I generally do not have a fear of the dentist, but last week my dentist scared me when he told me I need to have all four wisdom teeth removed. The two top teeth won't be a problem. But because the two bottom teeth are horizontally impacted and the roots are close to the nerve, he said I could suffer nerve damage. He said the oral surgeon would be able to tell me more after a 3D x-ray.
This terrifies me! I haven't had any problems with either tooth. Should I even get them taken out?
If I choose not to take out the bottom two teeth, can or should I still have the top teeth removed?
What are the odds of nerve damage with horizontally impacted teeth?
Would a coronectomy be preferable?
Please advise! And I promise I'll keep everybody updated.
