Title sums it up, but here are some details:
I'm 25yo, and I have at least two wisdom teeth that need to be extracted. I don't know exactly why, but the idea of extraction scares me.. I have seen the size (length) of the roots that molars have, must have incredible grip..
One dentist previously told me that upper right wisdom tooth absolutely needs to be extracted - the way it erupted is what I call retarded. It's rotated outward, the surface that it used when you chew points to my cheek, not down.. otherwise, it's not painful, doesn't have caries (as far as I know), so it hasn't caused my pain so far - just this strange way of eruption.
The other one is the bottom right wisdom, it has severe caries- I went to dentist about a month ago (after I had had brutal amount of sharp pain there for a good week). I didn't get root canal tr., just usual filling. He told me he cannot guarantee that it's gonna be pain-free, so if I feel pain again, it needs to be extracted, no question.
I originally thought the treatment was successfull as the pain ceased after a few days. But in the last few days, I feel discomfort again, so I often take painkillers to ease it. I can barely chew on the right side now.. I know I cannot go on like this forever..
This bottom one still hasn't erupted fully, just partially- that's why I have fear, how can that be extracted without torturing me??
It's weird, because I've had two root canal treatments so, they were smooth, I only felt slight discomfort, little to no pain, and they say extraction is no worse if the doctor is skilled.
Can anyone comfort me?
I know it gotta happen sooner or later..
