Hi Holly, it’s a great idea to take the earlier appointment the day after your extractions. I think this will go a long way in easing your anxiety by not having to wait 3 days before you have a followup. Plus, as the office manager mentioned, you can make repeat trips during the week should you need them.

If you received a text for your appointment for 11:00 Tuesday, I’d go with that one since it has to be in the data base/appointment log for that time in order for you to get the automatic text. Hang onto the text for confirmation. Though, you’ll most likely get another the day before your appointment as well.

Hehe. I’m glad you’re remembering to breathe and exhale! Oh, that reminds me of one of my favorite ways to recenter my thoughts if they start running amok… picture a little box. Then inhale slowly 4 seconds while you imagine your finger drawing up one side…draw across the top while holding your breath 4 seconds. The exhale down the other side of the box and hold again for 4 seconds while you draw across the bottom. Then repeat! Give it a try!🤗
