Great Way to Start My Summer

I had a Dentist appointment yesterday. While I was there, the hygienist working on my teeth noticed that I haven't had an x-ray on my teeth since 2007. So she gets the x-rays and keeps going back to this one that, to me, didn't look like anything was wrong with it. She then pointed out the very bottom corner of the x-ray to me and said that it looked like my wisdom tooth was growing in sideways. She wasn't sure, so she got the dentist and he looked at it. He needed a better view of it so I had to step into this huge machine and have this thing move around my head. I had to wait for the results and while waiting I was praying that everything was fine. She came out about 10 minutes later and showed me the x-ray. All four of my wisdom teeth are growing in sideways, and are down pretty deep, so I have to go to some other dentist and have him remove them. Everyone has been telling me their "horror stories" about when they had theirs removed. I am so not looking forward to it.

Hi there, getting your wisdom teeth removed won't be any big deal so don't worry about it. Most likely you will see an oral surgeon and he/she will have you asleep during the proceedure. When you wake up it will be all over!

aw blerg! they knock you out and then you wake up and pfft! Done! I was awake when the dentist took one of mine out at BYU. BAD IDEA. For the other two I was knocked out and it was totally fine! You get a little tiny squirt thing to clean out the holes for a few days but it's NUTHIN!

you'll do great.
