Wisdom tooth repeat infections.

[SwanShaped]

I keep getting infections in my lower wisdom tooth gum. But I’m very scared of having it out because I hate the dentist. Anyone else had this, and is it worth going through extraction? What’s the sedative like? I don’t want gruesome horror stories, please.

Gosh SwanShaped, that dentist was unforgivable. Fear is a very real emotion. You are doing brilliantly, inching your way forward.

That’s quite extreme, gerbil.

Thanks mama. One step at a time. I can always chicken out later. And who knows, maybe the hospital will say there’s something that can easily be done to stop the recurrent infections.
