Oof! I had all four removed at once. I was hopped up on prescription pain meds for a few days, and mostly subsisted on sherbet.
Changing out the gauze is the worst part of it.

Thanks for all the recipes and well wishes!! It was very, very fine. Honestly, if youāve had braces, every time those were tightened was WAY more painful than this. I was in and out in 40 minutes and my only complaint is that I canāt eat my food fast enough because my jaw is stiff from the swelling

Thanks! Iām not worried about the procedure, but I do have a fear of sedation thatās making me nervous.

Will they let you do it without sedation perhaps? I had mine out without it, just a bunch of novocain and they taped ear buds into my ears so I could listen to music. It wasnāt nearly as traumatic as my dad had talked it up to beā¦then again, his were done by the Air Force in the 70s so probably not an awesome experience.

I was nervous too but it was literally so fast! Iād been having stress dreams about not falling asleep fast enough, but within seconds of being poked I was out. They know what theyāre doing!! Good luck!!

Yeah mine went really fast and I feel complete fine after the sedation. I was afraid of being loopy and not having full mental capacity afterwards but Iām actually really good. I just got home

So glad youāre both doing well. I had to have one wisdom tooth extracted back in 2018 (right after my stroke and heart surgery, It was a wild romp of an autumn.)
I used to be nervous about going under, but as someone who is now in their (very early) 40s and has been put under a dozen or so times, I now eagerly await the brief but total respite from consciousness.

Yeah the numbing is slowly fading out while the pain fades in so Iāll probably take a nap soon. Iāve got my fiancĆ©e here keeping an eye on me.

Amen. I loved the twilight anesthesia they used when I had my wisdom teeth taken out. My worst nightmare came to passāI woke up while they were at workāand I immediately realized that I didnāt care at all and drifted back to sleep.

Fun fact: Iāve been mistaken for Adam Savage three times. But always by a bit of about 11, and always in an airport.
