I've written about this here already before, but basically - I have a small mouth, so I had a couple of teeth that grew behind everything else. I had one of them removed a few years ago, while the other one eventually fell out and now all that's left of it is the root that needs to be removed. I've been putting it off for ages (even though I know I shouldn't have, haha), but eventually it started hurting, so I figured I had to get it done. I'm scheduled for an appointment tomorrow.
I'm terrified, lol. I'm not really scared of most procedures anymore, but I honestly would rather have another root canal instead of this (root canals are nbd, at least they don't hurt...) I have a bad history with extractions, though - the anesthetic doesn't seem to work too well on me in those cases and I end up feeling most if not all of it.
At the same time, I'm in pain anyway, so I'm kinda stuck between a rock and a hard place here.
