I went to my oral surgeon today and got a bunch of x-rays... and the final word? I'm going to be getting surgery one week from today (6/22) to remove all 4 of my wisdom teeth. The bottom two are partially impacted and the top two are right on their heels

You'll be fine, and you'll probably get felt up by your doctor as a bonus while you're unconscious.

BONUS!

Mine were impacted as well, and I had an infection. Trust me, the painkillers are awesome! I wish I had them then.

Are you having them stitch you up afterwards, or are they just pulling them out?

[angelroxy781]

Well... they're only partially impacted, so they still will need to do some cutting back there to get them out. They'll be stiched up with dissolving sutures.

You'll be fine, you have all of those meds...you'll be great. I wish I could be there with you!! You'll be top notch when you get here, I'm sooooo excited that you'll be here so soon, I can't wait to see you ;)

Love you!

Heh. I was kind of grumpy since I couldn't get you earlier this morning... but I feel a lot better now! I'm actually going to be calling you in just a short bit.

Smile Eeore!

It'll be okay. I had all four of mine taken out a couple years back, and it wasn't as bad I was expecting it to be. Didn't even need the painkillers after the second day. It's hard to chew for the first week or so though, so you might want to stock up on soup, mashed potatoes, and other soft foods ahead of time.
