Hello all,
Well, after having not seen a dentist for twenty years, I've conquered my
fear and completed the perioscaling and restoration work that I've needed.
Now comes the scariest part for me, I need to have all for wisdom teeth removed.
I am a bit scared of the procedure, but more of the aftermath and
risks involved with my age. The upper teeth are fully erupted and the lower
are partially erupted and partially stuck in the gums. I've had them for almost
twenty years and now the lowers are starting to bother and get mild infections.
Tomorrow I go to the oral surgeon for a consultation. Presumably we will pick
a date for surgery (soon, I hope). Any wisdom or words of comfort from you "older" folks out there who have had wisdom teeth removed? Honestly,
I'm scared to death of this (having major anxiety, etc.).
