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.
The best thing I’ve ever done for any type of surgery is just to make sure the place is reviewed well and that the doctor has a lot of experience and isn’t fresh out of school. I don’t really want to be someone’s 5th real patient. Also stock up on soft and cool/cold foods, and ice for outside your face for the swelling really helps. If they give you meds for pain make sure to eat something with them even if it’s crackers. Lastly definitely make sure you follow aftercare and don’t use a straw for however long they recommend. I’m not sure if this helps but it’s not as bad as you are thinking and it’s truly better to do it young take it from me who chose to wait for financial reasons. You’ll spring back faster the younger you are. Best of luck!
