Really worried about getting wisdom teeth out. any tips/advice for me?

Discuss your concern: The best thing to do is to spend the time with the dentist who is going to remove your wisdom teeth. He\she can explain why you need them out, how they will be removed, and should be able to put you more at ease. It's normal to feel the way you do. Wisdom teeth can be removed without any pain with local anesthesia, and "laughing gas" or even IV sedation if necessary.

Yes: Have an oral surgeon do the extractions. They do this all day long and can be quicker and less traumatic, hence less post op pain and complications.
