I'm getting my wisdom teeth taken out next week, and I am kind of scared, even though I'll be put to sleep. I guess the thought of people ripping out 4 of my teeth freaks me out.

Does anyone have any tips on getting through it, or getting through the soarness afterward? Thanks.

Hey I had 8 wisdom teeth pulled at once (I have too many teeth freakish I know) and honestly the surgery part is the easiest part of all! It's much better then being awake, as for the pain aftrwards your dr. will give you pain pills make sure you take them esp. the first couple of days, if they are not working for you then also take one motrin/advil.

Whatever you do DON'T USE A STRAW your dentist will tell you this as well it causes "dry socket" which is very very painful.

Hope this helps, good luck.
