I'm trying to decide whether to get my lower and upper wisdom tooth (on left side) removed. I'm 32 and thought I had avoided it but I've been having reccurent infections in the lower one and the upper one is growing out into my cheek. I have severe anxiety particularly around dental treatment (even getting a check up is an ordeal for me) so naturally this isn't the best news! My dentist has suggested IV sedation which I'll definitely go for but I'm still terrified about:
1. The actual op (pain, complications e.g. nerve damage)
2. Recovery (hate blood, pathetically low pain tolerance, dry socket risks)
I've read lots of the forums on here but I still can't get my head around putting myself through it (and also having to pay A LOT of money to do it!).
Any advice or support on risks/post-op recovery would be super helpful (i.e. REASSURANCE SEEKING!).
