Wisdom tooth extraction?!

Wisdom tooth extraction?

my girl friend is having her wisdom teeth extracted and the dentist said that they would have 2 use a hammer and chisle. she wants me 2 go in with her for 2 reasons so i can b there for her and so i can see what its like. (i want to be a dentist). what should i expect and what will it be like for me and her?

thanks

I got my wisdom teeth out the other week, and I was knocked out completely. If your girlfriend's going to be sedated, than she won't remember anything from the operation. All she'll remember is getting the IV inserted into her arm and than waking up after the doctor is finished. Afterwards, there will probably be some swelling and she'll have to keep cotton in her mouth to prevent excessive bleeding. I'd have jello and puddings on hand for her to eat for the first couple of days.

I don't know if the dentist will actually let you sit in on the proceedure. When someone tried to sit in on mine, they wouldn't let them. I'd be sure to check with the dentist before the proceedure, especially if your girlfriend's relying on you being there - that way she won't have her hopes up for nothing.

But, if they do let you sit in on it, I'd expect a lot of blood. You might not be able to see very much, since everyone will be working inside of the mouth.

Hope that helps.
