    Hi,
    New to boards. This is my first post.:)
    Went to my dentist, he did some x rays, and it turns out I have to have all four wisdom teeth removed. Went to the consultant, he was lovely, but date for operation is drawing nearer. Just starting to get a bit nervous.:(
    Anyone with any advice, tips or positive previous experiences of having their wisdom teeth removed?

    I am a Dentist but I also have had my wisdom teeth out. A friend of mine did them under local only. No problems at all, was eating within 1 hour and didn't even have to take a painkiller. These were lower wisdom teeth that were impacted. A little bit of pressure during the procedure but apart from that it was a piece of cake.

    My sister was sedated having hers out, she cant even remember the procedure.

    Thanks for that. I'm having a full general for mine. None of the four have come through the gum! So I assume all four will have to be cut out, top two are impacted, bottom two are angular, I think thats what the consultant said. Saw my xrays, all four are fairly badly positioned.
    He was saying it'll be a few after when I can start eating again.
    Just a bit nervous, of having a general I suppose- have never had one before, and don't know who the anaesthetist is either.
    Any advice?
