They’re gonna drill a hole in my face…
Okay, my mouth really, but face just sounds so much more dramatic. I’m getting three of my wisdom teeth pulled tomorrow and I am feeling overwhelmingly dreadful about it. I don’t like dentists (or any doctor for that matter) I don’t like the whole process of some strange person probing my mouth for problems. I know for some dentists aren’t really a big deal, but they’ve always been a signal of impending doom for me. My anxiety has manifested itself in me bingeing the last two nights and for some reason both of those binges were centered around cheese. I know the body often craves what it lacks. Maybe my body needs more calcium or more fat? I’ve only been gathering a rough estimate of my macros for the past week or so but I guess a more in-depth analysis is in order. Right now I’m gonna clamp my mouth shut and watch the biggest loser. Wish me well and hope that the doctor doesn’t sneeze while he’s performing the extration and I come out with a hole in my lip.

One good thing about getting your teeth pulled is that you will make up for the 2 nights of binging by not being able to eat. Good luck, I feel for ya!

Girl..I hate the dentist..I had my three removed last December. The recovery isn’t too much fun but you get through it. You won’t be able to eat much for two or three days so a little extra the night before won’t kill you!!
You will be fine!

i work in a dental office so tell me are your teeth visible in the mouth or are they impacted… What ever it is..you WILL be numb and you should feel pressure but NO pain…just make sure they give you…your pain meds, post op directions and plenty of gauze & you will be fine…I see it all the time and pple survive and you will too
I also got my impacted wisdom teeth out..i was put to sleep so it is a distant memory to me now…all i know is after i had vanilla shakes every day…IT WAS GREAT!!
