Bye Bye Wisdom Teeth!

Today is the day that I get my teeth out!! I am just getting the bottoms out, not all four, so hopefully all goes smoothly and I am not in too much discomfort. It my first time having any sort of surgery, freezing, or even dental work! So yes, I am nervous and I hope it is just over with quickly.

If I remember my x-rays correctly, one of mine is "angular" and one is "vertical" so I hope that means the surgery will be very routine and straightforward. My upper ones are actually horizontal, but the dentist thought it was too risky to take them out so they are staying in- I hope they don't have to come out later!

It my first time having any sort of surgery, freezing, stitches, or even dental work! I don't even think I have had prescription painkillers before. So yes, I am nervous and I hope it is just over with quickly. But every dang commenter on here seems to have had this done so I know it will soon be over and I will be back to normal soon. Thank you to everyone in the recent weeks who have made me feel a lot more confident about this and given advice!

Have a great weekend!! I'll be back sometime next week. Follow me on Twitter if you want to listen to me complain in the meantime :)

  1. I have to get mine out too! I have impacted one on the bottom and the top two broke in half!!! I didn't even know what was possible!! I keep putting the appointment off. I'm more nervous about dental work that I was delivering two kids!!

  2. Like I said on twitter, my husband JUST got his last two out yesterday! I guess his would have been the 'partial eruption'? He got his first two out because his dentist told him he should, but never got around to booking an appointment for the other two because they didn't really bother him. And then they got infected because food was getting stuck under the skin. So, out they come!

    He's doing fine, and you will too! Just make sure to pop those painkillers and chew gently for the next few days!
