Shots and Wisdom Teeth

BloodyPheonix · 08-31-2014, 04:57 AM

A lot of the stuff I've seen about it is that the SIQ days after they get yanked are great because so many people lose them that there is no point in trying to teach anything so the rest clean while you sleep. Don't think you get pain meds though but still worth the pain.

I'd get bored. Remember, when you're SIQ, you CANNOT leave your rack except to eat and use the head. And you'll almost certainly drool-bleed on your pillow, which is nasty.

Interesting question... I had my wisdom teeth removed but I actually have a fifth one that is up in my nerve, and my dentist didn't remove it as he said it was too risky and wouldn't cause me problems. Do you guys think they will try to remove that one at basic? Should I maybe get some documentation about it from my dentist before I go?

If it'll make you sleep better at night, you could, but as Guppy said, the dentists at RTC are experts. They know what's feasible and what could become an issue in the future.

My wisdom teeth cause me no issues, and the dentists there saw that immediately and left them alone.
