hola!

I’m extremely nervous because on Wednesday I’m scheduled to get my wisdom teeth removed. My main worry is getting my nerves damaged and having to be on pain forever.

I also have never had any surgical procedure done before, so not knowing what to expect from having three pieces removed has me crawling up the roof.

Many say it should get done as soon as possible, but I’m seriously considering calling it off. The pain I felt two weeks ago is gone now 🥸

Any advice (either for before or after the procedure) is welcome and deeply appreciated.

    I had the same concerns as well when I got mine removed.

    So let’s be real about things. The procedure itself was the most uncomfortable one because it took a long time. There was no pain, just discomfort of someone working inside my mouth. I was given pain meds and easy-to-follow instructions. I had scrambled eggs and yogurt for a good week or two, which got boring because I didn’t prepare well. I followed my pain med instructions easily.

    2 years after, and I have no issues. So, as long as you’re not an idiot and as long as you don’t deliberately fail to follow instructions, it’ll be alright. Do it, don’t put it off for longer.
