Relax and enjoy getting the wisdom teeth removed.

Smile, and think silly things.

It will be fine.

I have to get mine done but have been holding off for about 2 years, they are causing lots of unwanted pain but i too have fears of similar things I feel like the drugs would make me vulnerable to open up about things i dont want to. Tho you can do it without the drugs I am scared of that option too.. Let me know how your decision goes, were in this together!

I had my wisdom teeth removed and was singing silly songs when I woke up...the relief from the pain is awesome.

Here's to healing thoughts to help you through this!

How on Earth did dental anxiety and coming out to mom get into the same paragraph? Hits my senses like mixing bleach and ammonia. The two are best handled separately.

But. . .

Gentle support while you sort them both. Sort freely. Sort often.

Listening. . .

I am due to have my wisdom teeth removed soon too. The idea spirals me into panic as well. I have had kidney stones and was put on dilaudid and valium. The first time it relaxed me so much I actually flatlined for about 25 seconds they said. Then the second time they had it in my records and were able to do it right. I did tell the doctor I loved him at one point due to the pain being gone. As for your initial fear of coming out, its your life, if it makes you happy your parents should love and support you regardless.

I was under general anesthesia (completely asleep) when they took 2 of my wisdom teeth out... back in the day. I woke up 20 minutes later, was fine, and never said anything strange to anyone. I even went out to a club that same night.

Nowadays, I hear they use mainly local anesthetic (novocaine), so it is similar to what they use when you get a cavity filled. Little to no chance you will blurt out anything out of the ordinary. But, even if you did for some remote reason say something, you can "blame" it on the novocaine (or the pain pills).

I wouldn't be worried about the procedure.

You need to get your wisdom teeth out, if they are suggesting it. You don't want them to get impacted or abscessed. Then you would have bad infections to deal with. Just get it done. You'll be fine, and glad that you took care of this!

I got my wisdom teeth removed in 2015. They were decaying anyway and it was pretty disgusting. I was put under, and seriously after I woke up it felt like I was only asleep for 5 minutes, although the whole operation took about an hour and half. After getting them out there was pain and bleeding, but that's expected. Gums around where the teeth were, will feel weird, like a flap of gums, but that heals over. I couldn't eat for 4 days days, so my diet consisted of cottage cheese and gogurt lol.

It's natural to be worried, I sure was. But it's okay. You'll be fine and you'll be better off :)
