    I've been Money Tipped!
    I'm booked in to have one of my uppers out next monday and I am soooo scared!!

    Will it be easy? as the tooth is not fully grown thru the gum yet:eek:

    Dreading it, especially now I have read about the swollen face... I have an important meeting 2 days after :cool:
  • If its any help my fella had 3 of his wisdom teeth taken out at hospital was sedated but not asleep and was fine, he didn't have bruises or noting thats just total bull poo!

    I've wanted my wisdom teeth out for ages but not had the balls im in suffering all the time with them now and its my own doing. I will make a trip to my dentist soon because if i trusted a bulgarian dentist that didnt speak english to perform a 30 min scale and polish im sure i can let them do a few fillings.

    Since the scale and polish in May I have no scale at all on my teeth :)

    This is coming from someone that has to be dragged to the dentist kicking and screaming because im terrified! If you want i'll come with you and have something done and we can be scaredy cats together :)

    Upper wisdom teeth are usually much easier to remove than lower ones, some of them just pop out when extracted. Bruising and swelling is much more associated with the removal of impacted lower wisdom teeth where there is bone removal required.
