Recommendations on getting my wisdom teeth removed (beehaw.org)

hola!

I'm extremely nervous because on Wednesday I'm scheduled to get my wisdom teeth removed. My main worry is getting my nerves damaged and having to be on pain forever.

I also have never had any surgical procedure done before, so not knowing what to expect from having three pieces removed has me crawling up the roof.

Many say it should get done as soon as possible, but I'm seriously considering calling it off. The pain I felt two weeks ago is gone now 🥸

Any advice (either for before or after the procedure) is welcome and deeply appreciated.

Mooncabbage is giving some excellent advice already but one more tip: I had the option to spend 10 bucks to (directly after surgery) have a mesh of fine tubes on my face for 30 minutes through which they pumped really cold water. I was still drowsy and barely remember it BUT I had very little swelling and I think the cold mesh immediately after the procedure did it.
