No: If you are seeing a competent oral surgeon, then you are in good hands.It is normal to be anxious, and healthy as well. After all, t is surgery and you will be in discomfort afterwards.You need to be prepared for how you will deal with this. Follow the instructions -ice , fluids and Ibuprofen and rest. If you are particularly worried, ask for something to take the night before and day of, to relax.

No: Having your wisdom teeth removed can cause some anxiety. However, with use of proven surgical techniques, anesthetics, and medication for anxiety and pain control, you have little to worry about. You may want to talk to the surgeon about sedation(light sleep). Follow the post-op instructions to prevent most complications.

No: There are risks and concerns with any surgical procedure. In the hands of a board certified oral & maxillofacial surgeon, wisdom tooth extraction is routine. For best results, see an oral surgeon for exam/recommendations.
