Hi all,
I posted once again a month ago as I was very scared just attending my checkup appointment. I went again last week. I had an x-ray and my dentist said that my right lower wisdom tooth has a cavity and the roots are a bit inflamed so it's better to remove it. I will need a cleaning and a filling on an upper right tooth, so I will have everything the same day (next Friday) so I don't have to visit the dentist again any time soon.
I am not scared about the cleaning or filling ( had a root canal twice, didn't feel any pain, only uneasiness) but I am scared to death about removing my wisdom tooth. I read that removing bottom wisdom teeth is more difficult than removing upper ones.
My dentist showed me the x-ray and said it's low risk, the roots are far away from the nerve and that it will take him under 5 minutes to take it out (as the tooth is already erupted so no need to cut the gum).
I am very very scared. I can't sleep very well, I don't want to leave home, I only go to work.
I thought of taking natural remedies to calm my nerves (as I cannot afford sedation) but don't know what to take as I cannot find any over the counter medicine that can reduce anxiety fast.
Any advice or support will be nice.
Many thanks
