First of all, I went in to get a regular check up and cleaning from my dentist. I've had no pain or aggrevation of any of my wisdom teeth (they are still fully impacted and were only irritated when I got numbing shots for two cavities), but he told me I needed to have them extracted because I actually have a cyst growing around one of them. Have any of you ever had this? I'm a little apprehensive because I don't know how serious it is and how quickly I need to get them out. I'm trying to wait until my ortho gives me the go-ahead for the extractions he wants out, which will probably be in December, granted I can get into the oral surgeon by then. I can't seem to get any REAL info on cysts.. and I know their kind of uncommon. Anybody experience this?
From what my ortho told me in the initial consultation, he thinks I'll also need four premolars removed in addition to a baby tooth I still have. So altogether, it will be nine extractions. Needless to say, I'm a little nervous.. and wondering if I'll look like some kind of toothless redneck when I walk out of the surgery, hehe! Anyhow, I was wondering if any of you had that many extractions at once, or if they split them up into different times. My goal is to get them out before the holidays, so I can hopefully get my braces put on sometime in December (YAY).
Sorry for being long-winded.. I never thought my teeth would be so freakin' complicated!
That's not even including wisdom teeth. All together by the end of this I'll have had 14 teeth pulled!
