They are actually putting you out? Lucky, I had to be awake for it... of course I think it was because mine were showing. It's nothing really, even awake it happened so fast it was nothing. I've been put out for operations before, and that is always a risk that they are required to tell you about... but it is nothing to worry about and you won't be under for very long anyway.

Trust me, it will be quick and painless. I have a crappy dentist, you know that, and the oral surgeon that I had was awesome so yours must be even better. The only thing that will be a problem will be the odd feeling of a bunch of gauze in your mouth afterwards... you will look like a giant chipmunk. You won't be able to use a straw to drink anything for awhile, nor should you eat anything really hot or really cold. In my case, warm tomato soup became my best friend. Solids are best avoided until the holes heal up right, both because of risk of causing damage and also because it just feels to damned weird.

...Oh yeah, that is another thing, even though yours haven't come out yet I am sure there will be little indents afterwards from where they were... and whenever you feel them with your tongue prepare for the weirdest feeling in your life! It heals over like there was nothing ever there after awhile, but while those are there it is like this strange compulsion to play with them. Seriously though, don't be scared.
