Dentists tomorrow for 4 root extractions 45 minute appointment

So basically long term medication destroyed up right and left side teeth to the point where there is only small bits of teeth at the gumline. I am getting a partial denture but need the roots removed.

I have been given a 45 minute appointment but surely it would take much longer than that.

I had all my top teeth removed and it was just over half an hour, they all came out easily

The dentist has the X-rays so I am hoping this means she thinks it won’t be difficult extractions.

I have such dental phobia.

How did it go?

That’s a normal time slot. I had four removed and had a 90 min time slot but mine was under full sedation so included time fore blood pressure checks, getting an IV in, sorting the meds etc plus some recovery time at the end to wake up properly.

The actual dental work part was about 20 mins.
