Been putting off getting my wisdom teeth removed for years since they weren't bothering me. Also I was afraid of the surgery. A wisdom tooth was starting to give me some discomfort so I found an oral surgeon that would see me. At the consultation, I was shocked that the OS had to make sure I understood that I could be getting numbness. Possibly permanent. The x-ray showed there was a nerve is on the tooth. I expected pain and long healing time since I'm 30 years old, but didn't expected or knew the risk of getting nerve damage. OS didn't tell me any estimate days of possible numbness nor did I think to ask. If I don't take it out, it could cause serious infections.
I have the surgery scheduled for next month, and I am filled with dread and regret.
