Sexual Assault Going Under To Get My Wisdom Teeth Taken Out, Worried I Will Have An Episode From The Drugs. Help?

[racheldiane]

So I emailed my dentist asking to meet with her and talk about the procedure, and she responded with,
"The majority of the time I use only one medication.
Midazolam AKA Versed

I sometimes use a second medication to help induce a little drowsiness
Diphenhydramine

I sometimes use Fentanyl or hydromorphone, to help alleviate discomfort or help calm some patients. Any questions please call."

I got this e-mail over a month ago and didn't respond because I got triggered by thinking about it. I felt like she was being short with me and didn't want to waste the time meeting with me (I'm guessing this wasn't the case, but that's how it felt when I read it). I've researched the drugs, and still don't feel totally safe about it. Midazolam is supposed to have anti anxiety properties, but I'm still worried. I guess I've just been procrastinating and my wisdom teeth are getting worse, I know I need to have the procedure soon before they f*ck up my mouth but honestly I just don't want to deal with it. Not getting my wisdom teeth out would mean higher risk of gum disease, crooked teeth, and a high likelihood of infection (they've already gotten infected once from me procrastinating about this) so I know I NEED to get them out I just don't like the idea of being given a bunch of sedatives . . . I don't know what to do ):

If I were you, I would tell your doctor your concerns. Chances are she has run into similar situations (or atleast bad reactions/phobias regarding sedation) and can help you decide what's the best option for you.

As your doctor wants to fix you, they don't want you worried about the procedure when you have so many other things on your mind.

When I ended up in the hospital earlier this year I noted I had PTSD on my intake forms, which led to my nurse asking me about any triggers I may have. Although it was weird talking about it, I could relax more after they knew what might cause stress and I'm pretty sure he could do his job better knowing certain parameters.
