Super scared about wisdom teeth removal this Friday!?

So I am having oral surgery this Friday to remove all 4 of my wisdom teeth. The 2 up top are poking through but not completely...and my bottom ones are impacted. The 2 up top are the ones bothering me and irritating my cheeks/gums. My bottom ones I don't seem to have any trouble with. *BUT* if I am going to go through this I'd rather only do it once and go for all 4. Anyways, I realize that millions of people have gone through this and that it's a common thing, but I am 100% petrified! I was ok when I made the appointment but now that is only days away I'm freaking out. My stomach is in knots and I know it will only get worse closer to Friday. And I know that looking up pictures and reading experiences on the internet is only making me more scared. Can I can get some words of encouragement and some non-scary stories to try to help me calm my nerves!!! Thanks ya'll!

Super scared about wisdom teeth removal this Friday!?
it is honestly the easiest dental procedure possible for you. i am terrified of the dentist! but this was the greatest experience ever! i went in, got a small prick in my arm, counted backwards from 10(i only remember getting to 9) and then i woke up and was done! if only ALL my dental visits could be this easy!





discomfort afterwards was VERY minimal and i have like ZERO pain tolerance, even after 3 kids!





good luck and seriously dont worry!
Reply:i got it done about 6 months ago, they knock you out with nitrous and you wake up an hour later with swollen gums. it is kind of painful for about a week or so afterwards, but with the painkiller meds they give you, its bearable...
Reply:Ok. I had mine done when i was 17. So did most of my sisters. They put me on that gas (what do they call it laughing gas for pain?) so i was still awake but couldnt feel anything.. I was in a chair mostly in sitting up position. It was quick.. pretty easy and feels much better after than having those things poking threw. After you will get rest %26amp; sleep. Having tonsils taken out was worse.. this will be pretty easy for you.


Dont worry %26amp; quit doing research on it lol. Just let it be:)p
Reply:I had two bottom wisdom teeth removed. The surgery itself is not painful.....you will be given a prescription for pain medicine for afterward, have it filled asap - to avoid unecessary discomfort. It's better to have it done now, than to wait. - besides, it will most certainly benefit you and prevent damage to your teeth and gums.


Don't worry, just relax - it will all be over soon. :)
Reply:I enjoyed getting those stupid wisdom teeth out. I kept biting my cheek, obviously no room in my gums for an extra set of teeth!





They will knock you out and yeah you will be sore for a few days, but you'll be fine. Best wishes!
Reply:First make sure that your dentist is using the strongest knock out stuff he can use. The ones that give you a pill , or an IV and then a ton of Novocaine are the best ..for me once the procedure was done...the rest of it was not so bad 'cause I knew it was over! Your mouth willbe swollen and hurt bad foabout 48 hours. If you have anything that will help you sleep that would be good. He will send you home with pain medication..(an Rx) ask him to prescribe the strongest med. he can and also something to help you sleep. BEA BIG BABY!! This is one thing you don't have to be tough about! I don't know who you have taking you .. but they better be really nice!! You will need someone really nice!!! Anyway...long story, short version. It's not fun...all you should feel when they pull the teeth is pressure. If you feel anything else YELL...you don't have to have pain during this part. You will have enough after(I'm sorry ..I just had to say that..)....but just keep thinking "this is as bad as it's ever going to be...I did it I'm done..I went to the mountain and conquered it!!! good luck...email me tomorrow ..(if you're not dead) and tell me how it went. I'm kidding you shall not die! ♥ ♥


"this to shall pass" ♥
Reply:Yikes! Do not look at pictures on the internet! Thank God it never occured to me to look up the procedure. All I know is that I am terrified of the dentist in general, and put off having my wisdom teeth pulled for years because I was so anxious. This despite the fact my cheeks bled every time the teeth came in, and I could hardly chew because of the pain. But I'd heard everybody's horror stories (especially my mother's, as she got up in the middle of her procedure and left!), and was certainly no glutton for punishment. I stressed and put off doing it for a long time, told myself it was too expensive, freaked out before I went, couldn't sleep the night before, etc. But, as it turned out, the whole thing was completely fine! It was totally one of those "what was the big deal about that?" sort of events. I had hardly any soreness after all four were pulled. I had it done on a Friday, and my cheeks were ridiculously puffy afterwards, but I felt fine the whole time. I drank smoothies, slept a lot on Saturday, and by Sunday I even looked normal. My husband told me that when he got his pulled he went to a party that same night. It was a complete non-event in my life, and I honestly hadn't even thought of it again before I read your post (I happened to be looking up orthodontist information for my daughter!). You will be completely fine! Take advantage of the time to get some rest, watch old movies, and just take it easy afterwards!
Reply:I had all 4 wisdoms removed and all were impacted.





You will be in pain for about 1 week to 10 days. But your doc will prescribe you some good pain medication. As long as you take the medication as prescribed you will be fine!!





Don't forget to take your pain meds because once the meds are out of your body it becomes hard to control the pain again.





Its not that bad. No seriuosly it really isn't!! You will need to ice your face for the first 48hrs.





My advice is eat lots of foods before this Friday. Pack on some calories because once the teeth are removed you will be only able to eat soft foods for a while.





Make sure you get rest, and lots of! This will def speed up the healing process and deminish your pain. Just make sure you sleep on 2-3 pillows and don't lay flat or the swelling will increase.





In just a week you will be much better, and in two weeks you will be great.





Stop worrying you will be fine.
Reply:Dooont worry i ve had maaany friends who've done it my mom has too all u have to do is rest ur pretty head on the dentists chair and in 1 hour ull wake up prety numb and u might get pain after the numbness goes which takes a while ur dentist should give u antibiotics (however u spell it) so take them before the numbness fades away and in about 2-5 days ull be juuust peachy keen fine xP
Reply:I'm the biggest baby and I survived having mine done. Make sure you take the pain meds. on time before you're in a lot of pain. I had 2 done at a time with just Novocaine. Once it's done you'll never have to worry about it agian.
Reply:I just got mine out 4 days ago, and I am one that is amazingly scared of the dentist. They used IV Sedation to take out mine. I don't remember a whole lot except for the car ride home. I had prepared myself for the worst imaginable pain and what not, and to my surprise it is not as painful as I thought. I just made sure to not drink out of a straw and all that other stuff they tell you, I mostly have drank Boost, and made Boost shakes for something to eat. Tonight I managed to have some mashed potatoes. Its okay, and the good thing is that it will be over before you know it! Hang in there and let me know how it goes when its all over!

I got my teeth taken out when I was 17 ..so that was two years ago. I had all four taken out....yay me....





Anyway...I wasn't actually scared about the surgery ...well not as much as having them stick an IV needle in me. I'm so scared of needles!! Well what I did was stay up all night watching movies and enjoying myself as much as possible until 10 A.M. when I had to get there. I was so dog gone tired that it didn't really bother me to have her poke me. I was just like "give me that drugs already so I can sleep". The only thing bad for me was it took her three tries for her to get the needle in me. I thought I was going to strangle her...but I was so tired that I just started laughing. ....Then I closed my eyes and focused on sleep. I think I woke up around 6-6:30 P.M. I felt actually pretty good ...it was the next day when I puffed up that was hard for me.





I CAN'T STRESS THE NEED TO SLEEP WITH YOUR HEAD ELEVATED....IT WILL REDUCE YOUR SWELLING.





Continued....





When I got home I had to use ibuprofen to kill the pain because my mom refused to let me have the stronger stuff. Of course that didn't kill the pain at all ....well at least not for the first two days or so. So it was kinda hard for me I guess. But I think having trouble eating was the next hard thing for me. I was so scared to eat anything for fear that it would get infected. My doc told me to swish warm water with salt disolved in it to clean my stiches. Do this after you eat....or more if you want to. Mine didn't get infected and I didn't puff up that much either...but just being slightly puffy is enough to make me unhappy.





Oh I forgot to mention when you go ...go in your most comfortable sleepware. ....your just going to sleep all day anyway.





***My doctor drilled a hole all the way through two of them so I kept them and put them on a necklace as a reminder. I thought I'd keep them because it's like wisdom on a string.


I know it's kinda weird....





GOOD LUCK!!!!!
