Stop being such a gurl and call the bloody number. Do you forget how lobg waiting lists are? <slaps>
It is a bitch of an op and you'll be bruised and swollen after for a week, but the eventual relief from the pain and discomfort is worth it.
*hugs* Come on - be a man about it!
Sooner you get it done the better,
and lets face it the discomfort you feel now is not about to go away.
So be brave, make that call, and then make sure you take up the appointment, and then hopefully by christmas all should be well and you will have forgotten everything.
You mentioned not being scared because you have children,
well teeth extraction cannot be nearly as tough as child birth!!!
Look on the bright side, for a short operiod of time you get to legitimately use a class A drug. After that they just give you paracetamol, but it does sweeten the cup for a short time!
Best wishes and good luck

I had my wisdom teeth out when i was at college, went in for the day and was terrified. I was thrid in line to go in and had to watch the others coming out. I was put to sleep so cant remember a thing but afterwards i was sick. Just stock up plenty of soup and soft things.
Good luck

This is certainly not a very pleasant op, but that you need to have it is without any question whatsoever if you are to avoid very serious probs and pain as time goes by.
Do you by any chance have health insurance?
If so, there is a good chance that you can (a)claim all costs and (b) pick the top guy and hospital in the field.
My own view on dentistry is to go private every time ..... At least you have some control over the quality.
It doesn't have to be bad. My son went in to have his done in hospital and he was in discomfort for the rest of the day. After that he was OK.
Good luck and think of the relief - or better still don't think at all!
I had mine out after being put to sleep. I was told by the doctor of all the things that could happen after the operation but because of the pain and discomfort I had to go through with it. After the operation, to remove all four at once, there was only a little pain and no swelling or bruising at all and after a week it was life as normal.
So dont worry in the long run it will be good for you.
You will be fine and this is from an ex theatre dental nurse It will take about 45 mins you might wake with packs in your mouth which might make your jaw ache for a while but that’s it. Don’t eat anything to hot or cold for 48 hours. You may or may not have to go back for stitches to be taken out depending on how far into the bone they have to drill. If you want a full run down then PM me otherwise put it out of your mind till 24 hours before when your not allowed to eat that’s the hardest part!!!!!!! Oh and I had 28 hours of childbirth and I can tell you having my wisdoms out was a piece of cake in comparison! Had all 4 of mine out in my lunch hour under local and then continued to work in theatre for another 6 hours.
my name is down on the list.. am waiting for my appt to have mine done too.
am not looking forward to it.. but it cant be any worse than putting up with the constant ache that u have when they are in.
be brave... its worth it hun.

OMG I've found someone else with low blood presure! do you know how hard it is to fine anyone else? I know it's no fun but boy am i pleased! though I was the only one! How many times do they have to stab you with a needle before they find blood? my record is 19 times and 10 minutes! lol
Lol Butters, i know the feeling, felt like a pin cushion when i was pregnant, as they also had to test me for Gestational Diabetes (which i didnt have thank god) and needed to take blood 3 times with an hour in between! Oh what joy!
The worst was when i collasped with a severe kidney infection, and was dehydrated too, so they had terrible trouble finding a vein to put be on a drip :shock: I rarely swear but i nearly did then!
It can be hell! I've had cancer this year and oh my god try and fine a vein for the chemo when you have low blood pressure is like trying to fine gold in Beckhams under pants! Funny thing is I had normal bloody pressure when I was pregnant both times!
Don’t eat anything to hot or cold for 48 hours ... doesn't leave an awful lot when you exclude hot and cold does it?
lol too hot or too cold so no chillies or ice!
You may or may not have to go back for stitches to be taken out depending on how far into the bone they have to drill ... woah there ... a little TOO much detail!
Yea sorry forget people get squeamish!
It can be hell! I've had cancer this year and oh my god try and fine a vein for the chemo when you have low blood pressure is like trying to fine gold in Beckhams under pants!
Sorry to hear that butters999999, hope you're ok now. I know chemo takes a lot out of you.
Was told I am in remission on August 18th so only 5 years to go before I can say I’ve beaten it! I’m fine and thank god that I’m alive life’s for living so that’s what I’m doing.
BTW, who's Brian?
lol my brother whos hung like a donkey!
Im so sorry Butters, hope you come through this, you sound like your coping very well, Hugs :rose:
I'm fine wasn't back in Feb. / March time never been so low in my life! But now there’s no stopping me as a couple of friends found out on Tuesday night :twisted: ffm for 4 hours non stop boy was I a happy bunny!
But just think you wont be awake for it at all,youll just get to fall asleep and when you wake up itll be imagine if it was one of your kids,just think what youd be telling them right now and take your own advice!!!
