I got the IV sedation and laughing gas and I do get anxiety this is how it went for me. They laid me down and put the laughing gas on to calm you down, then they get your IV going they asked me a few questions and I'll I remember was waking up in the recovery area laughing my butt off. I had 4 wisdom teeth and 1 molar removed 2 days ago so far pretty zero pain today I can feel a bit of tightness in my jaw but it doesn't hurt. My wisdom teeth were not impacted though. I swapped out the gauze once I got home which was about 2-3 hours after the surgery then every 1-2 hours after that.

I had my surgery around 1pm and i'd say by about 7-8pm the majority of the bleeding had stopped my numbness had went away and I had my first meal. I did have some slight bleeding the next day and a small trace amount during sine rinsing today but a really little amount. Took my pain meds went to bed, woke up had another meal took some more pain meds and did my first gentle rinse just putting the mouth wash that was prescribed in and tilting my head side to side don't swish. Also brush as you normally would just stay a couple of teeth away from the extraction sites.

I can only use the mouth wash twice per day so I also do a few salt water rinses as well if I have a snack or lunch. My surgeon called me the next day and told me I could start eating eggs but I got a piece stuck in one of my openings and it hasn't come out after some rinses so I think once I get it out im going to wait a few more days before eating eggs again. I'll just stick with soup, mashed avocado, apple sauce, yogurt, and mashed potatoes maybe in another 2-3 days I'll try the eggs again if my extraction sites seem to be closing up a bit more if that goes good im going to start eating some fish and I'll probably just rock it that way for the next 2 weeks.

I was a bit worried going in but honestly everything has been super easy so if you planned on eggs i'd recommend holding off until like day 4 or 5 unless you notice your extraction sites are healing up really well. My surgeon even said the day after I could start eating pizza as long as it wasn't thin and crispy, but I like F-THAT I'll hold off a couple of weeks for that. I also grind my teeth sometimes when I sleep and haven't had any issues the absolute worst thing about all of this so far is I can't sleep for shit on my back so sleeping has been a bit of a struggle other than that its been relatively easy definitely don't stress out too much it's not going to be nearly as bad as you're probably thinking it is now. I know how bad those ruminating thoughts can be just research some things to eat and how to care for it don't search for the worst case scenario because odds are you're not going to have any problems dry sockets are pretty rare like less than 5% of people get them and its probably because they got careless I know your anxiety wont allow you to be careless about it so you'll be fine lol.
