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.

    Not to add to your fears, but wisdom teeth surgery is also where a lot of people first interact with prescription pain medication. Depending on your situation and doctor, you can receive anything from higher strength ibuprofen or Tylenol to Percosets. Try to be mindful of how powerful pain medication is and if you can have someone you trust with you it’s even better. Overall, it’s not a very scary procedure and you’ll be fine :)
