I get my wisdom teeth taken out in two weeks and I’m both excited and scared. Excited because I won’t have this pain anymore, scared because I’ve never had surgery of any kind.

But I woke up this morning with pain and my cheek being swollen. And it’s where my wisdom tooth is impacted. Those of you who are not familiar with that, it means that it’s pushing against my molar. And it hurts. A lot. I want to wait the two weeks until my surgery but I’m in pain as of now. Is there anything I can do to lessen the pain? I just have to hold out until the 29th.
