So yeah, I got back from the dentist about 1.5h ago. I was put under general anathesia, since I was getting all 4 done at once. It was an interesting experiance. They started putting the gas it, it tasted funny, my vision started to go all double and I was gone. Next thing I know, I'm waking up all wacked out.
They let me sit in the chair for about 30 minutes, until the drugs wore off enough for me to walk. I was talking the whole time. My brain seemed clear enough, but my body was just not co-operating. Anyways, after a while I walked out to the car with my mom, and I was pretty steady. By the time I got home, I was very stable.
Next thing, I read over the sheet they give you about what to do. Then I very gently rinsed some of the blood out of my mouth before putting the gause in to stop the bleeding (it's pretty much done now). Oddly, looking at the blood didn't disturb me on a conscious level, but clearly there was something going on in the depths of my mind, because I instantly broke out into an intense cold sweat. After putting the gause in, I had to lie down and regain my composure.
Next I had some water and waited 15 minutes to see if I would puke, which I didn't thanks to my iron stomach. After, I took a pain killer, some anti-biotics and an anti-inflammatory. Apparently, they gave me some strong stuff, stronger then condine. Good thing too, because the freezing is just starting to wear off, and my mouth is quite sore. Thankfully, the pain killers are kicking in now, and it's fading away.
Anyways, I just hope there's no complications. My aunt had dry socket when she had her's done. I'm still busy as ever, but I'll take some time to relax in order to aid my recovery. I wanted to save my teeth as a souvenier, but they had already thrown them out. All in all, the most nervous thing about it was when they put the needle in. I watched open-heart surgury on TV as a child, so I was primed for them to slice and dice. It's just that needles bother me, oh well.
