Finally did it, but question!

[kpa]

After dealing with infection after infection, and PAIN, and cancelling at least 15 times over the past 5 years I finally got two wisdom teeth + an extra baby tooth near the top right one extracted today! Top right and bottom left, because they were both broken, badly.

I did it under local anesthesia and 2mg of Klonopin (I have panic disorder with agoraphobia) and it wasn't bad at all. There was A LOT of pressure and some pain, but it was over in 10 minutes, stitching and all! I won't lie, i did cry a bit during the process

The local anesthesia (only 1 shot on each side!) didn't last long at all, maybe a half hour (I had to take the kind with the epinephrine due to heart issues) so I know that kind doesn't last long, but the pain, 6 hours later is about a 5 at a 10, hoping this is the worst it'll get

I have to make my appointment for the other 2 to come out, but I'm waiting until I'm all healed up from this.

How long does healing usually take? I'm already starving for real food

Your post helped me so much because I too am having a local for an upper wisdom tooth and have severe anxiety about this. Thanks for sharing!!!

well if you have any questions, feel free to ask me! I had a severely decayed broken above the gumline upper wisdom tooth with a supernumary tooth and it was fine, I bet you'll do great. If you have anxiety, ask your doctor for a sedative!

Thanks for your response. I am taking something before. I just had a horrible experience as a kid with a dentist and I also was sexually abused and we all know those stories and how they can impact us at dentist. I am bringing a blanket to cover my face, my husband to hold my hand and music to sooth my anxiety. It can't get here any sooner!!
