Wisdom teeth??

I might be getting my bottom wisdom teeth removed but im really scared when it comes to going to the dentist he said I wont be out but it will be numbed and I can have laughing gas if I want but im still scared how was your experience with it just being numb could you still feel it being done?? Also is it ok for a dentist to do it and not a dentist surgeon? This also worries me.

Wisdom teeth??
Hey there; first of all, please don%26#039;t be scared. I know there is LOT of hype about having wisdom teeth out but take it from me: it%26#039;s not as bad as everyone says. I had all four of mine out with just local numbing shots, and no sedation of any kind. Also, they were all impacted and all still inside my gums (they hadn%26#039;t erupted through yet), so they had to be broken apart inside my head and cut out. Sounds bad, right? But it wasn%26#039;t, and yours sounds like it will be an even less complicated procedure.


If you just get numbed, they%26#039;ll give you a few shots in the mouth, which hurt a tiny little bit- just a little pinch like any needle. Not a big deal. After that you will not feel a thing. You feel the surgeon%26#039;s hands in your mouth, you feel a bit of pressure, but it really doesn%26#039;t feel any different from the patient%26#039;s point of view than having a simple filling. If somebody told you you were just getting a filling done, I bet you wouldn%26#039;t even be able to tell the difference.


But you definitely want to go to a maxillofacial surgeon rather than just a regular dentist. It%26#039;s not a big deal- they%26#039;re just dentists that are specially trained in doing work like this, so they%26#039;ll be able to do it faster, and probably better than a regular dentist who doesn%26#039;t do this procedure ten times every day :) Plus they will be used to working on patients like you who are nervous about having their wisdom teeth out, so they%26#039;ll probably make you feel more at ease. The one I went to had an office that looked just like any other dental office, you won%26#039;t have to go to a hospital or anything. Don%26#039;t let the word surgeon scare you; again, it%26#039;s just a dentist with extra training.


Most importantly, don%26#039;t freak yourself out and let others scare you with horror stories. It will probably only take 1/2 an hour to an hour at most (mine only took about 50 minutes.) It will be over before you know it and you%26#039;ll wonder why you were so scared in the first place. Good luck, I%26#039;m sure everything will be fine.
Reply:I had 6 teeth removed before my braces got put on and I had a surgeon dentist do it...he knocked me out...so I didn%26#039;t feel a thing...but when I was a kid they just numbed it and I thought I was going to choke to death when he was pulling out two of my baby teeth....not fun....I%26#039;d get a second opinion.....
Reply:when i got my wisdom teeth removed it wasnt so bad you just cant be nervous going into it otherwise youll just be all sorts of paranoid
Reply:Do yourself a big favor and get an oral surgeon to do it. Trust me, you dont want to be awake for that.
Reply:I was high on valium, but awake..





I was so out of it that I migiht as well have been asleep.. I staggered (Drunkenly) out and asked mom if we could go shopping.. I thought life was GREAT.. that%26#039;;s what valium does to you...
Reply:I had my bottom wisdom teeth taken out by a regular dentist. I did fine.. I was not %26quot;put out%26quot; either, really numb and some great pain pills after. Yes you are gonna be sore becasue wisdom tooth roots are deeper but you%26#039;ll be fine..
