Total dental extraction next Tuesday. Very anxious about it. Had originally wanted gas, but was persuaded not to due to the increased risk of serious problems occurring . Ultra worried over the pain factor. Memories of the last extraction when I got dry rot. Worst pain I've ever experienced. Even worse than the pain from a broken femur that went undetected for 7 weeks.
It needs to be done so I can have a yearly infusion for osteoporosis.
Went better than expected. The only bit of major pain was my fault for not opening my mouth wide enough . Hence the dentist's instrument touched a lower tooth . That area hadn't been numbed. They extracted the top teeth , and will extract the bottom teeth in August. The reason for not taking them all out in one go is because I'm on a blood thinner for atrial fibrillation.
Glad it all went ok.
