I have bad experiences going to the dentist but i think i will have to remove my partial impacted wisdom tooth at the bottom left of my teeth. I am afraid of dentist what should i know about the procedure?

Get ready for some wrestling, u gonna get numbing agent injected in your gums with a big ass needle..

Should be quite easy, I did mine a while back RM 1.2k for just 1 tooth.
You wont be able to eat any warm or hot food for at least 3 - 7 days, stock up on ice cream.

Let the dentist inspect, depends on how the teeth are positioned. Treatment can range from extraction as described by conman124 to surgery where you can enjoy morphine.

You can visit two dentists to see what they say and answer your questions.

Sit down relax

Then dentist will give you a couple or a few couple of anaesthetic injections to numb the surrounding area. This is where it will be painful. But just for a few seconds.

Proceed to cut the gum if it requires surgery. No pain at all. You shouldn't feel anything at all.

If surgery not required, then dentist will proceed to extract the tooth.

U will feel some pressure (but no pain at all) as the dentist extracts the tooth. Like a tug of war.

Then it's done.

Dentist will put gauze at the extracted site to stop the bleeding. You can expect bleeding to continue for up to 12 hours and you are required to change the gauze by yourself every few hours.

After a few hours when the anaesthetic wears off, you will feel some pain from the extracted site. Like any typical wound pain.

Dentist will advise like do not rinse your mouth, do not eat any solid food, do not use straw to drink, etc.
