Scared getting wisdom teeth removed

[honeybee91]

I need 4 cavities filled next week then my dentist wants me to go get my wisdom teeth removed. Obviously I’m scared, I’m not scared of the actual procedure I know it won’t be pleasant with all the sounds but I’m mostly scared of the recovery and the possibility of dry socket. I’m going to schedule a consultation with the oral surgeon my dentist recommended in a few weeks and I just want to read some success stories and words of wisdom lol

I’m turning 35 in August and I’m a little embarrassed it’s taken me this long to do it but alas here I am. I want it done and over with but the idea of post surgery pain scares me
