My dentist refered me to an oral surgeon to get my WISDOM TEETH removed.?

he told me that he would have to cut them out cuz they are partially under the skin and that they were as much out of the skin that they are going to be. he said the roots are deeeeeeep that they were in there good. what does that mean and when i am under anesthesia, what are they going to do and how are they most likely going to get them out? they are not impacted, but they are barely out of the jaw bone. WILL THEY CUT, DRILL, SAW, OR JUST PULL THEM???????!!!!! PLEASE HELP,,,, I AM A DENTAL PHOBIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When you go in for your appointment, tell them NOT TO BE SPECIFIC - the less you know about what's going to happen the better!





Just let them do their job efficiently, painlessly and quickly!





Extracting teeth isn't all that painful these days. They numb you up good! Just like they numb you up for a Root Canal.





Just close your eyes, breath deep and hold onto the arm rests!





Most Oral Surgeons have music in their offices. Maybe that will calm your nerves.

Worry not.





Give you anaesthetic they will.





Remove teeth pain not much will you feel.





Later pain will come better off will you be.





Pull them out they will.
Reply:Almost everyone gets their wisdom teeth removed, it completely normal. The dentist will give you shots for the pain and then he will cut your gum above the tooth and pull out the tooth. There will not be any drilling or sawing, simply some cutting and pulling will be involved.
Reply:Are you having a problem with them? Are you in oain. My dentist told me I need to get mine surgically removed as well. I had no porblem with them. I went to get a second opinion and was told that if they were not bothering me that I did not need to worry about it.
Reply:They will cut some and pull. Don't worry, you won't feel a thing. I know someone who had it done too.
Reply:just had mine out in march. trust me, you will be fine! it felt like it only took 5 minutes. i went under general anesthesia (which means you basically fall asleep almost instantly) very safe, they are monitoring your vital signs. don't worry about "how" they will get them out, just make sure that you get plenty of rest afterwards and take a few days off work. the swelling will go down within a week. they will give you pain medicine..the first day, not much pain, but very swollen. i was eating normal foods by the 4th day. good luck!
Reply:they will cut the gums open and get a good grip on the teeth through the cut and pull them out..... don't worry, the anesthesia will keep you from knowing a thing that's going on, you'll be asleep....then you'll get prescription pain meds to take home....you'll do fine
Reply:I had my two top wisdom teeth pulled out by my dentist last summer and he said he wasn't going to be able to do the bottom two and sent me to an oral surgeon. So I went and the surgeon said she could only remove one since there is a slight chance for temporary or permanent numbness from removing the root so far into the gums and because of the nerves in the mouth. I suggest going under anesthesia, I didn't and wished I had. They will pull the tooth, I think she kind of dug the tooth out from under the skin, I don't think she cut my gums. Then she put a couple stitches in and they came out on their own in a couple days. Just make sure you get the pain killer they prescribe, I really needed the vicodin, but after a couple days I was good, a little sore still but not in much pain.
Reply:Had it done with a "oral surgeon". I have very large teeth and my roots were extra long. The worst part is signing a release paper that states you could die during surgery. I signed it, cried while going under anesthesia. Awaken to a dish of broken teeth and no pain. Take your pain pill right away because once home, you will feel the pain. I could not eat for days..........LOST WEIGHT. I stayed with my mom for days after, she treated me very well. Best of luck. P.S. I did have nerve damage for a few months because my roots were very near the nerve and if touched, they could possibly damage it. My month would numb up with no feeling when I would talk which caused me to talk funny but it only lasted a few months and only occurred several times.
Reply:hats off to you !!
Reply:your first visit to the hospital will be a consultation,with the consultant,he or she will explain what is going to happen when they take your wisdom teeth out,explain that your nervous, they will understand and try to put you at ease.it sounds like they are going to give you general anaesthetic,so you will be asleep throughout the procedure,which is great cause you wont feel a thing.they will make a cut into the gum to gain better excess to your tooth and trim the bone then leaver the tooth out,after they have done this they will put one or two stitches in to close the socket up a bit. you will wake up feeling sore but I'm sure they will prescribe you some painkillers and probably a course of antibiotics to prevent any infections during the healing process.I'm sure you will be advised to rinse with SALT water for a few weeks. after having your teeth out you probably wont feel like eating but try and eat soft things such as pasta fish soup thd bread. good luck.
Reply:yes. general practitioners cannot perform odontectomy unless they had an experience to do so. its not that so scary coz its like normal extraction. they would perform block anethesia and after that you would not feel anything, they would use the drill if your teeth was embedded in the bone and have them cut by sections if its difficult to remove with forceps.
Reply:dont worry. I am an oral surgery assistant. i will tell you exactly whats going to happen, and i have had it done myself. First, they will give you a mask to put over your nose that gives you laughing gas. then they will give you a little needle in your arm that will put you to sleep. Dont worry. with the gas you wont care about the needle. then they will make small incisions in the gum tissue over the tooth. if the teeth are under the bone, they will use a drill to remove the bone. then they will take an elevator (it kind of looks like a screwdriver) and they will put it under the tooth and elevate it out. Sometimes they have to drill the tooth in half to get it out, but in any case, the whole thing usually only takes 30 to 45 minutes, and you wont know a thing. Its usually a little sore aferwards, but only for a day or two. It is really not bad at all. you can email me if you have any questions.
Reply:They will probably come right out with no sectioning since they are slightly exposed. Piece of cake!! Ice on your cheeks when you get home.
Reply:Don't worry about it. they will have to cut them out. You will have plenty of meds so you won't feel anything. The day after there will be soreness, but i'm sure they will prescribe pain med's to help.
Reply:Listen to me very carefully (or better read)


dmd means doctor of dental medicine. i m one level(2 years more educated) upper than a dsd (doctor of dental surgery)


The information i ll give is NOT a book info, it is a personal idea. Usually bigger ppl use too many force when doing things. But petite ppl use tecnicks so good. I mean, a 190 cm long surgeon is usually depending on his muscle forces, but a 160 cm surgeon usually use tecnicks to get it out. And when dsd use tecnicks and not too much force on you, u wont even feel what happend there.(Height is not important, i m talking about power,methoods and tenderness)
Reply:The hardest part is getting over the fear. Its a common practice to remove wisdom teeth. They will first rub the gum with a numbing agent, then give you a numbing agent through a shot then you will feel nothing except a little pressure from him pulling, but you dont normally feel pain. If your really scareed tell your dentist and alot of times they will give you a pill to help relax your nerves or sometimes even put you to sleep if removing more than one tooth.
Reply:Where are you located. If your in texas there is a awsome dentist in Pflugerville name Dr. Mark Smith I know I have that phobia also He is great and you will feel at ease.
Reply:I am scared to death of dentists!! I did have my WISDOM TEETH taken out. You are totally asleep and won't feel anything. Good pain meds and your on your way. STOP ASKING SO MANY QUESTIONS...your only gonna freak yourself out!!
Reply:realx.. no matter what happens.. u'll be half asleep and woudn't know sh**if someone even sawed ur arm away...





nope it wont hurt even after you wake up.. some slight swelling maybe..
Reply:Not to worry my friend....all will be well!!! just sit back and enjoy the ride....you may have a swollen face for a few days and some minor jaw pain but the medicine they prescribe will take care of everything....(in slow motion if you are lucky) that was my most favorite week of my life....damn percocet!!
Reply:don't worry with the anethisia you will be fine. i'm going to have to get my wisdom teeth pulled out too! good luck
Reply:You will be asleep, don麓t worry about it.. I had it done, no problem at all.
