does anybody else experience epic constipation following dentist visit/anaesthetics?
i dont know what they gave me, but i know opioids are common in anaesthetics, and that they make you constipated, but for a whole week?
ive never been constipated before, but after both dentist visits, im completely clogged up :I
im going back and forth like 20 times a day, to shit pea-sized pebbles...

I doubt you had general anesthesia, more likely nitrous oxide or maybe twilight sedation? Even if you did, there are no opiates involved. More likely you were given an opiate painkiller which commonly causes constipation.

i got several needle injections in my gums
3-4 the first time, 2 the second.
is it normal tho, that the constipation lasts for days?

It's probably the anaesthetics, like you already said, because they can slow down intestinal motility. You might have looser stools behind the hard dry stuff, so once you can get it out, you may find that you have very loose stools for a while until your system becomes balanced again.
Can you buy laxatives or enemas there?

yes, i notice little... "bursts" of looseness seeping past a huge fat clog inside :I
i guess i can buy laxatives, but just 5 minutes ago... more-than-just-a-pebble came out :D still only a burst
its been a week now, so... im gonna be patient a day or two more, before i consider any harsher measures.
i got confirmed elsewhere as well that im to expect about a weeks constipation.
such a nice conversation :D

Prunes and prune juice are also good for constipation.

one of my favorite deserts is made from prunes :I
if it hasnt let up by tomorrow (its midnight now)
ill delight in treating myself to them :D

Drink lots and lots of fluids,
Muesli, soaked for an hour in fruit-juice, and then with added yoghurt or more fruit-juice can help too.
If you want to eat more fibre, to loosen things, make sure the fibre is soaked, and make sure you chew your food well.
Adding fibre to your diet without drinking lots extra will get you more clogged up. Fibre and lots and lots of fluids may help your system to get going again.
I don't recognise this problem btw. But then, I never got an ordinary local sedation at my dentist. I reacted badly on those sedations at other places in my body, and regular local sedation scares the shit out of me.

One of the things I remember from Michener's novel, Hawaii, was that when the white immigrants were sailing there they were constipated. The sailors told them to walk a lot on deck. If you've been less physically active lately that may be contributing to the situation.

I have never heard of lidocaine, benzocaine or novocaine (local anesthetics) causing constipation :dunno:

You shouldn't have constipation from it? I had like 3 injections when i had my tooth capped and then again when i broke it again (lol).. and i never got bunged up. Then again, i do only shit like once every 3 days anyway. So I dunno.

if theyre opioids then yes, they can cause constipation. i allready had it confirmed w others who got similar injections - from the dentist - who were constipated for more or less a week as a result.
a week has passed, and im pooping much more easily today, than yesterday
hurray for easy poop!

I've never had constipation after lidocaine injections in my gums.

Neither have I, and I have had at least 40 or 50 of them. It isn't an opioid.

there you gooo! :]

Hubert has returned. I think more people remember me with that name than MLA at this point.
-
The name Hubert has stuck with me.
-
I worked with a Hubert years ago. Definitely a different character. He once bought a Playboy magazine from a major local drug store chain and brought it (sealed) to a council meeting to protest that the chain would be selling filth in his neighborgood and therefore the store shouldn't be allowed to open in his neighborhood.
Needless to say, you're not him.

Just caught a guest reading this.

i have to go back and get two more teeth pulled. but i'm waiting until i cant take the pain any longer, my teeth are always giving me shit! :laugh:
what exactly is oral surgury? because thats whats going to have to happen and i'm really not looking forward to it at all.
-
I had oral surgery on Monday, so I'll tell you about that, but yours might be different from mine. Mine was a crown lengthening, so I have enough tooth to have the right margins for a crown to be put on it because I had a cavity right at the level of my gums under the old crown.
I drove myself in, then the assistant used some sort of gel on my gum to numb it. Then the doctor gave me a couple of numbing injections that numbed the lower right side of my mouth and waited while those took effect. While we were waiting, the assistant gave me my post operative instructions and the prescriptions for the pain medicine and the special germ-killing mouthwash that I needed to have filled after we were done.
Then just before the doctor started the surgery, he gave me more injections around the tooth but I didn't feel those at all. He cut my gums away from the tooth to expose the bone and used a scraper and a drill to remove some of the bone. When he was done, he sewed the gums back with a long suture.
I drove myself to the drugstore,then home. I took a pain pill so it could start working before the numbing medicine wore off. I felt like resting afterward, so I napped off and on for the rest of the day. I use the mouthwash twice a day after I brush my other teeth, but I don't brush the teeth where the surgery was done. I will go back in two weeks so they can check and make sure the gums healed correctly.
-
omg, that sounds tramatic. I knew it wasnt going to be fun, but i guess its just like surgury. :P
I have two wisdom teeth in the back that arnet fully out of my gum and ones laying sideways?
did you go to western dental? My last expieriance with them wasnt so pleasent.
i hope you feel better callaway. nothing is more painful than a sore tooth

Thanks Richard. No, I didn't use Western Dental. They are a chain?
I had impacted wisdom teeth removed before too and the procedure for them was somewhat similar, but mine were completely below my gums. I think that if yours are partially erupted it probably won't be so bad. If the dentist can grasp them with his tool, he might be able to just pull them out with minimal cutting. You will probably have the special mouthwash and the pain medicine afterward, though. Don't brush the holes where the teeth came out, don't smoke(if you do smoke) and don't drink through a straw for two weeks. You do not want to get a dry socket.
-
Yeah, there pretty much everywhere in the west i think. they were in arizona and are in california. so looks like they might be in colorado aswell. I also had the top wisdom teeth removed because they were impacted, but i dont remember having to go through oral surgury for that, these two are on the bottom. and i'll keep that in mind, i'm usually good at following instructions especially when i'm sick or had some medical procedure done

Western Dental sounds like something they would have here in Western Australia, heh.
That sounds like a painful experience, Callaway. I hope I never have to go through anything like that.

Thanks, renaeden. I hope that you don't, either. It was on the same tooth I had a root canal on before and my choices were to do this surgery to save the tooth or to have it pulled and have an implant, so I decided to do this.
-
I have to have two tooth stumps removed before having braces put on. :tard:
-
^Thankfully I didn't need any teeth removed before my braces, only my top two wisdom teeth were taken out at the same time as jaw surgery. And if they didn't tell me they did it, I wouldn't have known. Completely painless.
