wisdom success

[mikey]

Hey all,

I got all 4 of my impacted wisdom teeth out today with i/v sedation. I am still wondering what i was so nervous about because it was easy The sedation guy came out and talked to me some, then I went back with him. When we went into the room, i started looking at the tools laying out and he told me that I don't need to look over there no need to see the tools, which probably saved me a whole lot of freaking outThey gave me a blanket, then he said that were going to go ahead and get the hard part, the i/v overwith. He injected a small amount of local anesthetic in my arm with such a small needle that I didn't feel anything before starting the i/v. I remember feeling queasy for a second, then felt good... then I was in the car on the way home done

So anyone thats going in for it... theres nothing to worry about

I'm glad you were able to go through with it! The surgeon sounds really nice and I'm glad the IV worked well for you. I remember sitting in the recovery room afterwards but nothing before that.

Great news and a syringe you didn't feel either....goodbye needle phobia maybe?

Your description sounds just like the way wizzie removal should be.

I'm not sure why it has such a bad rep...its only actually been painful lastnight but all the other time its just slightly sore.

I'm not sure why it has such a bad rep...

Me neither... and I was awake (with just Valium) and actually remember everything - it wasn't bad at all. I think some people just love to tell horror stories

Well done! Im glad it was not as bad as you thought! Im on the countdown to have mine out now.....4 days to go! I have been fine about it until this morning the hospital rang and started asking me all these questions and telling me they are sending me a 'special' sponge I have to shower with on the morning of surgery!
I pray it goes how yours went, over before you know it!

I also had IV sedation last week for a wisdom tooth pulled and a molar pulled. I loved the IV sedation and would definitely reccomend it to anyone, can't wait to do it again.

I have to go in and have a fractured tooth extracted tomorrow, I am having IV sedation and am absolutely terrified, but with that said I am so happy to read positive results from everyone hopefully by this time tomorrow everything will be done and dusted

You will do just fine sally65 I am treatment phobic and just had 7 teeth out with local and a whiff off happy air! This morning got out of dentists at 10am so with sedation you will float though it, all the best xx
