I had the first of 8-9 teeth pulled back in early August. It was a quick procedure, but the healing and getting back to being comfortable chewing on that side took about two weeks. I’ve had a couple of appointments set up since then to pull a tooth here or there, but due to some medical emergencies, my teeth went on the back burner.
I have a procedure scheduled in December to remove the remaining problematic teeth under sedation at the hospital - but I have been doing some thinking.
Would it be less traumatic to my mouth (and potentially even a shortened healing period) if I just continued on getting a tooth extracted every couple of weeks VS getting it all done at once under the anesthesia?
I’m still keeping the appointment, as one of the teeth that needs removed is a hard one to get to and I’d rather not be awake for it (not to mention the fact that the hospital surgical suites are booked up months in advance) but I also know that taking care of one extraction site is likely easier than taking care of several at once.
Thoughts?
