Hi All
Finally plucked up the courage to move to a new practice which has been recommended on this site - first appt in a few weeks. My old dentist has been telling me for ages to have the upper left wisdom tooth out - but when I had the upper right one out it was a nightmare and I ended up with dry socket. Add to this a failed anaesthetic during a tooth removal as a child I'm not keen on more extractions.
The big worry I have is the open wound/socket whilst it heals. I'd feel more comfortable and less panicky if the wound/socket was stitched. Can anyone advise if this is something I can reasonably ask for - it'd make me feel a lot more comfortable during the healing period and less panicky?
