I keep looking at this thread and thinking it has something to do with a w123,

Did they have to pull the engine?

Hellllloooooo Everybody!

Well a couple of days have passed.

Never had to take the pain meds they prescribed, so far. The worst it ever got was when I woke up on Saturday morning. My bottom right jaw area was sore and it did not help that I ended up sleeping on it.

I have been eating soups, jello, and over-cooked (ultra soft) pasta.

After every snack/meal I gargle some tap water and then follow with a quick shot of ACT mouthwash, then I gargle with water again. CLEAN!

My mouth still feels kinda funny in the bottom right corner, but I think I am on my way up at this point.

Funny thing... I only had 3 wisdom teeth. top 2 and the bottom right one. The top two were easy to remove as they were simply growing straight down.

The bottom right tooth however was the weird one. it was growing in at a 45 degree angle and was pushing up against the next tooth. I think that is why my jaw is sore there since it probably required the most amount of digging and cutting.

Anyways, I am very thankful to my parents and my insurance company. Total cost of the surgery was ~$1200. Out of pocket was $155.20, which was paid the beforehand on the morning of the surgery.

(On the hunt for a good used M103 engine as of 6/10/23, PM me if you have one to sell!)

Yeah it kind of sucks. I had all 4 taken out about 5 years ago, did it in the morning and worked a 4-9 shift afterwards, never took anything stronger than Advil.

I tolerate pain pretty well though.

I read in the newspaper a few years back, about a ranch foreman in Texas, that hires migrant workers, having to rush a worker to the E.R. The man had a toothache..and not having insurance ..decided that he would do his own extraction. His pardners got him drunk ,,then gave him a 25. caliber pistol. At which time , the 'patient' proceeded to shoot his own tooth out. He missed the tooth that was giving him problems, and the bullet went thru the roof of his mouth...and took his eye out..Nice~

I still have all 4 of mine. My lower right one is impacted, used to bother me at times but hasn't for many years now.
Every time I go to the dentist they always tell me they want to remove them. I always tell them no freekin way!
They tell you how bad it is to keep them but they never tell you about the serious side effects that can arise.

A good friend of mine sent her son to have his taken out. I asked her why she did it and she said her dentist told her they needed to come out!
I asked her what SHE thought and she didn't have an answer.

I'm 46 now and will never have them taken out unless I absolutely have to.
