Hello all,
I am 38 years old and In about a month or so will have to have 3 wisdom teeth removed. Top 2 are fully erupted and the bottom right is. Partial bony impction. I was originally scheduled for tomorrow but chickened out because I have been having panic attacks from fear! My fears are this... not waking up from the general anesthesia and more importantly NERVE DAMAGE! I have no choice but to h e them taken out because they are infected. I now have to wait a month because they want me to have another consult with the surgeon because apparently I have too many questions...at least that is what I was told. I want to go to this dr because he is also an anesthesiologist! And he is one of the best in the city. I just don't know how I can do this knowing I may never be able to feel to kiss my husband again or taste food or talk right or feel the wind on my face. I have never been so panicked about anything in my whole life! It is all I think about I cannot function!! I know I don't have a choice they are infected and I hope I am okay until May 17 when I have the next consult. I feel so helpless and overwhelmed! Can anyone give me some advice or have any experiences with having lower. Wisdom teeth out at an older age? They said my tooth was close to the nerve..not sure how close and that there is a 5% chance out of 100 for nerve damage. I am so scared!!!!
