Im getting my wisdom teeth pulled im kinda afraid.?

Question

Is there anything to be afraid of or anything

There not out of my gums so is that gonna be bad?

Answer 1

I've not had it done, so I'm probably not qualified to answer. However friends of mine have been and had it done in hospital and they've been a little bruised afterwards but felt ok.
Good Luck ;-)

Answer 2

Um....yes its going to hurt; but not so much you wont live. People get their wisdom teeth pulled everyday and live to see the dentist again. You'll pull through, just take it one day at a time. Plus, once you start taking the pain meds; it dulls it so much that you cant feel it. If you have wisdom teeth that have not surfaced (still inside of gums) then the dentist will knock you out and it will be a major surgery; you'll wake up wondering what happened and all is well. Otherwise, if they have come out, then you stay awake, the dentist numbs you, and your head gets banged around while he yanks them out. It may be dramatic, you wont feel a thing, but if your scared have someone you trust there to hold your hand or be there to help you through.

I'm not going to lie to you, there is some pain. My wisdom teeth were removed back in 1997. I was in pain for the entire weekend, and I was in the actual dentist office for a couple hours.

However, 2 years ago, my wife had her widsom teeth removed and she was in the dentist chair only for about 1 1/2 hours. She was only in real pain the first day, but she slept through a lot of it.

So I'm trying to say that yes, you will have some pain, but dentists have gotten better these past fews years. Good luck and have plenty of liquids and soup ready.

Here's the good news: They're going to give you heavy-duty lidocaine at a minimum, so you will feel very little (if anything)when they're doing it. Many dentists use nitrous oxide as well, and oral surgeons usually use general anesthesia, so you may be "out of it" while it's happening. If you get a choice, have them use the gas or the general anesthesia.

Here's the bad news: It's going to hurt for a couple of days after they do it, and it's going to be very difficult for you to chew for those couple of days, so you'll have to eat soft stuff. Ice cream or sorbet is good because the cold helps numb your aching jaws.

More good news: They'll probably give you heavy-duty painkillers like Tylenol 3 or Vicodin or something like that, and they're both very effective at relieving the pain (the pain won't go completely away, but it shouldn't be bad).

More bad news: The painkillers make you whoozy, so you shouldn't go to work, drive, or operate machinery while you're recovering (hey, a couple of days off may be good news...)

Answer 5

Shaun,
If you are going to a reputable Oral Surgeon you are in good hands. They do stuff like this all the time and are very good, capable people. It is normal to be scared, but remember that once it is done you will never have to worry about those teeth giving you a problem again. Stock up in jello, soup and soft foods, look at it as a chance for maybe someone to wait on you hand and foot while you recoup for a day or two. :o)

Answer 6

I've had my wisdom teeth pulled & I was so nervous about what it'd be like, but once I got there & was nearly put out all the way, I was fine. I was a little wobbly afterwards, but my best friend drove me home & stayed with me for a while. I layed down & rested. The next day, I was fine. You'll be just fine too. :)

Answer 7

You have nothing to worry about. You will not feel anything and you'll be back on your feet in a few days. If you smoke however; you shouldn't for a few days after your procedure as you will get dry socket which is very painful.

Answer 8

I have been given 2 of mine on one part cut back out at the instant and it did no longer harm as much as I predicted. i replaced into truly worrying and apprehensive i might experience it yet I felt no longer something in the time of the technique. i replaced into in straight forward terms given community anesthesia too. it truly is whilst the numbing wears off that the soreness contraptions in. it is the area I predicted to break plenty yet i replaced into shocked that the soreness replaced into bearable. i replaced into in a position sleep in the time of the night without waking up and it wasn't undesirable adequate for me to hotel to painkillers. It only feels as though somebody punched your cheek, like it truly is bruised. It wasn't so undesirable for me that i wanted to writhe around in soreness and cry. it truly is only the letting it heal area that's uncomfortable simply by fact it takes a whilst (I pay attention it takes 2-3 weeks) and you will't consume nicely. I have been given them out a week in the past and it does not harm anymore once I leave it on my own yet my jaw continues to be particularly sore and that i haven't began chewing on that part yet.

Answer 9

Make sure they use nitrous oxide and you will actually enjoy it. I did, I remember thinking "This is how Prince makes his music"...it was 1990, so that is why I thought of Prince. Just make sure to guard against dry sockets, that is the part that hurts...good luck.

Answer 10

Had them done, nothing to afraid off. I slept most of the next day.
