Wisdom teeth out tommorow words of encouragement please

Hi,

A few hours ago i was called with a cancellation appiontment to have a wisdom tooth cut out and another tooth out that grew at the back of my front teeth.

I am totally bricking it, not the pain, that i can handle .Its the thought of the kind of anaestetic they give u and also the though of them knocking my front teeth out by accident!

My stomach is in knots, i have an image of me coming out with a face like the elephat man and no front teeth!!!!

Any advice on recovery? how long, what should i eat etc!

I just recently, one week ago today, had all four of my wisdom teeth removed. And like you are right now I was in complete anxiety in the days leading up to my appointment. I was worried about the needles, the drilling, the blood, (I read somewhere that some patients wake up and puke due to the amount of blood they swallow).

But the whole procedure went fine. Even kind of.. Relaxing. I was in a half awake, half asleep state. I was still capable of moving my legs and arms but my whole body felt like I had just received the best massage of my life. And, as soon as the anesthetics kick in you kind of just want to laugh at everything.

The after though is kind of rough. Get your pain killer prescription filed ASAP. You鈥檒l need them when the numbness finally wears off. The things that bothered me the most after the first couple of days was the swelling, the food, and your other teeth become some-what sensitive. Now a week later I鈥檓 still not fully comfortable eating. (Today I had a sandwich and that proved to be difficult and annoying). But I鈥檓 bothered now only by the stitches.
