Wisdom teeth surgery

So im getting my wisdom teeth out tommorrow which ive always worried about. My tooth kept getting infected so i was on antibiotics but i just checked and now they all look infected and im scared because i have been feeling super sick over my full body lately and ive never felt this way and im terrified that something is going to go terribly wrong. I just feel it in my gut, but if i dont get them out ill keep getting infections and im worried ill die. Either way im convinced i will die and i just know it by how sick i feel all over. Im getting shakes and sweats and i wish i could get a guarantee before my surgery that nothing is wrong because i bet they will find out im not ok

I had four wisdom teeth out and two bonus teeth hiding behind them lol and I was super scared too. You’re in safe hands getting your teeth sorted out. You don’t even have to go under, you can literally do it awake with pain relief and numbing injections. But either way you will be so much better afterwards! The apprehension you have is just anxiety. That’s it, plain and simple. Anxiety or ocd begs us for guarantees. It’s so hard to accept, I know. Just go with the flow, you can do this. Come back and let us know how you feel afterwards!

When I got my wisdom teeth out I was freaking out and they made me watch some scary video beforehand. I asked them people if anyone has died from the surgery and they said they had never heard of that happening, I think they get that a lot. If it makes you feel better, mine were super impacted and I woke up from the surgery and had zero pain, even after a few days, no pain, and everything was good

I was so so scared to get my wisdom teeth out too! All 4 of mine were impacted so it took a while to get them all out. But my recovery was super smooth! I just ate soft foods and relaxed for a couple days and then within probably 5 days I was back to normal! I know it’s so scary, and I’m sending you love❤️

needing a big wave of support

So, health concern OCD is a big subtype that I struggle with. I’m barely ever in really bad shape in my health but it doesn’t stop me from worrying about having everything under the sun. I have a pretty gnarly gum abscess near my wisdom tooth and am FINALLY pulling the trigger on getting all 4 wisdom teeth ripped out next month. I have never been under anesthesia before. And I can’t tell you how terrified I am. I have been crying and having panic attacks every single day since the decision made by me and my dentist. I’m nervous about the unknown and not being able to have control over my body when I go under, during the surgery, and when I wake up. Also terrified of something going wrong in recovery. So I come to ask! What was your wisdom tooth surgery like? Were you as worried as me? Did it all turn out okay. I need some big help.

Surgery! Scared of revealing intrusive thoughts

I am having surgery on Friday and I am worried while I am loopy from anaesthetic that I will expose myself or start saying my intrusive thoughts out loud. I am so scared of this and scared I’ll say stuff and not remember then everyone will know. Help
