass wall--shattered my top teeth to pieces (front two and left incisor). Needed root canals and crowns on all 3 of them. Fast forward to January 2017, I was seeing my general dentist (she was new to me as of 2016) and she sent me to the endodontist for root canal re-treatment on my incisor because there was a huge abscess under it (gotta assume it had been forming for the last 7 years). I get to the endodontist for re-treatment, she looks at the x-rays and says I need surgery
Surgery was scheduled for February 10th--I just had my last follow up last month and things are looking good on that front. Anyway, she had to numb me up real good and cut into my gums to reach the infection (turns out it was a cyst of some sort), dig it out, do a bond graft to heal it up, and stitch me back up. If I'm being honest, the the pain after the numbness wore off from my apicoectomy surgery (the procedure I had done) was worse than getting my wisdom teeth pulled! Not to mention walking around a few weeks with stitches in the front of my mouth until I could get them taken out.
Fast forward to January 2018, my general dentist is still pushing me to seek orthodontic treatment while I'm still young or I'll have so many problems later, so I finally gave in and took her referral to the orthodontist. That's where we are now. Hope I didn't bore you with my long history of dental woes XD
Lmk how your extractions went once you're fully conscious and lived to tell the tale
