A member asked:

I'm having 2 wisdom teeth out by an oral surgeon and i am scared stiff. how do i better prepare for this?

You are normal: The thought of having wisdom teeth removed can be frightening. You should discuss your fear with your surgeon who can provide you with answers and sedation options to allow you to have a comfortable and safe procedure.
