Question:
What is the exact procedure for getting wisdom teeth out?
from when they call you in from the waiting room until you go home. i`m getting them out in a week and i`m a bit nervous. i would jusut like to know exactly what you have to do.
Answers:
First of all, are you getting them surgically removed or pulled? If you're getting them surgically removed, here's how it goes.
Check in at reception desk. Fill out paperwork. Wait for awhile (maybe). Go into initial exam area, and possibly sign some releases and pay. Nurse will explain some things to you and ask if you have any questions. You will be put in a room (just like a dentists office) and they might put some gas on you to relax you. The gas made me about freak out, so I told them to knock it off. They'll give you an IV in your arm or hand to administer the sleepy meds. They'll probably put a bib on you and maybe prop your mouth open. Then they'll let you know they're putting the meds in your IV and then you'll wake up after it's all done and won't have remembered anything. You'll pass out immediately after the meds are given. When you wake up you'll be in a recovery area and they will probably have an ice pack around your head. You'll sit there for 20-30 minutes and then wheel you out to someone waiting to drive you home. You won't be able to eat that day (except liquidy stuff, applesauce, etc.) You'll be groggy all day and tired!!!!!!!!!! Good luck. Mine didn't hurt too bad. It was annoying though cause food got stuck in the holes.
**Sorry it's long, but you wanted the whole shabang. I was really nervous too but it's nothing. In and out!**
