Hello everyone.
Does anyone have dental phobia? I have had dreadful pain, to the point of screaming and climbing the walls for six months. I went to the dentist and he said it was my upper left wisdom tooth and needed removing. I made the appointment to have it removed and left. When i returned a week later, i sat in the chair and immediatly started with the palps and sweaty palms, hence i ran away as fast as i could! :ohmy:
My dentist refered me to the hospital, there i can have local and iv sedation. When the doctor took x-rays to my dismay i discovered that although my wisdom tooth was decayed it was the tooth next to it that was the culprit of all the pain. There was a large hole in it, reaching right down to my nerve. So now i discover i have to have them both removed. :weep:
I had My lower left wisdom tooth out last year, with local and iv sedation and it wasn't so bad. I hardly remember anything of it, but i did cry all the way through it...this i don't know why? It's like i am trying to reason with myself because i have had it done before and know what to expect, it's like since finding out i have to have two removed it's heightened my anxiety.
I heard it's easier to extract uppers than lowers, is this true? Do you think it will take any extra time to have the two out? Why am i such an idiot about this? :blush:
I know it needs to be done, no two ways about it, and to be honest i can't wait to be pain free and free from mouth infections...but i am just so frightened.
thanks in advance
