Wisdom teeth coming out tomorrow, a little nervous, any advice?!


Question: Wisdom teeth coming out tomorrow, a little nervous, any advice!?
Answers:
Just relax and don't stress out about it!. It's nothing to worry about!. I really hate dental work, so getting a surgery in my mouth was no fun for me to think about either!. But I just had four of my wisdom teeth removed last week (they were all impacted too), and I can tell you that it is not worth worrying about!.

They will give you a gas mask for oxygen and they also say they will give you some laughing gas!. Most of the time, the laughing gas will make you feel a bit light-headed and relaxed so you won't even notice if they put the IV in you!. For me, the laughing gas has no effect on me so I was completely conscious for the IV!. The surgeon put a rubber band around my arm so they could see the veins more clearly and it was a tiny pinch and the IV was injected!. It feels just like a small shot!. You will fall asleep in literally less than half a minute so you won't even get much of a chance to see anything!. The actual operation takes about 5-6 minutes per tooth!. And after they are finished, it will usually take you about 10 minutes to wake up!. But the whole thing really only feels like a minute!.

As long as you use general anesthesia, and take your painkillers on a tight schedule, and follow your doctor's instructions on post-operative care, you will be fine!. I haven't had any real pain with the surgery yet, and almost no swelling!. So, don't worry about it!. Your stressing out is actually the hardest part of the procedure!. That's what will make you most uncomfortable!. But trust me, once you get into that chair and they put you on the IV, you won't even get a chance to worry about it!. You will fall asleep and a minute later, you're done and out of there!. Really!.

So, good luck =) Hope all goes well for you tomorrow and hope you have a quick recovery!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I am in the exact same situation, go in tomorrow, 3 of mine are impacted!. i am super nervous, glad im going under totally but scared of waking up in pain but from most accounts it is all ok, im trying to distract myself and not think about it, as it really isnt major surgery and this time next week will all be over!. the positive stories have helped, so thanks!

Like the others have said, you'll be fine!. Just take your pain killers as prescribed for the first couple days as that will be when the pain is at it's worst (but even that's not that bad)!.And put ice on your cheeks for at least the first day!. That will help with the pain, and also make it so you don't swell up too bad!. Oh, and eat soft foods for a few days!.

Try not to worry yourself over this though!. It's really not as bad as you think it's going to be!. I was terrified to get mine out, but I had no pain at all! (two were impacted, two were just barely above the gumline)!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

relax!.!.!.!.!.wisdom teeth extraction has come along way in the past 5-7 years!.!.!.it's virtually painless!. You'll be prescribed some good painkillers, which do wonders!. Slight discomfort is the most "pain" you'll feel, and that's not even that bad, really!. Good luck tomorrow, but please don't worry or be nervous!.!.!.!.you'll be surprised how easy it is =)Www@Answer-Health@Com

Don't worry, it's not bad at all!. I also had all 4 removed at once, with two impacted!. Like the other answerer said, make sure to take your painkillers as prescribed!. They will do wonders!. Make sure you have soft foods to eat for a few days!. Be prepared for swelling--I had chipmunk cheeks for a while! LOL

Goodluck, and don't worry!. I had to have oral surgery for the impacted ones, but even that was no problem!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
