SapphireNoir10 Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Take deep breaths and calm down. Its never as bad as you think it will be. Link to comment
sarey Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 It's just taking your teeth out. They do it all the time. Nothing will go wrong. Just try and relax. I know how hard that is, having anxiety disorders myself, but keep telling yourself you'll be okay, have a shower/bath, try to calm yourself. Link to comment
Perfect Dark Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Honestly it's not that bad, I've had 2 out too. It doesn't hurt at all, just tugging. I was shaking so bad before. But honestly you'll be fine. Link to comment
redrose85 Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 The anxiety is worse than the actual procedure. Getting the teeth out was a big blur... just a lot of pulling and tugging, and I'm pretty sure I slept through most of it. I'm dreading having a root canal done today though... because I will be stuck on that chair for 2 plus hours, wide awake and aware of everything they're doing. Are you getting sedation for it?

annie24 Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 deep breaths. it will be ok. will they knock you out? if you are an anxious person, it's probably better for you to be asleep. i was. it was fine. got all 4 out at once, and i felt fine afterwards. i ate solid food for dinner, and went to work the next day.

ghost69 Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 just think about the meds you get. that should calm you down and help you look forward to it. Link to comment
Roberto34 Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 See, when I get anxious, I get these SWEATY, cold, and clammy hands. I absolutely hate it. We had a meeting today at work, and it happened. I absolutely hate that about myself, and I feel for the OP. I'm also starting classes next week, and I'm sure that I'll have it happen as well. First I get the sweaty, wet hands, then I start to sweat even more all over. I hate it... Link to comment
Perfect Dark Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 All I got was a shot in the gums, they don't put you 'asleep' here. Link to comment
ghost69 Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 All I got was a shot in the gums, they don't put you 'asleep' here. depending on the procedure they do. sometimes they give you a choice of which you want. Link to comment
Perfect Dark Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 depending on the procedure they do. sometimes they give you a choice of which you want. Lucky, they don't give you that option here. If you wanna be 'put to sleep' you have to go to hospital for the treatment. Link to comment
ghost69 Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Lucky, they don't give you that option here. If you wanna be 'put to sleep' you have to go to hospital for the treatment. are you sure? some people need some serious dental surgery and they still do it in dental offices here. it might be more like an outpatient medical facility other than the dental office, but you don't have to go to an actual hospital.

I am pretty sure. It's different in the U.K. If you want the medical treatment eg: put to sleep you have to go to hospital and pay more. I went drinking 3 hours later lol. Dentists wont put you to sleep with gas, as it's dangerous, apparently. Link to comment

At least theres a good chance some people might just think you ran to class, rather than you shaking or trembling.... Link to comment
annie24 Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 depending on the procedure they do. sometimes they give you a choice of which you want. yeah - especially if you tell them you get bad anxiety, it may be easier for them just to put you out. i'm the kind of person who would flip out if you tried to take my teeth while i'm awake. even if i can't feel it!!!

calidreamin0 Posted January 22, 2009 Author Share Posted January 22, 2009 its just the top two, so the surgeon said numbing would be fine, but if i get nervous they can give me some nitrous oxide (woohoo!). but no, im not getting 'actually' put to sleep. I did get put to sleep on the bottom two. But the surgeon said the tops are easier and quicker to get out. Link to comment

LOL i was scared of needles when i was younger. (this was for other teeth) Link to comment
