Sorry, you probably get a bunch of these but I hope you are willing to hear me out and let me know what you think.

The oral surgeon basically said there's not really a point in doing a cone beam ct as he can see the tooth is basically touching the nerve.
He said I was at high risk for permanent nerve damage and would estimate 5%-10% of having permanent nerve damage.
Well, I'm nervous as fuck to say the least. I can't imagine going through life with half my face numb...seems like it would be hard to eat...talk...do anything really.
Is there any other options besides to just extract them? If it must be done, should I search for the very best dentist I can find/travel to do it? If it would minimize the chance for damage I'm willing to pay much more.
They aren't really bothering me right now....I'm also considering just waiting until they do, but at the state they seem to be in wouldn't buy me much time.
I guess I'm just hoping for some reassurance and your opinions.
Thanks for reading.
