I am getting 4 wisdom teeth cut out tommorow! I am so scared!?
I had 4 impacted wisdom teeth out at once. I remember the gas, then asked the assistant when they would start. She said it was OVER! I was drowsy for an hour, then rested for a couple of days. Not bad at all.
Reply:Trust me, dont be afraid of the surgery part. I got all four out this summer. Iv will be a little prick and then you will fall asleep. When you wake up you won't feel a thing where the IV was. When you wake up you will be dizzy, but in no pain at all, just very numb. Make sure the dr gives you tylenol 3 or any painkiller, you will be fine. Don't worry,
Reply:i just got my wisdom teeth pulled a couple months ago, and i was scared too. it's not as bad as everyone makes it out to be. the IV needle does hurt a bit, but not enough to stress about. the worst part i would say is the recovering part. My mouth was numb for about 8 hours after the procedure. An the pain isnt all that bad, with the pain meds you get its not that bad.
Reply:They will probably put you on nitrous before they us the IV. This means you won't feel the IV. Afterwards that pain will not be horrible. You'll be numb for the majority of the day you have them out, so you really won't feel anything tomorrow. They'll likely give you some really strong to help with the pain. A lot of people are out and about the first day anyway.
Reply:Don't worry and trust me you would rather have them cut out than pulled. Cut out is so much less pain, and in my opinion you will recover quicker. What you should do is take a pain killer before you even go to the doctor that way you are already on a pain killer when they cut them out and when you get you perscription take on ASAP. You will be alright
Reply:I had mine done 8 years ago. Just so happens one of the meds they prescribed me I ended up being allergic to...(we didn't know I was allergic, I was only 18 when I had them done and was hardly subjected to any medicine) But one of the drugs they gave me made my O2 stats drop to the 40's. I was rushed to the ER after only being home 30 minutes.





I hate to put down such negativity and debated on whether to write this at all, but I just want you to be aware of what you take afterwards and have someone with you when you are home so they can keep an eye on you. Good luck!! I'm sure I'm just one of those 1 in a million oddballs. :)
Reply:Firstly no one likes needles they suck and if you did like it there would be a problem. Ask the anesthesiologist to put some emla cream on the IV site B4 the Iv is placed. Secondly there will be some discomfort after the extractions and possible bruising. But in the end the pain of the impacted wisdom teeth will be gone. There is nothing i can really do to help calm you but to let you know that this procedure will help you in the long run. Yep it will be painful at first but your doc should give you a script for tyleno 3s i think??? Oh just incase they forget to tell you DO NOT drink through a straw, smoke or rinse your mouth after this is done as you need to form a clot in the sockets. This sounds weird but you dont want dry socket....trust me...from a PDA
Reply:I just had this procedure done last week. There is nothing to be scared of. I was terrified myself, and I found out that I had gotten all worked up for nothing! It was actually not a big deal. I had an IV sedation ... they give you "laughing gas" first so you don't even feel anything. I woke up during the extraction, but just told myself to go back to sleep and I did. Mine had to be cut out too, and I am just fine. Make sure that you follow all the directions from your dentist and you will also be fine.


So you have nothing to worry about.
