I had to go under anesthesia when I broke my ankle. was just laying there while doctors were talking and then I woke up all ? ? ? give me water pls because wow that dry mouth.
as for the IV, they usually numb the area before the insert? I never feel anything. :0 just don't look at it ahhh.

I had my top two removed and it is not bad! My dad terrified me about the needle going in the roof of my mouth and it didn't hurt at all. It felt like a tight pressure and was gone in seconds. (I didn't go under anesthesia though) My friend did and she was in and out with no issues. You just are loopy loop. You'll be sore afterwards a bit and the stitches are awkward but no worries its safe and not as bad as you think at all <3 <3 <3

I had to go under to have mine taken out and there was absolutely no issues. They used the smallest IV needle and you barely feel it when they hook you up to it. The most I remember is when they were talking to me to keep me calm(I have never been out/had surgery before so I was mortified- like in tears mortified. Giant fear of unconsciousness, doctors and needles.) and some of the stuff they said was super amusing. When I woke up the most I felt was just really tired. I heard all the horror stories too with how things can go wrong, so I was religiously following all the instructions on keeping the spots clean and everything ended up fine. I had both top and bottom ones taken out.

I had all four of mine taken out at the same time and without anesthesia; though they gave me these small blue pill to take: one at 30 minutes before the appointment and the other right before. I guess that was suppose to knock me out or something-- but nope. So I was conscious through the whole thing.

And man do I hate that needle; I hate needles period (why do I want to be a vet?)! But it's a life saver for not feeling pain. They usually give you this stuff to numb you before giving you the shot, though, so it's not too bad.

I'm glad that I was able to listen to my music while there because, honestly, since I was fully conscious I was able to hear the cracking of my teeth being broken and pulled. The only thing that had any amount of pain during the procedure was when they did my bottom right one; it was coming in all wrong, laying on its side. They had to take some bone to get it out-- and now writing this and re-encountering the whole thing, I'm thankful for that dentist that I didn't feel any of that.

Unlike Draak, I was a bit careless of what I ate; about a week after the surgery I was eating solid foods such as a sandwich that I had to smush down a bit so I could bit it. I couldn't open my mouth like usual because they stitched the sides of my jaws and sockets with this dissolvable string. Luckily nothing bad happened. But don't be like me! Do what Draak did; be careful.

The worst part for me was taking the antibiotics they gave me. I'm not a huge fan of taking pills, especially the size of these babies. 2 times a day every... something hours. I also had a tooth fragment that kept cutting my tongue every time I ate. But that quickly solved itself.

But out of all that, there really was no pain for me after the surgery, just tiredness and a swollen face.

And if you want to take good care of your sockets, you might want to make a mixture of Clove oil and salt water and gargle that. Clove oil has a sort of tingling to it but it's really good for oral care.

Sorry if this is slightly off topic ish, but this seems to be a popular procedure? A couple years ago I was terrified at the idea of my wisdoms being pulled because they are growing sideways into my other teeth. HOWEVER, the dentist didn't seem to give a toss? So long as they don't start causing issues, they are left alone. So I'm going to assume other places take them more seriously, unless my issue isn't that bad.

But you aren't alone keyblade, it seems. Nerves are always horrible before something big happens, but you'll be fine. Best of luck to you!

I had to get two fillings a while ago in my teeth, and you need injections for that. I have a long history with needles and grew a fear of them- I don't have a low pain tolerance but something about their thin structure and how they go under the skin makes me shiver. I'd rather get a punch in the face.
But anyway, I was pretty nervous- though in the end one turned out to be painless, and the other was in a more sensitive place of my mouth where it hurt at first but once it's in you dont notice it as much.
TD:LR It's short, it doesn't hurt too much, and when it's done it's done and you wont have to think of it ever again. So clench your fists until it's over, friend.

o:

Yeah, that's what I thought too. I thought they'd only be removed if they were actually causing problems right then and there but ???????

Got them out this morning. All went according to plan. On a mixture of Tylenol and Oxycodone for the pain and feeling a lot better. Thank you all for your words and support. Definitely helped. ♥
