How feel I feel after having seven teeth removed and after being under IV sedation?

I have exactly four hours before time to go to the oral surgeon and I am nervous. I am going to have seven teeth removed and I am horrified! I don't like not knowing what to expect. What am I going to feel like after having all those teeth removed? Just FYI, five are wisdom teeth (I have an extra one that hasn't grown in yet) and the two bottom ones are decayed and broken off into the bone. The other tooth is in front of the bottom wisdom tooth and there's an upper tooth on the side that's cracked.





Will I feel sleepy after the IV sedation? Also, if I require stitches, which I'm sure I will, do those hurt? Does it hurt to have them removed or do they give you disolvable ones?





How long will it be before I can eat regular food again? Is there any possibility that I won't wake from the anesthesia?





Any advice you can give would be great!

This is very routine, don't worry. I have worked in oral surgery forever (literally, my dad is an oral surgeon and now I work for a practice that has 6 doctors). The IV is the only thing you will feel, and that is just a little pinch! You will wake up all groggy. Go home and sleep. After the anesthetic wears off, you will have some discomfort, but remember, this is surgery, although it is is not considered major surgery, it is still invasive! Make sure you stay hydrated, push lots of clear liquids. Someone answered and said not to drink, they have no idea what they are talking about! Your oral surgeons assistants should go over all of your post-op stuff with you again, and with your ride. It is normal to feel some anxiety before surgery, but it is not good to freak yourself out like you are doing! I hope this helps. Email me if you have any questions~
Reply:It wont be so bad with modern dentistry. You will be sent home with pain relievers and antibiotics. Try to relax and not worry.
Reply:I dont think they will take 7 teeth together...the bleeding will be too much i guess. They will take one or two then ask you to come later. And abt the pain...after the injection, you wont know a thing even if they blow off your lower jaw with a dynamite...lol
Reply:I was freaked when I was getting my wisdom teeth pulled, but they gave me some numbing cream on my arm for the IV, and when they gave it to me, I literally felt nothing. They took me to the operating room, and the doctor told me he was going to give me something that would make me fall asleep, I was out seconds later. When you wake up you are so drugged up, you can't feel anything. I was pretty much out of it for the whole day. Just go home, take your meds and you will be fine.


I got dissolvable stitches and they didnt hurt at all. They will just fall out within a few weeks of surgery and it wont hurt a bit.


Hope everything goes well for you!
Reply:You might feel a little sleepy - they give you pain medication so that makes you sleepy too.


For a while after the surgery, until the numbing meds wear off, your lips will be swollen. I couldn't drink for the first few hours after my surgery. The stitches dissolve, so worries there.


Your face will probably bruise, mine turned horrible shades of purple, black and green %26amp; my face was swollen for a few days afterwards.


You'll probably want to eat mushy foods for a few days, the surgeon will explain what you can and can't eat. Believe me, the discomfort you'll feel is FAR elss than the pain you're going to be in without the surgery.
