I was scared to DEATH to get any dental work done, so much in fact at the pre-exam table, I started crying in front of the nurse when they even so much as started talking about what needed to be done. But they sent me to an oral surgeon, they gave me an IV drip and apparently a shot of Novocaine afterwards (because, really, I wasn't afraid of the dental work... I was mostly afraid of getting a shot in my gum!!! and I am not afraid of shots!). I was out COLD. When I woke up, I had five less teeth, but didn't feel a thing.

I got it easy, I guess. I did not swell up, was never in any excruciating pain, a LITTLE bit of soreness, and my bleeding stopped the very next day. All my stitches came out by the end of the week. I was back at work the very next day!!

The thing that sucked THE MOST about the entire experience was the fact that I couldn't brush my back molars, and I had that DISGUSTING film on my teeth, and I got paranoid that I had really bad breath cause I could taste it... but I couldn't use mouthwash... so I could not waiiitttt for my clots to form completely and stitches to fall out then I was all over the toothbrush lol


I got all mine out at the same time. I figured, why go through the experience more than once?? Take them all out at once, save myself multiple trips. I can't imagine having to do it again, especially since getting 4 wisdom teeth and 1 molar out only took maybe... 35 minutes lol
