I finally did it, I had my wisdom teeth removed. I was sooo nervous. I almost fainted before my appointment. Yes I am a big baby.
I had to ask a million questions before the dentist could even give me the numbing gel. I even started to cry I was so nervous. He did a fabulous job at calming my nerves and giving me the shots of Novocain. He even brought me some sparkling water in between the shots and told me that 95% of the nerves (and my shaking hands) were just me and 5% the novocain. I finally mellowed a bit and he started to bend my tooth side to side and I thought (and asked) if my tooth was breaking because it sounded weird and felt weird. He said that was normal and weird is good, the tooth was not breaking. So not kidding 4 seconds later the dentist said "it's a boy, your tooth is out" I was amazed and he showed it to me. Then he took the other side out even faster, but this one was a girl. Now only if child birth was this quick and painless.
I snapped a shot of the teeth really quick with my camera phone.
I arrived at the dentist at 3:15 and got back into my car at 4:15, the longest part was me being a ball of nerves, asking a ton of questions and freaking out about the what ifs'.
Wow I now know it wasn't a big deal after-all. I'll let you know how the recovery goes. I already switched out the gauze, but I really suck at it.
