    I feel like I'm being forced to undergo general anesthesia

    I am having all four of my wisdom teeth removed on Monday. I'm not looking forward to it. Originally, when I went in for my consultation, I didn't mention to the doctor that I didn't want to be put to sleep for the procedure. And of course, that is what he recommended. Instead of saying...

    Major Anxiety Over Wisdom Teeth Removal

    Hi all. I have an appointment for July 6 to get all 4 wisdom teeth removed. The oral surgeon said they looked "easy" to remove and that the procedure itself should only take about 30 minutes. Why are 30 minutes of my life so unbelievably terrifying?? I am sitting here and just thinking about...

    So i got my wisdom teeth out TODAY and for the past 2 months I had been stressing, mainly because of General Anesthesia (i really though I could have died).
