Wisdom teeth?

hey, I just wanted to see if anyone can provide advice for me. In about 2 weeks I am having 3 of my widom teeth removed, which are all impacted. Im really nervous about the whole thing as this is my first type of surgery!





I was also wondering is anyone could tell me what the procedue is like under IV sedation.

Wisdom teeth?
Personally I would advise to have the two on the same side removed first and the other side done later. It's going to be sore a while, and at least you'll be able to eat on one side of your mouth.


Going under sedation is the best way. I had my first pulled without and it was brutal, because the roots were long. The other three were under sedation at three separate times and all three were a breeze.
Reply:rinse your mouth with salt water for a few days after the procedure.
Reply:I was awake through my surgery while my friend was under sedation. She went back to work the next day while I was sick and swollen for about a week. I think it just depends on you and how your body reacts to the drugs. I'm one of those people that doesn't take medication unless I absolutely have to so maybe that's why I had such a hard time. Well good luck!
Reply:I've had all but one of my wisdom's removed so I'm not that wise any more :( , but I still have some common sense! All kidding aside, since they are impacted as mine were I believe they will use an IV and Intros Oxide i.e. laughing gas to make you groggy and the IV to completely put you under. You won't feel a thing and you won't remember anything past the needle going into your arm more than likely. Don't worry. It's normal to feel anxious when it's your first time. I'm about to have major surgery soon and I'm pretty darn nervous!
Reply:Hey there! You'll be fine. I'm 31 and just had all four of mine out at once about a week ago. I ate chik fil a, a sandwhich and fries for dinner tonight.


I had mine out via IV sedation and don't remember much more than waking up to them asking me to bite down on the gauze.


I got a prescription for ibuprofen and percocet(oxycodone).


I never had to take the percocet because the pain was very manageable. I personally had minimal swelling.


As long as you have good oral hygiene you should do just fine.


Even being 31 having wisdom teeth with long roots that were all impacted. On one some bone had to be chipped away on my jaw bone to get the tooth out. With all of that it only took the oral surgeon about 20 minutes and I'm doing just fine post-op.





You'll do great!
