Hello again!
Surprisingly enough, i'm not as gripped with anxiety over discussing having surgery done as I once was last year when I first joined. That is largely all thanks to this site! Though unfortunately I don't really know how to go about planning another procedure. As I've said in the past, dental procedures aren't insured anymore. And when I found out I needed all of my WTeeth out. I was told by a dentist after getting a root canal and some fillings. I didn't go out of my way to plan this. And despite my saying i'm not as nervous about discussing it. I'm still terrified of going through with it without the aide of therapy.
Anyway, onto the actual topic. So, I've made a terrible mistake, I stumbled across worst case WTeeth surgery scenarios on the internet. Which as you might be able to tell, didn't help my anxiety very much. But one of the ones I've found was of someone who unfortunately passed after the procedure. This especially terrified me, as while i'm handicapped and don't live alone. My caregiver does work for some hours during the day. And if the thought of passing away under sedation didn't scare me enough, the thought of it happening at home without anyone at all knowing definitely does. I'm sure I won't be alone when the time finally comes and I make it out of surgery.
But is this much cause for concern? I know death during or post surgery is very rare even for someone who might have some health conditions...right? Anyway. Just one of the many Wisdom Tooth anxieties I wanted to get off my chest.
Thank you as always for your patience with me .
