Good for you man. I remember I had 8 teeth pulled at once. I looked like a jack o lantern and my breath smelled like dumpster juice for about a week lol. Pasta is your friend.

well, i can eat like soup, and swallow macaroni whole. not fun. but ive been eating yogurt, thats supposed to help with the pains
Sorry your scared. I had my two upper ones done in one sitting back in the '80s by my dentist and like you I was unsettled. It's the great unknown factor I think. I only had 6 cavities to date, so extraction was the big time. It really helped knowing that my girlfriend (now wife) waiting outside and my dentist was a real pro.
He explained the procedure in great detail and what I was to expect. He then asked me to pick out a tape for the walkman to listen to (best of Cream) and I cranked it up. I had been given gas and a local. I was feeling very fine indeed. The album sounded great and the blonde dental assistant was looking even better
He was done before Crossroads was over. He then cranked up the oxygen and gave me a persciption for painkillers and I split. Total time was under and hour. Worst part of the day was getting home on the NYC subway!
My advice---Good luck, bring an iPod in case your dentist has crappy tunes and pay attention to his post-op list.

Audiobooks go well with Vicodin. You're laying in bed, seriously chemically adjusted, eyes closed ... and someone's reading you a story...
yeah, except i am a fairly big person, not fat, just big, im like 6,3. so i have to take alot of anything for it work, and then when it all catches up, its a big explosion of not-niceness.
