I have had my wisdom teeth out years ago and it was no big deal. Didn't remember anything. When I have had to be knocked out for other medical procedures such a scope down my throat to check my stomach I ask to have a bag of saline in my iv so I don't get dehydrated. Also just tell them you are a bit nervous and they will help calm your fears. I also make sure they use a butterfly needle which is small and never have anything in my arm for blood draws etc. I can handle it in my hand not my arm. Have them cover it up and you won't see it. The key is to not keep thinking and worrying about what might happen. You take precious time away from your life. Soon it will be over and you will be ok and things will turn out fine. Just keep telling yourself that. Also my advice is try and think of something worse in life that you wouldn't want to go through and that keeps things in perspective for me. Like imagine how people deal with not walking or other things. This is routine and simple and once you are out you don't remember a thing. Everytime you start worrying just keep telling yourself "I'm brave, I can handle this and I will be ok." Best to you!

The best advice I can give you is to distract yourself and stay busy until then. You can worry about this for the next three days if you want to, but it will not do you ONE lick of good. The best thing you can do is tell yourself that you will handle this problem when it arises and take it from there.
Right now, you are telling your brain that something horrible is about to happen. It doesn't know exactly what......it just knows you are terrified of something and its coming soon. So if you keep doing this to yourself, your are setting yourself up for some major anxiety issues in the coming weeks.
I know you are scared. And that's okay. That is how any normal person would feel about this. But that doesn't mean that you have to just give up and not try to be strong. You CAN be scared and strong at the same time. Its allowed.... :)
You are going to do just fine. All of us can keep telling you that, but your brain would much rather here it from you. Big hugs and good luck.

dont be scared :)
when they go to give u ur IV look away.
Itll feel like a bee sting and once its done youll giggle and be like wow that wasnt bad at all. then ull sleep and feel good for the next few days lol i hear they give wicked drugs after wisdom teeth removals.

anyways, just relax. and maybe u can take a family member or friend in with you, that would easy ur worries at least a bit.

ask for the laughing gas. itll relax u and ull still know whats going on. its safe and ur in complete control and in the know.
:) i always get that when i go in just cuz i get to relax a little lol.



good luck and keep up updated

I work in surgery and you are not experiencing anything a person without anxiety would feel. It is a scary thing to most everyone. Take comfort in knowing that of the thousands of procedures I have done there has never been a bad outcome from them. The IV will be quick and you should not look at it. Make sure to breath. I had mine out and know how it goes. I didn't have anxiety at that time but was still a tiny bit nervous it's normal. You will be ok and you can do it!! Hope you have a speedy recovery as well!!

Thank you all, you're responses have helped put me at ease. I'm still freaking out.. But I either do it or I don't. If I do it, its over with, and I survives, hopefully... If I don't I'm in terrible because I couldn't cancel timely and I'm stuck with my painful impacted wisdom teeth. Its so obvious but making physically nauseous and upset. Thanks again though

You are going to be so fine. And so proud of yourself when its all over! Let us know how it goes and I'm not going to wish you luck because I know you've got this. ;)

Omg I feel so silly for getting so worked up... It went fine. It was over before I knew it. Its a bit painful now as the anesthesia is wearing off but hoping I will fall asleep. Thanks for all the support! Definitely helped
