Oddly enough I feel more comfy anxietyposting here instead of twitter so uh. I preface this with Yes I’m A Grown Adult but I am irrationally anxious about This :’)

#i'm 26 coming on 27 and not had my wisdom teeth pulled and every year that passes by the thought of it freaks me out #main reason is because they never gave me issues or pain and anytime i saw a dentist they said it's likely i don't need them pulled #but as i get older it's like. is this the year they're going to start giving me problems?? should i have just bit the bullet and got them #out when i was younger despite them not giving me issues?? which in itself is terrifying because #everyone i know who's got the procedure talks about how awful it is and how much pain you're in for weeks afterwards and it's like hhhhhh #i'd rather not go through that much pain if i don't have to yknow? but also *do* i know if i don't have to? what if by the time i find out i #need to get them out it's too late? i've heard the procedure is more risky if you do it at an older age (though dont know how true this is) #like i think about this an irrational amount despite my wisdom teeth not affecting my life at all :') #but yeah...sorry for bein anxious outta the blue here; i don't post here much but it's still in a lot of ways where im most comfy Rambling
