Hey guys. I don't post here often however I need some personal support with an upcoming surgery I have next week. I'm getting all 4 of my impacted wisdom teeth removed next week and I'm a nervous wreck. I have no idea what to expect as I have never been "under the knife" or undergone any operations. I had a meeting with the oral surgeon a few months ago and he said they were going to give me laughing gas followed by IV anesthesia. He said they were also going to shoot Novocaine in each of the wisdom teeth that he will be pulling.
My main concern is the procedure itself. I know after the operation I'm going to have some swelling and bruising and I'm fine with that at this point. I simply can't get over what the procedure will be like. I have never been under any type of Anesthetic and really don't know how dangerous it is. I've always had fears of waking up while being operated on or saying something embarrassing/stupid while they are working on me.
Tl;dr: Basically, for those of you who have gotten all 4 wisdom teeth removed. What was the PROCEDURE like?
I would appreciate all your help and could use any assistance I can get.
Thanks!
