Hey, You will be fine. I had all 4 of mine taken out at the same too, and i am happy to say I had a very good experience. After it was done, I did was not swollen like some people :( get, and the day of i went home and kept ice on for 30 min intervals, and took it off and put it back on etc...you will get a paper with tips on after surgery care.
As for before, Are getting sedated? I did, and i was told not to eat the night before after and the morning of surgery.
Good luck
Are you sleeping through it or just sitting through it? Well if you are just sticking through it without sleeping I can't tell you much but.. after the operation you'll have a fun time swapping cotton pads/balls from your cheeks every so often. It will get a bit messy because of the blood/mucus mix.
You also won't be able to eat anything hard for awhile, maybe 2-3 days. Stick with soup, pudding, anything that can be swallowed easily.
Good luck!
Since we have no idea how easy or hard these teeth will be to remove it is really hard to say. Best advice I can give is to load up on anti-inflammatories before the surgery. That means for 2-3 days before take a regular dose of Ibuprofen/advil/motrin. I tell patients 400mg every 6 hours for 2days. That is as long as you can take Ibuprofen. By the time you have your surgery, you will have a good dose of painkiller and anti-inflammatory in your bloodstream.
Good luck, I am sure it will be just fine.
Are they being cut out or pulled out? I had all mine pulled out about two weeks ago. I was awake for it, and it wasn't that bad. My mouth feels a lot better, too.
