So.. I have not written or been on here in a long time and feel like it helped a lot in the past and don't know why not!
Here is my full background.
However!! Yesterday I did a big thing and had my first extraction under general anaesthetic (which filled me with more fear than the dental work). However I was pleasantly surprised and all was fine when I came round. This was a lower molar tooth and I'm now petrified of getting dry socket!!? I'm following the steps but I'm too scared/worried when eating and swallowing? As I feel that the swallowing kind of feels like a sucking sensation??
Could do with some reassurance on this ? The nurse said that I wouldn't know if I dislodged the clot at first and between day 2-4 is when it would hurt if I got it. I'm back to work on Monday and I'm so worried!!!
I am proud that I have had this done though and will know what to expect when the others need to come out.
Thanksxx
First steps taken! many more to go...
Basically I'm only 20, but hadn't been to see a dentist since about the age of 3 (I used to not open my mouth etc)... so havent had any previous bad experiences, as I havent had any work done, but still very terrified! and embarrased to go as I have two teeth at the front which are in front of...
