Wisdom Teeth

This afternoon I went to the teeth surgeon,so he could look at my teeth and tell me all the scary stuff that will be done to my teeth and careful care that will be needed to be done post procedure. When the nurse asked how old I was,and I said fouteen she said "You are a very tall fourteen year old... I thought that was kinda cool. Then the Doctor came. Dr. W. had ultra cold hands,maybe it was to keep germs or what not away. He basically went over what his nurse before hand had informed us of. Honestly,the scariest thing I am afraid of is being asleep. They are gonna do it by IV which is even creepier. I mean I watched my blood be drawn by my PEDs doctor,I also watched when I had to get a tetnus shot and all my other ones too!!! I guess I am just afraid of the initial feeling of it. My Mother is a definite wealth of information with all her "I knew a guy/girl/your Dad/Me who..." and there is always a bad experience they went though. If you are already nervous enough,why do parents tell you all the stuff that COULD go wrong instead of saying "everything will be ok?". One bad thing about having parents who are both "in the medical field",they always have bad stories about patients they have treated in their lifetime. It is always real comforting to hear these stories before you go get whatever is needed(best said sarcastically). On the other hand they always get what Doctors are saying about you,so there is no worries of not "getting it" as some non-medical parents can sometimes be. It was funny when the Doctor put up my x-ray of my teeth and my Mom exclaimed "Her top wisdom teeth are very near her nasal cavity". Probably until my Mom said she was a X-ray tech did he know why she knew that. All in all everything went ok and I will be getting the un-looking forward to pulling of all four wisdom teeth on July tenth....whooopdido(best said sarcastically again)

Your oral surgeon will have to be on extra guard now that he knows what your smart mother knows!

So never fear!

Do you have to have this done in the hospital?
