I have a major tooth extraction dental surgery tomorrow... will i die?
Hey, my son had 2 wisdom teeth cut out when he was 17. He was petrified of the dentist until that day. Now, he said that the stuff that they use to make you relax was so good, that he wants to go back for more.LOL. He's lucky that I know he's only joking. Honestly, he's not scared anymore. Relax, you'll be fine.

Reply:You're going to be okay. They wouldn't do the surgery if they thought you'd die. Nothing's going to happen. Just clear your mind.
Reply:naw, you wont die.you're gonna be fine
Reply:Just hope the anesthesia works wonders..........
Reply:No, you will not die.


The nice thing about major dental work is that they will probably give you a nice sedative (like IV valium) or at least nitrous oxide.


I do not like the dentist either, and though I generally am not a drug-taker, Loooo--ooove the Nitrous oxide. It actually makes the dentist a fun experience.
Reply:I doubt it. Just breathe the gas and you won't care.
Reply:Relax, everything will work out just fine.
Reply:Dentists today are so precise and quick that you hardly feel a thing. At least it has been that way in all of my recent tooth extractions.
Reply:You will be fine!! I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth pulled last year and I had never had a tooth pulled before in my whole life. The dentist pulled them in his office the same day! I was scared to death, but it was not bad at all. I thought I would have black eyes and everything, but NOT!! You will be fine too. Good Luck!!
Reply:Dying is VERY unlikely. However your mouth is going to hurt for a day as the original painkiller wears off and you will need a prescription for something you can take at home to get rid of the ache of the extraction.





Tooth extraction is very common and complications are very rare. You need not be that anxious although tomorrow will not be the best day of your week.
Reply:You have to suck it up and remain positive. I know it's a bit scarey, but it's usually not as bad as we build it up to be. Tell your dentist your phobia, and let him/her decide which is the best agent to use for numbing, sleep, etc.


Those of us like you and me, fret and freak and get ourselves all worked up, and when the procedure is over we realize it wasn't all that bad,,, the hardest part is the stuff we put ourselves through worrying about it.
Reply:No, don't worry about it. Deep breath and get good rest, you'll be fine.
Reply:lets hope not dentist scare me too
Reply:Probably.
Reply:I survived. I was freaking out like you but it's been 2 weeks and it's only a distant memory. I promise you won't die so relax buddy. You've got my word!
