I am making myself a wreck over this yet to be planned upcoming surgery to have my impacted wisdom teeth out. All weekend I was fighting anxiety, so badly so that yesterday I woke up with my jaw locked shut. This morning, I awoke in pain from my jaw again though it was not locked. I’m also in pain down the back of my neck to my shoulders. All that so bad that it woke me from sleep and I take medication which helps me sleep! I need to relax about this surgery plan but I don’t know how. Later today, I am going back to see my dentist to see if she has ideas about this jaw pain and I am going to ask her some questions about the surgeon and the surgery.
I’ve already been offered an amazing amount of support. She, the dentist, has said she will go with me to the surgery consultation and be there with the surgeon on surgery day so I am not afraid. I am a bundle of anxiety (as you can tell from reading this blog) and she would hold my hand and help calm me on both occasions so things could get done. My fears of dental things are amazingly high and so far she’s proven to be the only one who can get me to calm down or cooperate with things when needed. I feel bad just for bothering her later today but my jaw pain is so bad that I have to.
I wish I could just have the wisdom tooth removal as soon as possible, but because I work from now until the end of June that isn’t possible. That leaves me with plenty of time to worry about it. Most people would be able to just put it from their mind – especially with the offer of support like what I have – but I’m not most people.

Oh my goodness, why do you have to worry till you suffer so much pain?
I think you just focus on the days ahead.
Just think about a week after the removal of wisdom tooth, and you are eating your favorite steak or ice cream or whatever else you like to eat.
Talk about dental fears you are not alone. I have always battled with this feelings and it scares me all the time. It has never been easy for me to get through any dental problem, but when you think about the pain and discomfort that it's giving you that will motivate you so much that you will want to just take yourself to him dental clinic and have the distirbingbtooth removed. So far I think that is what has taken away the terrifying feeling of having to go to him dentist. So just think of the pain and the relief that you will have after the removal you will be just fine. Don't focus your thoughts on The D day just think about the relief it will give you.
This is terrible to undergo a dental surgery due to an impacted wisdom tooth. I don't know if I could resist my fear when regards to this surgery. In an ordinary tooth extraction I already have a great fear. I remember when I was a kid I complained to my parents that I had a toothache. I kept on crying at night which had disturbed their night sleep. In the morning I was brought by my late father to the dentist for a check up. The dentist examined my tooth and scheduled my tooth extraction for three days until my swollen tooth would get back to normal.
I took the medicine. It seemed that my toothache didn't bother me anymore. I could sleep well at night. The third day had arrived. I told my father that I don't want to see the dentist anymore for the schedule of my aching tooth removal for I don't experience any ache anymore. My tooth swollen gum went back to normal. I felt no pain anymore. But my father threatened me that it would recurring if it won't be pulled out. Then I decided. It was done and I felt no terrible pain.
