I have a broken to the gumline tooth (it had been filled already before) and it needs to come out. I have to go see an oral surgeon because the root has to be removed. Apparently I have long roots and what he said about the procedure and what I saw on google is terrifying!

It's an upper tooth so thankfully I hope my whole face won't be numb. but I'm so scared anyway. I really want to make myself keep the appointment but every time I think about it I want to break down.


I have some other teeth that need work too :(
 
I have a root canal tooth that fractured at the gum line and the oral surgeon will have to remove the remaining tooth and root. I think he's going to have cut through my gum and then put stitches and I am really scared. I will keep you updated on what happens since mine is 2 days earlier than yours. I am terribly terrified too! I will have it done with local only.

Me too. This dentist doesn't like to use IV sedation I guess. I don't take pills usually so I'll be awake :(
 
For me it's good this way. I would then be scared of something going wrong with the IV sedation, so less worries!
