Hey all,

So last tuesday my wisdom tooth started hurting a lot and with Christmas coming up I didn't want to have it pulled right before. So my dentist prescribed penicilline and ibuprofen 600 sachets. 

But the cure hasn't fully helped. It only made some hours of the day more bareable than others. 

So I'm gonna take the very anxiety-inducing step of calling my dentist first thing tomorrow and having my wisdom tooth pulled ASAP. 

He has said before that he can be done with the procedure within 10 minutes or less bc my teeth are clean, not rotten and 'have enough space'. I doubt that last part now, but whatever. 

I will be given up to 4 injections of a local anaesthetic and won't feel any pain during, but will feel some pressure. 

My mom is coming with me for support. I'm also bringing my stress ball &amp; stuffed animal. And maybe my flight eyemask bc I don't wanna see any of that shit. 

My fear is that I'll panic too much bc of the pressure, the bleeding and bc it's the fucking dentist and no matter how kind &amp; understandinf he is, I will always fear the treatment and the environment. (I dislike the white walls with nothing on it and that damn smiling tooth thingy). 

My question is, what are you guys' experiences with having wisdom teeth pulled? Was your anxiety really bad? Did you bleed a lot? How much, if any, did your cheek(s) swell? And after how long could you eat anything you wanted again? 

I'd like to eat anything I want again on New Years Eve. 

I hope luck is on my side. 

Wish me luck cuz I might just faint or hyperventilate. 

TIA 

Will edit to update on how it went!
