Terrified, next week is my long awaited surgery. I'm having the IV to have a tooth broken right to gumline extracted and it's nearby wisdom tooth. Never had an extraction in my entire life and have avoided it at all costs much to the detriment of my dental health as I chose root canal and the tooth ended up breaking (now to the gumline) so never again will I have root canal.
I'm scared as the dentist will have to cut the gum to remove the tooth as there's no tooth to grab.
Has anyone had this before? I'm scared of the swelling and pain afterward. I'm scared that because the tooth is so rotted and keeps getting infected that it won't be a success and might crumble to bits when he extracts it.
Please help, terrified!!
