Feel like a complete wuss but I chickened out of getting my wisdoms removed today. I feel so pressured into it and I know I should get it done. But honestly right now I’m not in any pain and I’d be missing a bunch of uni to get it done (I’m a medical student so missing a couple of days really is a lot).
I didn’t want IV sedation but was told the only options were that, LA or GA. LA on its own is not enough and frankly I need something to help get me there. But sedation is too much. I just want to be chill but not out of it. I know that IV sedation basically puts you out of it and I really don’t want that.
I’ve come a long way as I wouldn’t have even gone to the dentist without panic attacks 3 years ago and I know it needs done but I’m just in no hurry. I’ve taken ages to getting to trust my regular dentist and they expect me to rock up to some random and just surrender control...no thanks! I’ve had a bunch of fillings done since and I can tolerate that pretty well now so I really wanted to do this just with minimum sedation. I got some diazepam from the doctor the other day but it did nothing for me and I can’t have propanolol because of asthma. I’m just totally freaked out and worried I will end up really suffering as a result but I just couldn’t go and I was really panicked. Any advice from other people?
