I have been putting it off FOREVER but my dentist REALLY wants me to have them out. =(
I am so anxious & upset about this for so many reasons. For 1 thing, they are not infected or impacted, and never have caused me pain, so it just seems unnecessary.
Second of all, since they are not infected or impacted, my insurance will only pay for 90% of it, which sounds like a lot, but the oral surgeon quoted me over $3,000.00 for everything (including anesthesia.)
Also, the oral surgeon I know (casual family friend, more like an associate of my step~father who is a pharmacist) is by my parents in Montville and I live in North Brunswick....
AND with me getting married in August I don't want to take any risk of being swollen or puffy or bruised... even if I schedule it next week, I have heard horror stories about people who have to keep going back weeks after because of things like "dry sockets"...
Finally & most importantly ~ I AM TERRIFIED!!!! I am such a baby with all things dentistry. I have to put in my own bite wings for XRays because I panic and gag if anyone goes in my mouth like that.....
AHHHH!!!!! What to do......
