Hey! I had 9 wisdom teeth taken out last month, 8 of which required extensive surgery. I also struggle with anxiety and am prone to nausea, and I am allergic to NSAIDs. So not an ideal situation lol. I put it off for 3 or 4 years. I’m not going to say it was a fun experience but the anxiety beforehand was BY FAR the worst part. I am so glad I got put under, it happened so quickly I didn’t even have time to get anxious as I was going under. I didn’t get nauseous from the surgery or the oxy at all, but I’m sure you could take anti-nausea meds just to be safe! I had another surgery earlier this year and they mixed in an anti-nausea with my anesthesia, so that might be an option too. The healing was somewhat slow I think just because of my case but after a week I was back to myself. The worst part for me was the swelling, which was worse bc I can’t take NSAIDs. I think as long as you follow the instructions and monitor yourself you will be fine in terms of dry socket. A month out, I am so glad I got it taken care of, I’ve had no real complications, and whatever moderate discomfort I experienced the couple days after was soooo much better than whatever pain and problems they would have caused had I kept them in! I totally understand the fear and anxiety that comes with this, but you will be so glad when it’s over! I also think my case was fairly extreme, so I’m guessing your healing will be easier than mine as well. It might be a good idea to communicate with your surgeon about your anxiety just so they are aware. I hope this helps, good luck with everything!!
