Wisdom teeth extraction tomorrow?

I have 2 horizontally impacted wisdom teeth that are coming out tomorrow morning. I am TERRIFIED. Has anyone else had a horizontal impaction extracted? I hear that they can be more complicated. Was it set in your jaw? I'm 22 by the way so my jaw should not be fully developed yet. Please help :(

Wisdom teeth extraction tomorrow?
I just had all 4 of mine pulled on Tuesday. My top 2 didn't come through, but they were in the gum horizontal (they didn't bother me at all). My bottom 2 bothered me the most and I knew they needed to come out...





It's not as bad as you think. My oral surgeon put me to sleep and when I woke up, I was kinda fuzzy (felt drunk...lol). I didn't like having the gauze in my mouth, that really bothered me and having to keep changing it until the bleeding stopped. They gave me percocet (pain meds), ibuprofen (for pain and puffiness), and amoxicillin (antibotic). The key is to don't let the medicine lapse or else you will be in pain. I'm taking my meds regularly, so it hasn't been too painful. I look like Alvin, Simon, and Theodore...hopefully the chubby cheeks will go away soon :)





Take care and hopefully it won't be too painful for you.
Reply:Trust me, it sounds much worse than it will be. It will be over so quickly, you'll be shocked.They'll give you lots of painkillers, too.
Reply:How are your other 2 wisdom teeth? I had one coming in, but the other 3 didn't, so I elected to have all 4 wisdom teeth taken out the same time. Some dentists put to sleep while doing this surgery, and you will have stitches that will have to come out in a week or so. Ask your dentist if he thinks all 4 need to come out, because believe me if he only does 2, and you have to go back for the other 2, you won't want to. If the other 2 wisdom teeth are fine, then you have nothing to worry about. You will be in pain for several days, and have to eat soft meals, because of the stitches. Good luck, you'll be glad when it's over. By the way, I was 21 when I had the surgery done.
Reply:The worst part for me was that the anesthetic made me very nauseated.
Reply:Trust me, you'll be fine. It's much better to have them removed voluntarily than to have them move into your jaw like my right one did. My jaw locked shut and swelled to the size of a softball. I had emergency surgery, they had to break my jaw open, with nothing but Novocaine! I had the left one removed voluntarily a few months later - it went smooth as silk.


Don't panic, you'll be fine!!!!!!!!!
