Getting my wisdom teeth removed?!

Getting my wisdom teeth removed?

I'm getting all four wisdom teeth removed, three of them are like completely sideways and one is impacted. Is the procedure gonna suck? Do I have to be sedated, or can they just use Novocaine. Because I'm not too comfortable about being knocked out during the procedure.

I'm not worried about hearing the crunching and cutting cuz I'll be listening to music while they do it.

I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth removed about 5 years ago. All they gave me was novicane injections and a lot of them. I have very sensitive nerves in my face. If you have a good dentist, you should be able to get a choice to either have the novicane or being knocked out.

The dentist should have also said something about surgery or unhinging your jaw if the teeth placement was very bad...he/she would have explained that when you made the appointment to have them removed.

You will get gauze padding to help soak up the blood after in the sockets and a piece of paper explaining things to do after having them removed.

Don't sweat the procedure. I used to have an insane fear of dentists until this last year or so and getting my wisdom teeth pulled was the first time I'd had to have any teeth pulled. It is not as horrible as it sounds as long as you listen to the dentist and follow the advice given.

For 3 days you may be sore after the procedure, and your food choices are limited somewhatly...soup is good, you can also have milkshakes if you use a spoon. Dry socket is painful from what I've heard and the dentist will explain that too, so don't drink anything out of a straw for awhile.
