Getting wisdom teeth pulled out tomorrow, I'm Scared!?!
Question: Getting wisdom teeth pulled out tomorrow, I'm Scared!.?
I don't know why but I am scared about getting my wisdom teeth pulled out tomorrow. I am getting knocked out for the procedure but I am scared about what it is going to be like when I wake up. If you had to give the rating of pain from 1-10 what would you give the pain level. I have one soft tissue impacted and the others are already fully in. I don't know if that changes things or not. also one of my teeth beside the wisdom teeth that is impacted has caused my other tooth to get a really bad cavity, which I was told probably needs a root canal, I am scared about that as well. When I got braces I had 4 other teeth pulled to make room for the braces, is it anything like that.? Anyone with any advice on how to relax or how there procedure was I would really appreciate it! Thanks!Health Question & Answer

Everyone is different, my friend got all 4 removed and was drinking a beer the next day; I, on the other hand, was in so much pain that I couldn't work for a week and literally looked like a got punched on both sides of my face. The worst part was the headache that didn't go away for 3 weeks.

I can't really help you with the root canal, but I think I can help with the wisdom teeth. I personally had 12 teeth pulled total for braces-related reasons, some baby, some adult, and I just recently got my wisdom teeth out.
About the procedure: I got into the dentist's office and they gave me laughing gas, then they gave me general anesthetic which put me right to sleep. I woke up apparently an hour later. You'll probably be nervous and scared but once you get in there and they give you laughing gas, you'll relax without even trying. I am petrified of needles so I hate getting teeth pulled but I can tell you honestly that I was out of it before the procedure even started. Don't worry about it.
The simplest thing and hopefully the most helpful thing I can tell you about afterwords is that it feels just like getting your other teeth pulled out. There are only two differences I can think of.
1. The pain is just like getting your other teeth out, not more painful or less, but it lasts longer (in days)
2. Even though it hurts a lot, you can eat sooner since wisdom teeth are pretty out of the way from where we usually chew.
Good luck!Health Question & Answer

in 1985, when I had mine dug out I went out the night before to Bourbon St in New Orleans, was at the dentist office for 7 am; I went home to sleep; then got up on my own for 6 am the next day to go down a river in an inner tube -- having fun; I got separated from my group of friends who had my meds. so all the other groups of tubers were giving me handfuls of ice. I didn't have much pain; the ice was to bring the swelling down. No need to be scared, worried, or whatever.
Relax, the more you relax the less you might feel; beg these people to NOT tell you when you are about to get stuck w/ the needle. When we here "quick prick" we automatically tense up, its a natural thing. but if you don't know when its coming you might not feel it.Health Question & Answer
