I just had a wisdom tooth removed.. this was my 2nd time doing this and let me tell ya, the easiest part is when they put u to sleep.. its so strange and very fast.. honey, dont be scared.. everything will be fine.. you have to get these monsters out of ur mouth!! go back and give it another shot.. if they thought u werent healthy enough for General Anes, then why would they even allow it? relax.. i did this to myself last year with the panic attacks.. im still freaking out thinking i have a dry socket.. im in alot of pain, but im so happy i did it and just a few more days ill be back to normal.. all that worrying for nothing.. Give it another try.. Ill say a prayer for u

JUST GET IT OVER WITH!!!
