I won't tell you not to be scared or nervous, it's only natural that you are. I was scared too but I had a good doctor & nurses. I had to be knocked out too. I was out before I could start counting. But once it was over, I didn't have much pain, hardly any bleeding, a little soreness of the gums where they cut & my jaw a little. I strictly followed the doctor's orders.
A week later, I went back for a follow-up visit & my suttures were taken out. The doctor was very pleased at how well I healed. The only thing for me was that I got so tired of eating apple sauce, scrambled eggs, pudding, etc. I love those things but after eating them the entire week, I was ready for some hearty food. And I lost 5 lbs.
Follow the doctor's orders & you will be fine.
If they can't break them and pull them out they will probably have to cut them out with a sharp knife. You will bleed like a stuck pig but like you said you will be out so don't worry about it. Just be prepared to put a towel over your pillows at night because you will be bleeding for a few days out your mouf!
I had mine out a long time ago, 4 impacted teeth. I was also put under. It turned out to be OK. I didn't remember anything and woke up after wards with a mouth full of packing. They will inject painkillers in the area they work on and will give you a prescription, too. I was able to eat soup that night and the stitches fell out 3 or 4 days later. The thing that hurt the worst was my jaw muscles from them having my mouth open so wide for such a long time. Just follow their directions and you will be fine.
my wisdom teeth weren't impacted but i had to get my removed. mine was virtually painless bc they give u really good pain medicine so u dont feel anything. it was prolly the easiest procedure i've ever had done. and if i had to i'd do it again. i didn't bleed nor did i swell. only bad thing was you cant drink outta a straw and you cant eat real food until the stitches dissolve.. which they do in about 2 or 3 wks.
