“Your wisdom teeth are in trouble…”
The dentist pointed to the dental X-rays on the computer and told me.
I looked at the black and white film and saw that the thick white wisdom teeth were leaning against the molars next to them. There were some dark shadows where the molars were pushed against.
“Your wisdom tooth caused the cavities in your molars. It needs to be removed, otherwise it cannot be cured.”
The two teeth in front of me looked like they were playing a mime martial arts movie. The wisdom teeth seemed to be hiding in the gums. The powerful man kicked him. The older middle-aged molar next to him was completely black and blue. , wailing in pain. It seems that this big guy is not very easy to deal with.
“This wisdom tooth is just connected to the sinus. If you are not careful, it may fall in, so I suggest you go to a large hospital to have it extracted. If it falls in, the hospital can better deal with it.”
What rice! Did I hear correctly! Is it so scary?!
“You have to have your wisdom teeth removed at this age…” the dentist said to me meaningfully.
I smiled bitterly and shouted in my heart, I am absolutely unwilling!
The dentist introduced me to a doctor from the oral and facial surgery department of the hospital. I sat up from the treatment chair in shock, took an X-ray on the computer with my mobile phone, and immediately registered for a consultation the next day.
The patients waiting outside the dental surgery clinic of the hospital are mostly middle-aged men with dark skin, wearing masks that fit their faces in various irregular shapes, and their eyes are full of helplessness.
I suddenly felt that my situation should be a small case. When I entered the clinic, the doctor looked at my full-mouth X-ray.
“Your wisdom teeth are a little troublesome…”
This sentence again made my scalp tingle and make me shudder.
“In addition to the possibility of falling into the sinus, this wisdom tooth has very little exposure to the gums. The space to extract the tooth is very limited. It may be necessary to cut the surrounding meat and cut the tooth into small pieces…”
Oh my God! After hearing this, fear crawled into my head like ants, and I could no longer imagine or think about it.
“Unless the molar next to it is extracted together, it will be easier…”
I seemed to have caught the kickboard, so I quickly took out my phone and looked for X-rays from the dental office.
“The molar next to it is decayed, so the dentist said that the wisdom tooth needs to be extracted. So it shouldn’t matter if the molar is extracted, right?!”
The doctor looked at the cellphone photos.
“Oh~ Your X-ray is closer and much clearer! It’s obvious that the molars are decayed. If you don’t want to keep these molars, it will be easier to extract them both at the same time, and the risks are relatively high. Low…then schedule the outpatient surgery in November!”
How scary is it to have a tooth pulled?!
Just listening to it like this made me feel quite scary.
I’ve heard people say before that “wisdom teeth stay in place and stay there until they become troublesome.”
This time it really came true.
I checked online and found that the older I get, the longer the surgery and the longer the post-operative recovery period. Looks like I might have to shut up for a day or two?!
As the appointment date approaches, facing the tooth extraction surgery, I hope everything goes well!
