Recovering from Wisdom Tooth Surgery - Tokyo! 

Drugged Emma is the one thing we needed.

‘I’m making easy cheesey peasey rice. It’s easy. It’s cheesey, and it’s peasey. It’s just rice and cheese and peas’ followed shortly by ‘this is hell’ absolutely SENT me

this whole video is a really long breakdown and i think we can all relate

The "I don't remember filming this" part got me laughing in tears, and the 50 shades of grey part too. I'm laughing for the past you Emma! 😂 Hope you're all well from your wisdom tooth now! ❤️

It was interesting to hear how Emma's voice reflected how she was feeling in each scene. You can literally hear her getting better over the course of the video.

I love how Japanese taxi's look like a grandma's house lmao

Absolutely need part 2 of Emma high as a kite

I’m dying! 😂😂 “No one talks like that. No one talks like that.”

The 50 Shades reading parts makes me laugh everytime. Good to see that after a couple of days of batling you are feeling so much better! Love your videos. A virtual hug from Argentina ❤️

I was told by my oral surgeon when I had my wisdom teeth out that gently biting down on a moistened black tea bag for 30 minutes would help with the bleeding. The tannic acid would help the blood to clot. I would think a decaf black tea bag would work just fine too. Good luck!

Emma high as a kite reading 50 Shades, priceless! :-)

You are a warrior. The 50 Shades part was priceless!

Luckily for me, I was able to have mine removed by a maxillofacial surgeon, and had all 4 wisdom teeth removed at the same time. I was also knocked completely unconscious, and my recovery time was very easy. I am very sorry that you are having to have them done one at a time over a course of weeks :(

Cooling is very important. It helps a lot to reduce swelling. Get two of these blue gel coolpacks. Wrap one in a kitchen towel and put it on your cheek. The second one sits in the freezer ready for changing.

So great that you have Taylor. It’s nice you have each other.

It's crazy how different people react to recovering from dental surgery. I had a wisdom tooth removed under local anesthetic, and I got the bus home after and was fine, bleeding stopped after I rinsed my mouth out and had no pain during recovery and no swelling.

EASY CHEESY PEASY that's the best thing in the world

I died when you talked about the crackwhore mother 😂😂😂😂 i couldn’t stop laughing

This video was so funny, i literally laughed out loud. I want Emma to do a full review of the books while on painkillers after her second surgery. But still, i wish you a faster and better recovery next time :)

The “easy peasy cheesy fried rice” bit gave me Jenna Marbles vibes and I’m here for itttt!! ❤️

Your video put me in such a good mood. I love how genuine you are Emma!♥️

So glad that Taylor went with you. Hope you heal quickly! ❤

I'm so sorry you have to go through all of that again! I had my wisdom teeth (all 4) removed when I was still a teenager (after I got my braces off). I was put completely under and the recovery was difficult because I was sleepy for at least a week, and didn't feel normal for at least 2. Moral support, lots of books/movies/etc. lined up, and lots of patience are very essential. I am getting a kick out of you reading Twilight and now 50 Shades. I was in my mid-20s when it became popular the first time around and reliving those memories through your videos is pretty funny. Good luck with your 2nd tooth!

Omg, I never thought it could hurt so much! 😩 Take care!

This is the most freaking sweet and wholesome episode of tokidoki evah! You poor baby! So glad you had TaylorB looking after you. Drugged Emma is the pandemic gift we didn’t know we needed and probably don’t deserve. Love to you sweet pea! Also! Good choice avoiding the straw!

I laughed till I was in pain at the 50 shades segments 💀 this was so real and relaxed, you are great

I am one of the lucky few, who never had wisdomteeth. Glad You are through this ☺️

That’s a lot to go through! I had all four out when I was in my early twenties, under general anesthesia, was up and running in a few days. That was decades ago, sorry you have to go through this!

Deadass the funniest video I think you’ve uploaded. Like drugged Emma is peak comedy Emma

I love how wholesome your videos are! Thanks for brightening my day :D and I hope your next surgery goes well too

Hi Emma, hope you are doing very well! Just so you know, your videos are the ones keeping me sane this whole time! Stay safe and healthy!

How fitting this showed up. I'm getting 3 of mine out this coming Thursday. The 4th one hasn't erupted and the surgeon doesn't want to take it out since there's a high risk of developing a dry socket in that area and it could go up into the sinus cavity. So we have to wait on that one. I hope you're feeling better. If you can't continue to do one at a time maybe bring that up to him before you get the next one out and see if you can just get more out. Update: it's Friday and the only pain and swelling I have is on the bottom right. Which is surprising because the left side where I got both out doesn't have any pain or swelling. I didn't get any pain meds or antibiotics. They just suggested advil. What I can say is the mixture of laughing gas and IV sedative was amazing. Definitely a 10/10

Watching you recovering and getting better is very therapeutic and wholesome. Much needed especially considering the times now. Also having an upcoming wisdom tooth extraction. -_-''' Thanks for the fun video

Oh, Emma, glad to see you are feeling better! I am a dental hygienist and always recommend patients have all necessary extractions at the same time- you feel bad for a couple of days no matter how many teeth come out. Ice is your friend! Next time start with ice packs immediately. Consider getting a retainer to wear at night for your bottom teeth to keep them from crowding. It will happen even without wisdom teeth.

One at a time! Nooooo! Glad I had mine out under a general anesthesia and all at once - MANY years ago. 🦷 🦷 🦷 🦷 “Emma and the Anesthesia” sounds like a good book title. Hugs from America. ❤️❤️❤️

Sorry for choosing THIS video to make this shout-out, but I love your videos! They're hilarious (especially this one), and real and I love how you're unafraid to post the good and the bad. Major kudos

I had all 4 done at the same time during college while living in the dorms. It was horrible! I had no idea the pain would be excruciating and I’d get sick from the pain meds. One a a time seems gentler. Glad you’re okay!

Lol, that is a big bowl of cocktail sausages 😂. I don’t know why, but something about the presentation of them in a bowl is so funny.

I had all 4 wisdom teeth out last year at the same time so I share your pain! Here's to a speedy recovery! Edit: Tips! Don't pack cotton swabs onto the wound. When removing they can remove the clot and cause the site to re-bleed. Soups are your friend - especially something hearty like a potato & leek soup. Avoid dairy in the first few days as a curd can form on the wound and cause an infection. Other than that, rest up and take it easy! Good luck. Fighting!

Oh Emma, this is hilarious. I am so hoping you are feeling better, but thank you for this entertaining video.

I had all four of my wisdom teeth taken out a very long time ago when I was still in high school. After they put me under, I have no recollection of the rest of that day. Apparently I really wanted to hug people and watch movies. Thankfully, the pain wasn't too bad, but I've been told I have a higher-than-normal pain tolerance. Best of luck with your second operation, whenever that is, and thank you for the wonderful Fifty Shades of Grey content! :)

Please, we need to see the part 2 all the way to part 4! I felt so sad for you in the first bit, but the whole high-on-painkillers just made me laugh so hard, love your videos, you're an amazing person Emma!

I am so happy you had Taylor to look after you. Any sort of surgery really can mess with you and it's so important that we support each other when we need it.

Omg those Fifty Shades books were ridiculous. The sexy scenes were so often that I was just skimming past them lol.

You trying not to laugh made me laugh so much ... you have to film part 2 !

Naw! I feel your pain Emma. I had all 4 wisdom teeth out at once (one was also sideways) so thankfully I was put under general anaesthetic, but the recovery was not good. I didn’t have much pain, but a lot of swelling and the fear of pulling my stitches or doing any damage made me scared to eat, so I was on a mostly liquid diet for about 5 days. I was so disheartened by my progress at that point and felt like I was never going to be able to eat properly again, but turned a corner at that 1 week mark. I had lots of icy poles, lots of custards, yoghurts, soups etc. I was also given a head wrap with insertable ice packs, so I wore that a lot and think it helped with the swelling and bruising. You made it through and it was tough, but you can do it! That toof will only cause trouble and has to go. Good luck with round two!

Yo, this was a rough video to watch. I know the pain and I am surprised you felt good enough to make this video, let along maybe a part two.

I had bottom wisdom teeth removed (that I had for ~15 years) by an oral surgeon on 2 separate occasions under local anaesthetic. I asked about the possibility of removing both at once and the surgeon would not agree to that under any circumstances. His reasons were: - removing wisdom teeth (especially such old ones) is not the same as removing any other teeth; the procedure may be lengthy, require incisions, teeth may be attached to the jawbone, etc. - anaesthetic is much stronger than in other procedures - you might struggle with breathing, swelling can be really extensive so removing wisdom teeth on both sides can turn disastrous if a person can't breath due to either anaesthetic or swelling - after the procedure, you should eat / chew food on the opposite side of your mouth not only for your comfort but also to try and keep the wound as clean as possible - no respectable oral surgeon / dentist will put a patient under general anaesthetic if the local one is an option; the risks are just too high and there were plenty of cases of patients who never woke up again, even after simple tooth filling procedures

You really gave me hope for my surgery in August! Nice to see sb who does NOT just cry about it! Thank u! 💖🌻

Loved the video Emma! I got all 4 wisdom teeth removed when I was 16. Was super drugged up for nearly a week to the point that I can't recall pretty much anything. It's interesting that your dentist allowed you to pretty much eat whatever. I was advised to go on an all liquid diet, with exceptions to things like mushy noodles and ice cream. I broke the diet two days before my follow up appointment and they could tell I had been chewing, the food had gotten stuck in my wounds and I had to go on the liquid diet for another week. ALSO NO STRAWS, ANY SUCTION CAN CAUSE DRY SOCKET. That's when the blood clot that's healing in your wound is dislodged, exposing your bone/gums and can be extremely painful.

haha you were high out your mind at 5:12 🤣🤣🤣

When I got my wisdom teeth removed, they used laughing gas on me. They gave me 5 minutes to get myself under control since I was laughing a lot. I think I fell asleep too.

Having mine out was an awful experience... not really the removal part, but the recovery part. Good luck!🙂

i had all of mine out years ago but one thing that was very important was to keep the empty socket area moistened. Having it (to them in my case) dry out is exceedingly painful - so avoid it at all costs. Swishing with salt water and then spitting it out often helps the healing as well as avoiding infection. Good luck and so sorry you have to keep going through this!

I saw your IG stories and it was pretty funny, but this whole video is hilarious! I remember being so out of it when I got the wisdom teeth out... we did bottom/upper left, then few months later right ones...local anesthesia each time. and it was a whole lot of no fun... the only advice is taking it easy, pain meds pain meds pain meds, ice packs and eating watermelon and cantaloupe until I got sick of them. Good luck for the next one!

I had three pulled the same day, with local anaesthesia only! That was not fun at all, but not as bad as I feared. ;) I hope your next appointment goes well! Love from France 💕

This was much more entertaining than expected

I couldn’t stop laughing on the 50 Shades and Christians mother description 😂

Oh, Emma! I went through that years ago, but they did it all 4 at once, and it was at a teaching hospital, so who knows what kids had a go at my mouth. They also were impacted, so they were trying to uproot my other molars. I looked like pumpkin head and black and blue for six weeks. So much fun. Well, as someone older and wiser for the exoerience, don't let the pain get ahead of you. Don't wait until the pain get to where you can't stand it, becsuse by then, taking a pain pill is like pouring a cup of water on a house fire. I had a knee replacement 3-1/2 weeks ago, so I am suffering here with you. It's not so bad now; I actualky walked ariund Ikea for 3 hours yesterday. Can't keep girl down, I guess. Take care.

I loved every second of this video. You're a gem 😂

Wow, I would *not* want to have my wisdom teeth out one at a time. I had all four removed at once and, while it definitely sucked, the recovery was over pretty quickly-ish. I mean, at least it only happened once. Plus I had dissolving stitches as opposed to ones that needed to be removed which was nice. Glad to see you're feeling better and good luck with the next surgery. And cheers to your friend for helping out!

I've had all 4 removed. Over the course of a year or so. I was lucky in that it didn't hurt to much apparently the local drugs (anesthetic) worked quite well.

I am right there with you, I had to have all of my teeth removed in January so now I am a 25 year old man with dentures, which is pretty embarrassing honestly, but I have a beautiful smile now and have managed to lose almost 70lbs since then so it hasn't all been bad! As for the pain of having all of your teeth removed, I think I just got incredibly lucky or had the best oral surgeon on the planet, because I felt absolutely zero pain after everything was over with, never needed to take any of the pain meds, it was just a huge relief to have my broken teeth taken out that I had dealt with for almost 10 years. Long story short, I just want to remind everyone that it is incredibly important to take of yourselves, your own health is of the utmost importance. Sorry for the long comment, but I just wanted to share a bit and let you know it all gets so much better. Much love everyone.

Tips (I had all 4 out at once): -Prep in advance; a day or two before the surgery, acquire your soft things that can sit in the fridge or freezer for a bit (packs of ice cream, drinks, yogurt etc) or in the cupboard/pantry (packet/canned soup etc). -Get comforting foods, but a variety of them. Eating the same stuff gets reeeeeally boring. -Don't rush back to solid food if you're still bleeding or experiencing lots of pain. -Sideways wisdom tooth removal does hurt a little bit more. Make sure when you do your pre-surgery shop run to grab more ibuprofen. -See if Taylor B or another friend can come with again. -Give yourself permission to put your recovery first. Housework can wait a little if it needs to. -If you don't feel well enough to read, but want to read, there's audiobooks. As a suggestion to read next, I'd be interested in your thoughts on Guards! Guards! by Sir Terry Pratchett.

Ice! Ice! Ice! Like all the time. I wrapped 2 little ice packs to my face with an ace bandage made such a difference in swelling and pain. Good luck

I got all 4 wisdom teeth out at once with only local anesthetic and it was a nightmare, my whole face was swollen for weeks and I got an infection in my jaw and then had an allergic reaction to the antibiotics 😰I'm glad you're only doing one at a time and that you have such wonderful friends to support you!!! 💕I hope your other extractions go well too!

oh lady, i know i'm just a random subscriber that comments every few months but i had to have three out last year, all just without general anaesthetic too, and my Dr wouldn't take them out in one go either. I can really relate to that watermelon scene, it takes so long to chew anything! You're a trooper!

Sympathy on having to get this done. At least the dentist's now are really good. When I had mine done over 20 years ago the dentist put his shoulder out taking one of them out!

I didn't expect this video to be that funny. 😂 Thank you for sharing and hope you get well soon after the second surgery too.

Your hair looks amazing! Loving the side part, it suits you really well!

Please make a part 2, we need more drugged Emma

Your videos make me so happy, like you’re the only RU-vidr I found then immediately started binging all videos of, hi from Australia💞💞

For the next tooth, I advise taking the painkillers starting from just before you have the surgery. That’s what I did for a double extraction with bone removal and stitches, and took the painkillers at regular intervals for 48 hours, and I felt no pain at all. I was very lucky.

High-on-painkillers Emma is like the mystery anime character you didn’t know you’d love 😂 every time you tried not to laugh cracked me right up and 50 shades reviews 😂 glad you’ve recovered 💕

oh I feel for you Emma!! I had all 4 of mine done at once under local anesthesia (no laughing gas). I didn't get stitches, no pain killers either!! I have a small mouth so my bottom ones were pushing my teeth together too much as well. My top ones they said had to come out as well since they could have done the same thing even though I have a gap in my front two teeth (and I could have handled those getting pushed together). When you go to get your other ones done, I suggest before doing it, take some tylenol (that should help with the pain after, and it's not going to make you bleed more during the surgery unless they tell you specifically not to take any OTC pain meds). Maybe they could also give you some different pain medication as I feel maybe you had a sensitivity to the ones you were given this time (unless this is how you react to all pain meds that are prescription, cuz that is how I react to prescription pain meds, I actually get loopy like I'm high on something). During recovery, I spent 4 miserable days in pain and took tylenol and ibuprofen but it didn't stop the socket pain the first 2 days. I didn't eat a whole lot of foods, and did drink a lot of water. For the foods I did eat, it was mostly mashed potatoes, anything cold like shakes or something easy to spoon into my mouth and swallow without chewing.

I am so happy you came out of anaesthesia laughing, when I had my wisdom teeth removed I came out sad and devastated and was sure that my sister was dead, and I made my mom who is my ride call her to make sure she was still alive. My friends and Medicine say typically people come out laughing or crying, so I'm glad you had a positive experience xoxoxoxo

You are always cute and funny, but this was another level! Poor Emma... I have somehow made it to 40 without needing to have my wisdom teeth removed, and I hope to keep it that way. Good luck with the next one!

I got four removed, one side at a time, at the hospital. The reason they gave me for not doing the bottom ones at the same time is that the swelling, if extreme enough, can block (part of) your throat, which is no bueno of course. Also, I got two weeks worth of painkillers (600 mg ibuprofen, which you can only get with a prescription here) and I needed all of them the second time! Crazy to me you only got three days (I think?). My bottom ones were horizontal though, so it was quite a bit of work to get them out. My doctor was awesome btw, didn't feel the injections with local anesthetic at all. Hi from a long time viewer from The Netherlands! Discovered you through your tiny appartement house tour and stayed ever since. I never comment, but watch most of your videos ❤

I got half of my wisdom teeth out with local anesthetic too and I haven't been able to bring myself to do it again since the other two don't bother me yet... BUT I have a couple tips for anyone who will be doing the same thing! 1) Make a loud playlist of music to bring and listen to if you can while getting the teeth taken out to keep you distracted from what's going on in your mouth and 2) As soon as you get home swap out the guaze in your mouth for a tea bag (wet it in warm water first)! Apparently the tannins in the tea help stop the bleeding but even if that's not true, I used peppermint & black tea bags and the taste hid the blood for the most part and it actually felt kind of nice. Good luck!!

I literally just had mine pulled out a week ago. Just the top ones.

Awww I hope you feel better soon

OOUUCHH!!! Only one at a time, just get all 4 done and over with... or just get all 2 out, whatever you need, why one at a time, that's like double the experience (and post-discomfort). I got all 4 out at one time, got loopy and my sis drove me home, stayed home for about 2 days of discomfort and then 2 weeks of getting adjusted to the gap. Hope you feel better with the 2nd one. Haha!! Yes, more loopy Emma videos, especially if she's forgotten she filmed it hahah!!

listening to you laugh about 50 shades of grey is the best thing ever

I've tried writing a comment 3 times and it always sounds wrong so apologies in advance. Thank you for sharing this, it made me laugh (in a good way!) and I do empathise with you. I had to have a tooth out under anastetic many years ago and I thought the nurse was kidnapping me as I came round and I was kicking and fighting! I'm glad you had a Taylor to go with you and that you've recovered well. Take care

Respect for the local anesthetic kids. I got all 4 of mine out at once on local (my doctor was a wizard and the whole thing was done in 45 minutes, I'm not even kidding). I believe in a gentle saltwater rinse, tasty smoothie combos, and soup as some of the best things during recovery.

I got my wisdom teeth out two by two, one side and then the other a couple weeks after, local anaesthetic as well, when I was 14-15 years old I think. That was quite impressive since he had to dig into my gums to take the teeth out (and damn there was a lot of sparks coming out of my mouth, but it was normal ^^). He did it very quickly and very efficiently. I did suffer a lot since there was a heatwave and it really didn't help. I used to put ice cubes in a little pouch and basically keeping it on my jaw to help with the pain and I actually didn't swell that much. Good luck with the surgery and the recovery!! Sending good vibes to you!

Could be a lot worse. Mine was removed without any stitches on the wound. That means relying on a good blood clot, which didn't happen. The result was exposed bone or dry socket. Believe me, there's nothing more painful. To top it off, there was a nice hole straight into my sinus, meaning water would come out of my nose when rinsing the area with salt water.

I had to go through this with all 4 widom teeth. One of them was sideways as well but thankfully I didn't have any problems recovering. However, I did struggled a lot with one because they pulled it out so bad that I couldn't open my mouth at all, that one was the worse. I know how you feel Emma. Keep thinking positive on the next removal. Eat that ice cream and soups. Also, this vlog was so funny, I have read 50 shades books as well and let me tell you I couldn't handle the tampon scene, I had to take a break from that. 🙃

Hey. Just a random observation.. I started watching you right around the time the tiny house vid blew up and back then you sounded so Aussie but your accent has changed so much since being in Japan. It's still there, obviously but it's not as prominent as it once was. Hope you're well!

Emma deserves many likes for this vid

Oh, you poor thing... I remember that misery. Big gentle hugs and healing to you!

I love Taylor and I miss her vids!

We need a part two with more drugged Emma! I had to get all 4 taken out at once. Thanks to some medication I was on for a short period, my mouth dried out and 3 of the 4 practically disintegrated in that month. I was taking aspirin every day because I had to wait nearly a month (was in school 3 hours from home and needed to finish the semester). I was TERRIFIED of being put under, and would've preferred the local anesthesia, but they didn't give me that option. Luckily I didn't get much swelling, if at all, but one of the painkillers was upsetting my stomach, so I opted to just be in pain in my mouth than my stomach trying to empty everything. Learned years later that ibuprofen uses lactose as a leveling agent, and I am lactose-intolerant.

Oh no, Emma! I had one of my wisdom teeth taken out when I was in Saga. I was really apprehensive about the whole process, because I don't like any type of medical procedure, so my adopted Japanese mother took me. If she hadn't of, I probably would have backed out. I arrived at about 4:30pm and left the dentist office at 7:00pm. I wasn't put under either, it was just local. My Japanese mother told them that I don't like needles, so they used some gel first to numb my mouth, then applied the needle, so I didn't know when they did it. I kind of just zoned out after that. It felt like at times that the dentist was going to yank my jaw off, but he was very thorough and got all shards of the tooth out. The healing process was another thing I was worried about, but it the wound healed relatively quickly, and I didn't have any problems like dry socket. I do have to eventually get my other one out, but I am not sure if I'll be up for that adventure again. Haha. I'm glad it all worked out for you, and that you had someone to take care of you straight afterward.

I feel so bad for you but also really bad for me bacause I laughed a lot watching this video lol. So sorry, Emma. Hope you get better.

Hi Emma, I had all four of mine out. I was advised to gently swish warmish salted water after eating to ensure food wasnt sticking to my stiches. Other than that I lived on soft foods and cool not cold drinks. Ice packs are great too, you can get some cute mini ones from daiso. Good luck!

I got 4 teeth removed in December last year but went under for it at hospital. Luckily I had no pain other than the discomfort after waking up initially. I will however stress that infection control is key. I had a tooth removed about 10 years ago and it got a little infected, IT WAS NOT FUN. Keep it all super clean, rinse gently with warm salt water and you’re good 👍🏼 also no straws! I think that’s how my first one got messed up. You got this

When I had my wisdom teeth out I did both at once from the bottom and I literally ate mashed potatoes and had fever dreams for a week.

Totally agree with not using a straw! I stuck to cold/cool/tepid food for a while. An ice-pack helps with the swelling too. In Australia, I had 4 wisdom teeth out in the chair with only a local. You can take paracetamol and ibuprofen at the same time or spaced apart. The receptionist (who was an ex-pharmacist) recommended I take Panadol and Nurofen 2 hours apart from each other (and 4 hours apart from the same type). I had a few stitches and my face was swollen for a week or so, but I had very little pain. I think it's because I was managing it every 2hrs instead of every 4-6 if I'd only been taking one or the other. But everyone is different!

I was only born with 3 and had them all removed when I was 18! Doctor put me under and I’m glad he did. They were cut out and I had minimal swelling, had a chocolate shake and French fries a few hours later. Be careful about dry socket though!! 😭
