Upon waking from the anaesthesia, 18-year-old Raegan descended into an unexpected delirium, claiming her tongue had "split in two" and her mouth refused to open.

The young patient's anaesthesia-induced confusion triggered a wave of emotion, leading her to believe her surgery had left her with a permanent speech impairment. A glimpse in the mirror confirmed her bizarre assumption that her tongue, to her, appeared cleaved in two.

To calm her daughter down, Laura promised her a delicious tropical smoothie.

Fast forward a few hours, post-nap Raegan was shown the hilarious video of her antics. Despite her initial fear, the teen found her "split tongue" episode pretty amusing.

Laura told Newsflare: "She was loopy like this for about 30 minutes or so. After awakening from her nap later on, I showed her the video. She didn’t remember thinking her tongue was split but thought it was pretty funny."

This footage was captured on July 5 in Seaford, Delaware.

My 18 year old daughter Raegan got her wisdom teeth out and a few minutes upon awakening from the anesthesia said that she couldn’t open her mouth. She started getting emotional thinking something was wrong. Then, after looking in the mirror, she said that her tongue was split in two. I consoled her with the promise of smoothie from Tropical Smoothie. She was loopy like this for about 30 minutes or so. After awakening from her nap later on, I showed her the video. She didn’t remember thinking her tongue was split but thought it was pretty funny.

Moments after getting wisdom teeth out, she thought the dentist split her tongue in two.
