Take a moment and take a deep breath. Whether this helps or not, a wisdom teeth surgery is extremely quick and only involves the mouth. I was awake throughout mine and it was super quick and painless (with shots of course). Honestly, a flu shot was more painful for me. To date, there has never been anyone who has ever died from a wisdom tooth surgery, and what you’ll get out of it will be waking up from a nice nap.
Thank you for taking the time to comment nice words it means a lot
I’m so sorry you are feeling this way! I know that is so hard .
Thank you for taking time comment much appreciated
I got my wisdom out back in Janauary and I was scared out of my mind. When I sat in the chair there I just closed my eyes the whole time trying to go to sleep already before any medication. Just closing my eyes and not looking at anything or anybody else around helped me. Then next thing I knew I was awake and from there can't remember too much cause I was loopy. But I will tell you something that may make you laugh that I kinda remember... so the nurse was cute right? Thought that the minute I walked in anyways. Well when I was loopy she was pushing me out to the car and I asked her if she was coming home with me and if she wanted to get with me!! My dad was like wtf???? Of course thats the one thing I remember. I feel embarrassed now cause when I go to the dentist I'm gonna have to see her and be like oohhh it was just the meds.... but in all seriousness its the surgery is really quick and then just recovery. Think about all the ice cream and yogurt you can eat. You gotta get a nice big shake after it helps . Stay strong❤
Thank you so much! I lived Hahahaha and that’s a cute story btw
@maddy79 Yay! I'm happy all went well? stay safe and have a good recovery❤
That’s great news!
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
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.
I’ve never been under anesthesia, i’m 19 and I should be getting my wisdom teeth removed, I am supposed to call the oral surgeon, but I still haven’t called after two months of getting my referral, for a few reasons. 1. I think i will die or suffer from serious complications/ be able to feel everything but not be able to move, almost like sleep paralysis, because that type of thing has happened before, only in redheads… I am not a redhead. Just the impeding doom it feels like a possibility. 2. Who will take me/drive me home while i’m coming out of the anesthesia and possibly saying silly things. I don’t want anyone to see me in a state i’ve never been in before. I feel like i’m going to say horrible things that are either directed at the person who is caring for me, or just in general. Even sexually explicit/ morally wrong/ flat out disturbing. If my boyfriends take me what if I tell him I don’t love him ( I do). What if I say something sexual that could be offensive, like sexual acts with other people? (I’ve never done/Will never do). I can’t have my mom take me cause she would hold those things against me for however long it felt right to her. Etc. My teeth are suffering and the anxiety of the what ifs eat me alive every time I think about it. To me this feels extremely vulnerable and it makes me more uncomfortable than anything to not be in control of my words. My sister specifically is an example that makes me feel these things. She told me that our mother said to her when she was healed from getting her wisdom teeth out that my sister said something so bad that my mother said she would never repeat it. Which is very out of character for my mother. And my sister and I are almost positive what she said was a sexual connotation. Has anyone else had this experience?
