In a few short days I will be going in for major dental work -
-5 teeth extracted, including my top front four teeth. One bottom tooth next to a permanent retainer
-Full mouth scaling and root planing
-Top flipper to be used until TBD, no plans for implants as of now.
-All of this will be done at 1x under IV moderate conscious sedation
I'm literally terrified, I can't stop thinking about this. I have 3 small kids (two are twins), and I would rather push out another child than go through this upcoming appointment.
Any words of advise.....
1. I really hope I feel nothing/remember nothing from the procedure.
2. I hope the flipper fits and looks beautiful as my front teeth have been a huge issues since I was a child. The flipper will be put in immediately. I hope I can get use to it and I don't have pain from it being in. I will see my dentist the day or 2 after the procedure for an adjustment.
3. Recovery. What does that look like. Day of really scares me. This work is happening Wednesday and I hope I can go back to work feeling ok by Monday.
Thank you!
