Diesel Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 I'm getting my wisdom teeth pulled this Thursday and quite frankly I'm scared out of my wits. I've never had any type of surgury before and I'm really afraid of getting knocked out. All of these thoughts run through my mind: What if I never wake up? What if the next thing I see is the pearly gates? (or worse :evil: ) and so on... Well so that's that...can anyone give me some reassurence that nothing will go wrong, cause I'm kinda freaked about this Last.Fm My Bloggy Proud to have served on Tip.it Crew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whocares Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Just think of it this way. Would you rather get knocked out or just dulled. My sister got her wisdom teeth taken out and she wasn't knocked out, they used a local anesthesia and it hurt she said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My sister got her wisdom teeth taken out and she wasn't knocked out, they used a local anesthesia and it hurt she said. Yeah they gave me the choice of getting a local anesthesia or getting totally knocked out and I didn't let my doctor even finish his sentence before I told him to knock me out. Another thing that I'm not looking forward to is not being able to eat for 8 or so hours before the surgury...I'm a 6'2" 170 lbs. teenager. I'm always hungry!

Lateralus Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Yes, you will live. But that aside, I've always had awesome times under anaesthetic. Just try to enjoy it. La lune ne garde aucune rancune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordkafei Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 My mom had hers cut out - she stayed in bed for 3 days afterwards. The dentist also gave her prescription pain killers; I forget the name.

Nadril Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 I'm getting mine out on the 31st. Not worried about it though, my little sister is tiny as hell (17 yrs old) and had 4 out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenin64 Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Frankly, I would be more worried about the dentist violating you while you're conked out than never waking up. Command the Murderous Chalices!

Bludragon124 Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 I am having part of my urethra removed in a few weeks! I would put that above getting some teeth out. Relax. Oh man... that has to suck.

highlanders Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Complications from general anaesthetics almost never happen to young people. I've had to have it quite a few times. Don't :| worry, you'll be fine. Happened to me >_>. The first time I had general anesthetic I had great pain breathing for several weeks, and after that it tooks months of breathing exercises for my lungs to go back to their normal size. And it was a small operation, I was only 16, and I had all those problems. In all cases, they don't give general anesthetic for pulling teeth :lol: I had four teeths pulled out in my life. Teeth go out very easily, and painlessly. The most annoying thing is the bleeding that goes on for several days, trouble eating etc, then a little pain until the spot is fully healed. 2480+ total Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they pulled my teeth, they didn't use General. But in alot of cases with wisdom teeth they do because they acutally have to many times cut in the gum to reach the tooth because it hasn't even come out yet.

Harrington Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 I wouldnt' wory at all... it's very routine now. I know how you feel. My wisdom teeth grew in far too early, when I was 12. Instead of pulling them, they pulled 4 nearer the front (2 per visit). I wasn't in much discomfort and that was 15 years ago... I'm sure things are even less traumatic now :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
