Hey Guys!
It's me again and I'm having another sleepless night.......
I wanted to know what I should expect during my wisdom teeth extraction on Thursday.
I'm having all 4 removed and the two bottom ones are both erupted and slightly impacted. I'm getting local anesthesia and I'll be taking a valium the night before and the morning of. I'll also be bringing along the headphones to drown out the unwanted noises.
What exactly will I feel? I keep hearing about a terrible pressure. I've heard there's absolutely no pain, but this pressure sucks. Will the valium I'll be taking help to relieve some of that. I've heard that sometimes oral sedation with a valium can actually make the visit relatively easy. Is this typical? Also, how long will this procedure take? I know everyone is different but what would be a good estimate?
I'm calling my oral surgeon today as soon as it's business hours to see if I need to do a preliminary meeting with him today since it's been about 6 months since my consultation. I don't think anything has changed tooth wise since that period. But I have switched from general to local so I don't know if that will require a different procedure.
Sorry if I'm rambling. I'm really freaking out more than I thought I would. I keep trying to tell myself that its only a minor procedure and any discomfort I might feel (i.e. the pressure) will not last very long. But I can't help but to get knots in my stomach. I haven't slept right or finished a complete meal all week. Hopefully, me blowing this way out of proportion will make whatever happens to me seem like a walk in the park.
Thanks for all the help you guys have been providing me over the past few days. I just wish this would be over with
