I'm getting my wisdom teeth out...how can I quit freaking out about it?!
Question:
I'm getting my wisdom teeth out...how can I quit freaking out about it?
The thing I'm most afraid of is waking up and throwing up because of all that gauze in my mouth. I gag for any little thing and just the thought of stuff in my mouth is making me sick. Any tips?
Answers:
I just had all 4 out. It's not real fun, but you will get through it. The gauze was not a big problem- it's actually some pretty small pieces of gauze that you bite down on to stop the bleeding. You will be totally done with the gauze after the first day, and you'll probably only have to use it rarely if at all after the first 2 hours. I actually liked the gauze- it somehow seemed like my surgical holes hurt less when I was chomping on the gauze.
Don't worry, you'll be fine!
