Hi! I'm new - bear with me!
I hadn't been to a dentist since I was 17 yrs old. I'm currently 28. The last experience was with a dentist who basically called me a "bad patient," wrote in the notes that I was "difficult," all because I cried when he put his KNEE in my chest when he was filling a back molar. Geesh.
Anyway! All of my wisdom teeth have grown in, and they grew in fine. Well, at least I thought so. I started getting pain on my right side, then all of a sudden back in January, a piece of my wisdom tooth broke off in my mouth. I almost passed out, I was so afraid.
I made an appointment and got myself to a dentist. Finally. I walked out once last year when they called my name... hahaha... So I did finally go, and I had no cavities in any of my "real" teeth, but all of my wisdom teeth were beginning to decay, especially the broken one.
So, I had an appointment with an oral surgeon. I canceled. I rescheduled! But then I canceled again... now my one broken wisdom tooth seems to be breaking a bit more... one quarter of it is gone, and another quarter is a bit loose. Oh, dear... I think I need to go to the oral surgeon.
They're all grown in fine, my dentist told me it should be a simple extraction, but here's the thing: I have somewhat high blood pressure that is not controlled at the moment. It's usually around 145/95, sometimes 135/85 - and at the very highest it was 170/110!!!
I've been trying to get it down with diet/exercise, and it's mostly been working. But, I'm still nervous that I will have a stroke or something when they use novacaine/sedate me to take out the wisdom teeth!!
How do I get these teeth taken out, especially the broken one, when I'm both terrified of dentists and having things in my mouth, AND have high blood pressure???
