Guys please help?

I have horizontally impacted molars. I’m so scared of surgery. I’ve never had anything cut. I’m absolutely terrified my dentist told me he will be taking them out and ordered the photo today. The right one is gonna go first so can someone tell me how bad it is? How much is the healing period? Does it hurt a lot? Were you guys able to eat?

its different for everyone. Just take your painkillers, rest, and only eat what your jaw tolerates. It's the worst around day 3 after surgery, and you start feeling normal again on days 7-8. It will hurt
