Question: I have to get my wisdom teeth removed and I am really nervous!.
I just want to know what I will expect!. Will it be better to just get local anesthesia or be put under!. I can handle pain but it is the anxiety I get before going!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
if you're nervous, you should at least get the light sedation which makes you drowsy but doesn't put you out all the way- you know what's going on, but you don't really care! My daughter recently had her wisdom teeth done this way and she liked it!. Now, after the surgery- depending on if the teeth are out and just need to be pulled or if they are under the gum and they need to be cut out- you'll have varying degrees of pain probably!. Some people with a high threshold for pain are only mildly bothered and some, like my daughter, are in some pretty severe pain for a couple of days!. You'll either be given a prescription for pain meds or told to take tylenol or ibuprofen for a few days!. Eat soft foods like pudding, soup (not hot though), jello, milkshakes (but you can't use a straw), mashed potatoes (buy instant!), etc!. Don't smoke if you do (I hope you don't) as the inhaling motion will loosen the blood clots needed to heal- same theory as for using a straw!. I promise you'll get through it- try to be relaxed and think nice thoughts- it really helps! Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
Be put under! I had all four impacted in bone and it was three hours, they had to crack into my jaw to get them out!. The percosets were amazing and I got a lot of mashed potatoes and icecream!. Not a terrible ordeal except the bruising!. Get out of a week of school, make sure you don't schedule it right before the prom, and you'll be fine!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I got mine pulled last Friday!. I was nervous like you too!. It's normal but I got the iv and was put under!. I think that's the best way to go!. Before they give you the iv just ask for laughing gas and you will be fine!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
