My Tooth Comes Out On Wednesday Really Nervous Any Tips On How To Relax

[gordiescotland1]

Hi I'm having a tooth out on Wednesday a lower molar it has had an abscesses twice in the last month I Was originally going to go to a hospital dentist because I'm on a blood thinner similar to warfarin and my own dentist was unhappy about it. However my own doctor reluctantly gave me a note to give him to say it was up to him. I went to see my doctor last week to get my usual pre med 4 Lorezapam the night before 2 in the morning and 4 one hour before appointment and when I was there I asked him about the risk of bleeding and he told me this drug I'm on is short acting only stays in system 24 hours so I can miss the night before and the night of the extraction my blood won't be as thin. I am still climbing the wall and very edgy anyone any tips on how I can relax between now and Wednesday I can feel this anxiety building and I need to have this tooth out it is rotten.

Blimey gordie.......if that doesn't do the trick, nothing will.

Nobody is relaxed about having a tooth out.

Dentist visits don't bother me at all, most people think I'm mad when I say that. The only thing I do dislike is the injections, mostly because I have had so many for upper teeth problems and that involves injections into the roof of the mouth.

Go for a good long walk.
Try and get engrossed in a good book.
Do things to distract the trip to the dentist from your mind.

Everyone is scared - but IT WON'T HURT. Hang on to that and distract yourself.
Then it will all be gone. A pre-med should surely do the trick. Bonne chance.

Mine comes out on Tuesday. There's nothing wrong with it but the gum has worn away. Mine won't hurt and neither will yours. Trust me.

Imo, it would be more helpful to get your depression /anxiety a bit more under control anyway. You shouldn't be this anxious this early. Hopefully it is already being treated, but a review might be helpful now.

When the dentist approaches you, you grab him by the testicles and say, "Now we're not going to hurt each other, are we?"

Well how did go? I survived yesterday's appointment with my dentist so hope that your visit today went well.
