Hi, I need to get all four of my wisdom teeth extracted and I’m extremely anxious about it. I’ve never had surgery before and I’m really scared that something bad is going to happen during or after surgery. Mainly worried about the during. I’m going to need GA and IV sedation, both of which I have never had before. I’m nervous that I’m going to die or something (which I know is unlikely but I’m still anxious nonetheless). I was told by my surgeon to try and get them taken out this winter while I was home from college but I made up excuses to not make the appointment because of how anxious I am. A few hours ago I noticed that the gumline around the one that has emerged is swollen a bit and that’s what got me thinking about this again and now I’m scared that I waited too long. I know that I don’t really need to be nervous but I can’t get the thoughts out of my head that something bad is going to happen. Someone please help me out
