Hi,
Extremely terrified as everyone else here.
38 year old female, severe PTSD from childhood trauma, axienty and recently acquired a sinus infection from my wisdom tooth. Need all 4 out and root canal. Was advised will be in dental chair for 2 hours and have IV. Not scared of needles or IV however my worry is my present health ...I have Ulcer that's acting up as well as been very sick the past year with various ailments and just injured my foot recently. This was just unlucky recently as experienced intense stress for the past 5 years dealing with Mentally ill family member ...calls at 3am etc fear of family member physically attacking us or commuting suicide themselves... Ulcer, axienty, PTSD and not foot injury and dental infection. I am 38. I realize I need these teeth out but what are my chances of physically surviving this procedure feeling SO sick for the past year? My main fear is that i don't want to die in the dental chair at age 38.
Am I extremely high risk?
Just spoken to the dental assistant and told her all that she basically said she feels for me and wants me to do a procedure as she said my wisdom teeth are not difficult nor easy but this will be done in Dental office not hospital so I am assuming she is quite confident I will be ok but I am not so sure ! Please help ... I have nobody to confide in about this as for the reason of mentally ill individual i cannot tell family that i am getting this done as it will cause that individual stress and a bigger Ulcer for me. Please help!
