Will go wrong... So i have had a pretty stressful year, some of you guys have been there for me through it all. Last week my uncle passed away, a few months ago my old cars transmission died, new car payment now and a few other things.
Well now my one of my wisdom teeth decide it wants to break through the skin and say "Hello world". It is causing pains to open and close my mouth. Keeping my mouth shut and not moving isn't to bad and talking doesn't hurt to much.
But when i try to eat is the worst, I could barely open my mouth wide enough to put a thin slice of bread and a hotdog in my mouth. I hard to push hard to open it.
I tried last night putting the numbing gel on it and could only get a small portion due to big fingers. So it helped a little bit and i drooled some.
Now my wife is pushing the issue of me going to a dentist to see what needs to happen (most likely removal). However, i have no dental insurance, just regular medical insurance. The dental was expensive. If i decided to get dental, then there is a 12 month waiting period on "major services". As i look through the different services i see under "basic service" is simple extraction and oral surgery but oral surgery says it has the 12 month waiting period as well. I asked our HR and said it could be either and didnt really answer my question of whether it would be cheaper to get it done with/without insurance.
Has anyone gotten their wisdom teeth removed? Under or awake? What did it feel like? Price? and Pain?
I've seen some videos and its.... interesting. I know it would be a different POV when its you and no the POV of the dentist.
