SO SCARED ABOUT DENTAL EXTRACTION! WHAT DO I DO!?

I work for an oral surgeon and see about 10 extractions a day. No one ever feels a thing. It's actually weird how easy teeth come out. It little take a couple wiggles and they come right out. The doctor will not do a thing until you confirm with him or her that you are totally numb. You can be put to sleep completely if you can't calm your nerves or get laughing gas to give you a floating careless feeling. Once it's over (about 10 minutes) make sure you bite down hard on the gauze and take it easy for a couple day and eat soft food that's not too hot or cold. If you feel discomfort the doctor should have given you a prescription for pain medication to take. You'll see you wasted time worrying for nothing once it's over so try your best to relax by coaching yourself mentally about how routine and simple this is. Good luck!
