Oral Surgery

Tweet

I found out earlier this week that later this summer or early fall I will be having some pretty major oral surgery. I have severely impacted wisdom teeth that need to come out. One is so bad that not only is it pressing on the nerves of other teeth – causing pain – but its roots are growing into the bottom of my sinus cavity on one side. There is no way around it, that tooth needs to come out and they might as well all come out if one is. I'm more than a tad bit nervous about it. My dentist is going to explain to the oral surgeon just how bad my anxiety is so he understands. I wish I could avoid this but the pain and pressure being put on the nerves is getting worse all the time.
