WISDOM TEETH REMOVAL

Hey everyone!!

I am very proud to say that I have said farewell to my 3rd molars (wisdom teeth).

At 8am this morning I went to my oral surgeon and I signed my life away, went into a surgery room, sat down, and started crying lol.

I wasn't nervous at all until I got into the room. I told the nurse "I am really bad with needles", and she was like ok sit down and I'll give you the nitrous oxide." I sat down and she put it over my nose. Since I can't breathe through my nose due to my anatomy I wasn't feeling very high. I started crying my eyes out when she was asking to see my arm. she was one of those nurses that wasn't very sympathetic. Anyway I told her I couldn't do it over and over and she left and this other nurse came in. This nurse "Katie" was amazing! She was so kind and you could see in her eyes how sweet she was. anyway I told her that I couldn't breathe through my nose and she put the nitrous oxide over my mouth and I started feeling calmer. She put the IV in and it didn't hurt at all. I honestly didn't think she was even done but she was.

After that the surgeon came in and he said hi. He put something in my IV and he asked me if I had questions. I asked him about brushing my teeth. Then I swear I don't even remember closing my eyes, I just remember waking up in a different room and I felt awesome!

This is a video from when I was still at the surgeons. I took a couple other videos that I will make into one video. the other videos are from the drive back and then once I got home.

Honestly for all you nervous people. DON'T BE!
It didn't hurt and I feel great.
Right now I am taking
Clindamycin and Codeine and I have hardly any swelling! :)
