I have to have my wisdom teeth pulled soon and I'm soooooooo scared. It would be reassuring and therapeutic if I could hear other peoples experiences so I can be prepared. I am thinking of going under general anasthesia but I'm scared I might sleep forever and die and never wake up! This will also be my first surgery, I have NEVER had surgery or stitches in my whole entire life, and I have never had general anasthesia before. And I can't imagine getting stitches, having a needle poking through my gums and my live flesh and blood!!! That is so scary.
I know it's only very minor oral surgery, not anything major like heart surgery or anything, but I read on the net that it's still possible to die from getting your wisdom teeth taken out, but I think the fatality rate is like .01 %
Also please let me know if you just had a shot of novocaine, or did you go under full anasthesia? And did you have to have stitches???? Did it hurt a lot? Please tell me your stories so I
can have the courage to get my wisdom teeth out
