There is that old saying "Ignorance is Bliss" and for today ignorance would have been great. Being that I was a dental assistance for a while, I have to say extractions were the worst thing to had to watch. I can handle a lot of gross things, but extractions always made me squirm.
I have seen a number of extractions while I was a dental assistance, however I never been in the big chair myself. I truth, I've been putting off getting this done for many years and now I'm at a point where I can't wait any longer or I maybe facing bigger issues with my teeth.
Today I'll be getting my two lower wisdom teeth taken out which they both are impacted. Also, I'm getting one of my top wisdom teeth taken out because it came in backwards. As for my last wisdom tooth - it gets to stay. Why you may ask? Because I have two wisdom teeth on the other upper side (yes I have 5 wisdom teeth total) and they are being held up by my cheekbone and they aren't going anywhere.
Wish me luck! Maybe I'll put up a nice "after picture" to share with the world. At least I'm being put to sleep to get it done, I got some good meds to help with the pain, and a husband with a whole day off to take care of me.
eek...i can understand that ignorance is bliss thing. I had my wisdom teeth out awhile ago, and it wasn't so bad. Hope you get to watch lots of movies and eat lots of ice cream today!
