Hi..this is long sorry...
working on getting my periodontal disease in control, after some extractions including 3 wisdom & 2 molars on the top next to the wisdoms, im currently getting ready for a deep cleaning & scaling my whole mouth in one shot, due to my severe PTSD I can only do this procedure while sedated, after an evaluation the anesthesiologist told me that I have short airways ?? Ive never been told this by any of my medical doctors nor the dental surgeon that extracted my teeth or his anesthesiologist. I dont snore, I dont have sleep apnea, no problem breathing, im very active so im not sure what she saw but I trust that she noticed something . Could this be due to my recent extractions? I read that removing wisdom teeth may cause sinus issues.
I am now im terrified to be sedated, she said that she will go light on the sedation but I will be comfortable and asleep, if I stop breathing she will stop the procedure to wake me or intibate me. wtffff
Has anyone heard of short airways?
