Long story short, I have advanced gum disease and dentures is around the door for me.
There are two upper back molars need to be extract, reasons: bone loss and repeating apical periodontal abscess. So 2 will needs to come out at once since it two back molars. I be numb in that quadrant anyways.
I'm fine, no fever, the abscess seem to be localize, pus break and then pus again, it a cycle so I want this teeth out too. 1 molar with apical abscess, and 1 molar with periodontal abscess.
The molars are not impact or anything, so it just about numb me up and pull it out.
I was told local Lidocaine will be use but will be nerve block due to abcess, nerve block would be better in block the extraction pain.
But I want infiltration analgesia. I can try to request that but it up to the surgeon.
I have a fear of my lips will be forever numb from the nerve block.
Please tell me with my condition would infiltration would work? Or nerve block be better choice?
And which is more dangerous of the two, I'm guessing nerve block here.
TIA.!
