Re: Wisdom teeth questions

Well, keep in mind that to become an oral surgeon, one must go through 4
years of dental school, and then at least 3 more years in an oral surgery
residency. Oral surgeons are highly trained and remove horizontal
impactions [that's what you have] every day. It will NOT be any problem to
remove this tooth, and there is practically no likelhood that you would have
a jaw fracture or some other problem. I can understand your apprehension,
and that is to be expected, but rest assured that the procedure will be FAR
easier than you anticipate, and I am sure the oral surgeon will give you a
prescription for pain medication, which you actually may not even need;
sometimes just motrin or some other over the counter medicine will be more
than adequate. Good luck -- you will be amazed how easy the procedure is
once it's over. Ask your surgeon any questions you may have during your
consultation.
