re: has anyone here experienced migraines as a side effect of wisdom tooth eruption?

prepare to have problems with lower jaw wisdoms.

prepare to drool, perhaps forever, if they damage the nerve that controls your bottom lip and chin while scraping them out. It runs close to the roots of your lower wisdoms if they are turned sideways.

prepare to have the procedure done in a room where a defibulator is in reach. (I found this most shocking)

If you've ever done drugs, narcotics or opiates, prepare for the dose sodium pentothal Or whatever they give you)to wear off, and you can experience the joy of surgeon standing in your lap with both hands in your mouth and nurses hands too yelling and cussing trying to yank out your teeth.

prepare to disclose honestly and truthfully the answers to all questions you are asked while under. They will ask you questions for kicks.

Prepare to eat soup for two weeks, then prepare to be absolutely crushed by dry socket for two additional weeks or more. You will not be able to move once dry socket sets in and no drugs work. They will pack the gaping abscesses with witch hazel and wish you luck.

Hope this helps and puts you at ease. God speed you black emperor.

I've never experienced them personally since I had mine removed before they erupted, but I do know that is a common side effect. I used to work for an oral surgeon.

Ain't that the truth. I had all of mine taken out at once and had dry socket on both sides. Never have been in that much pain in my life. Multiple Lortab 10's wouldn't even begin to help. Went back to the surgeon the next day and got them packed and it was all good.
