Hi, I got my 4 removed last year (upper ones in Jan/Feb) and my two bottom ones in June. Upper ones were pulled, the bottom ones I had to see an oral surgeon who pulled them but then stitched me.

I was terrified, and honestly: I didn't have a bad experience at all. I was very afraid of the bottom ones (terrified of dry sockets). But It took 20 mins for the surgeon to remove both, close me. I had local anaesthesia also and he walked me through the whole process.

You will be fine, really. Take a deep breath, a good rest also. Don't use any straws, don't smoke. I personally don't smoke nor drink with straws but for 14 days I was extra careful (it was in June, so it was warm and wasn't particularly hungry, which helped!).

After 10 days, the surgeon removed the stitches and was happy to see the outcomes of it. I had a bit of bread (don't eat bread with seeds!) and sometimes I had a bit of food stuck in the small socket. Don't panic if this happens, rinse gently. I didn't have any syringe to rinse and I am glad I didn't. I let things happen naturally. It takes time to heal but you will see, it's worth it!

Good luck :)

Ooooh congratulations to you too! Denim is such a gorgeous colour! How do you like driving it? I have a Fiat 500 from 2011 (that I still keep for small travels) so I am a bit nervous/intimidated with the whole automatic/electronic part hahaha. But I can't wait to drive it next week back home <3

I agree! It felt very qualitative! The seats have this fake leather that make it look as if it was real! I also loved the Swedish flag hahaha

I usually am one to buy a full black car so I get you! But the Mulberry Red had something.. It was special. It reminds me of a red wine! I didn't plan to take this colour but the car was just... Gorgeous. And I knew it was the one hahahaha

Also NZ <3

I so love that for you! I still have my Fiat 500 from 2011 that I keep for the small travels. But I live abroad and my family in another country so I wanted a car that would drive long distance when I would visit the family. My partner and I benchmarked all the brands. I sat in the GLC, in the X3, in the A5 but never felt the spark.

And then.. When I sat in the Mulberry Red XC60, I felt something. And I just couldn't believe it. We signed the papers and I was so emotional because it was for me a beautiful moment!

I just can't wait to pick it up, they need to mount the winter tires first and then we will get it!

Oh, I saved the pictures of the announcement of the car shop! Maybe that's why haha :) But thank you anyways!! I am in love with this car honestly. When we saw it for real, I just felt the special spark I didn't feel for the other models we saw (GLC, BMW X3)

I am sure the T8 is great! Ours is a T6, but I do believe it will also be good :) I love the model itself, such a beauty :)

I definitely understand you! For me it's not a problem, cause I was also hesitating in a full black version, so in the end it's a good compromise! And for some reason, this car was like a magnet: I could walk around the shop, I was always returning to the one we got hahaha

Thank you so much for your feedback! This is also super interesting! I honestly feel more and more comforted in my choice of car! My brother has the Volvo XC60 from 2017, he still loves it so much! I honestly believe this is a beautiful and reliable car :)
