Wisdom teeth removal. Your experience

Question

So, I'm getting my wisdom teeth removed soon and I'm terrified. I hate dentists, I hate strangers' hands in my mouth, and I hate pain. What is involved in the precedure? Did they put any needles in your mouth to numb you or did they just use gas to knock you out? I know they put an IV in my sister when she had hers done. What was the pain like afterwards? Any info is apreciated!

Answer 1

Yes your teeth are numbed or you can go under general anesthesia. afterwards they give you pain killers and antibiotics, there is swelling and a bit of pain, but if you keep you head elevated and ice on your cheeks, you dont feel much. The swelling can last for a few days and in a week you should be much better
