ask for valium it will take the anxiety away
Reply:i just have my wisdom tooth extracted


you've gotta bear with the pain, thats all i can say


but the surgery itself isn't as bad as the aftermath


mine bleed for the whole day and it swells the day after.


you're not able to consume anything so better to fill your stomach before you go for surgery.
Reply:Three ideas to get you through:





Find a focal point and concentrate on that while they are applying the IV. Women commonly use this during childbirth, so it works for other situations, too.





Ask the oral surgeon if it's ok to bring some music with you and you could put on headphones to help distract you.





Think of the long term medical problems that come with keeping wisdom teeth, and I guarantee that IV will see minor in comparison.
Reply:well it took me about 5 days to feel better, but it was worth it not to be in pain anymore. I had 2 taking out at a time, first was my 2 bottoms and latter was my 2 top. i was awake for both times. after i had them pulled it hurt like crazy. I have a few friends though that it didn't even bother them so everyone is different. good luck
Reply:I hated having my teeth pulled out. I was given 3 Valium pills and 1 Halcion pill and nitrous oxide. I don't remember any of it except that if I didnt go to sleep soon, They were going to give an IV. Let the dentist know your fears and they should accomodate you. I was terrified but I'm ok and I had all of mine done. I too hate needles. I do remember craving and eating cookies from Great American Cookie Co that night.
