Wisdom Tooth Playlist

Fri, Mar 14th 2008, 09:22

In April I will finally have my wisdom teeth removed (they have been hurting me off and on for about two years now).

On Monday I am going in to have a consult with my oral surgeon because I am concerned about his suggestions. He wants to do one side one week, and the next the following week. He also wants to use local anesthetic.

I don't know about you, but I feel that if the first time is miserable, I will be dreading going back for the second. Wouldn't it be better to get it all over with at once? I am not sure.

And I have heard such horror stories about wisdom teeth, that the prospect of being awake for this really frightens me. Do I want to hear all the cracking and drilling?

My oral surgeon seems to think local anesthetic is better, but we'll see about that. He recommended that I bring some music to listen to during the surgery to calm me down, so I have started to compile a Wisdom Tooth Extraction Playlist.

This list is a work in progress, and I am open to suggestions. Also important to note is that the playlist is mostly an attempt to make light of the situation, as I will probably just be blasting "DU HAST" during the surgery and thinking that my oral surgeon really does hate me.

  • "Give Me Novacaine" Green Day
  • "Numb" Linkin Park
  • "I Want to Hold Your Hand" The Beatles
  • "Hurt" Johnny Cash
  • "Hole in My Head" Dixie Chicks
  • "Don't Be Cruel" Elvis Presley
  • "I Wanna Be Sedated" The Ramones
  • "Who Wouldn't Want to Be Me" Keith Urban
  • "Scream" Michael & Janet Jackson
  • "Try A Little Tenderness" Otis Redding
  • "Comfortably Numb" Pink Floyd
