Wisdom tooth removal isn't too bad. My oral surgeon even used this cold spray, so he had the IV in and I literally didn't feel anything. The worst part for me was afterwards; I woke up home alone, since everyone was at the hospital with my sister, who was in labor, and I was covered in blood from rolling over a lot. I basically sat in the bathroom bawling until the sedatives went away and I stopped flipping out. |

| ZeldaQueen | Did you see your picture on a wanted poster in the oral surgeon's office afterwards? | |

| ZeldaQueen | I'm getting all of them out at the same time. I was already panicky when I met the doctor (he said "they'll have to be removed" and added "not now" because I nearly dove out of the dentist chair). He then started telling me about the procedure and the IV and had me sign a notice saying that I realized all of the things that could happen because of the procedure. I was not in a very good state of mind that day. | |

First time I had it done, I was scared to death. I was freaked the hell out and well-attuned to any incoming pain. Xanax had stopped working to calm me down, so I went in without anything. When I woke up, I thought that they had tried to give me the anesthesia and failed. I didn't realize the procedure was over because to my brain it happened as quickly as blinking your eyes. The other tooth had to be taken out a year later and I was all freaked out again thinking it was a fluke. I thought I lucked out the first time and this time I would be in for much more suffering. Nope, went the exact same way. My clothing all seemed to be intact and I didn't have a baby who looked like my oral surgeon nine months later, so I'm fairly sure all went well. |

Woot. Thanks, I feel a lot better about it. And yes, my mom will be present. They refuse to perform the surgery unless there's somebody to drive the patient home (someone not stoned on painkillers). |

| Fathom Zero | I have to be HEAVILY sedated for such procedures. My body's resistant to pain killers. | |

If I were you, I'd have a friend or relative present during the procedure. I've read a few news stories about dentists molesting patients...

I can't think of going out any faster. I was conscious of them putting a needle in my arm and then that was it. It was even faster than getting general anesthesia for surgery, because even then I'm conscious of being on the table and having the mask put on me and breathing in. Seriously, to your brain it's the same as them putting the needle in, then pulling it out and you go home. Your brain doesn't have any knowledge of anything going on in the meantime. It's like blinking, or drifting off and waking up. You might be disoriented, but it doesn't even feel like time has passed. |

I seriously hope you go out fast from it. I'm getting an IV for my wisdom teeth removal. I HATE the thought of anything (tubes, IV, needles, etc) being put in my skin. I'm hoping like heck that I'll be out before I can seriously get freaked out by it. |

IV sedation is so fucking wonderful. When I had it to have two cracked and abscessed molars removed, I loved it so much I sent the dental office a gift basket. Put needle in, ____________________________, pull needle out and go home. <3 |

When I was seven, I went in to have a root canal done, and the easiest way for them to do it was to wait for the nitrous to kick in, then give me the Novocaine. Well, my dentist basically said 'Fuck it', strapped me to the table, and tried to give me the shots, while I was flipping the fuck out since I didn't know what was going on. Ever since then, I've been terrified of dentists; I either have to be on an assload of Valium and nitrous, or IV sedated. |

In elementary school, I was going through an old magazine and I found a "Do you know what your child is reading?" ad in the back. Why it freaked me out was that it also showed the cover of a PETA booklet titled Your Mommy Kills Animals, which shows a housewife stabbing a rabbit with a bloody knife (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Yo...als_Poster.jpg). |

lol When I was really, really small, I was walking a gangplank to get into a little riverboat museum and I looked down into the water. There was this itty bitty gar, couldn't have been more than a foot long. It was just hovering near the surface. I saw its teeth and thought for sure it was a barracuda. I flipped the fuck out.

I gave my brother a couple of pretty good traumas. He watched horror movies obsessively; he'd watch the VHS tapes over and over until my mom would hide them. Even though he watched them over and over, they'd still spook the shit out of him. One day I found a promotional Child's Play bumper sticker someone had left on the school bus. He was afraid of Chucky (he had a My Buddy doll he got rid of), so I waited until he was getting ready for his shower and taped the Chucky sticker in the bathroom closet at eye level. All you could see was Chucky's face leering out of the dark. It was great. After that, he always left the bathroom closet door open. Then he got into the Blair Witch thing, which I thought was the dumbest shit around. He was one of those who thought it was a true story (he was still in elementary school). We lived out in the woods, so of course I had a great time hanging those stick people from trees and leaving bloody flannel-wrapped bundles of hair and "teeth" (squirrel corn broken and painted white) for him. He was freaked out by that for a long time. |
