Too close to the nerve to remove?
Okay so I’ve had one side upper and bottom wisdom teeth removed. The other two never bothered me in my early 20s so the dentists said it would be too risky to extract and if they don’t bother me - don’t touch em. Now I’m 27 and my upper wisdom tooth erupted and it’s bitting down on the gum on top of my severely impacted and long bottom wisdom tooth.
I’d like to get pregnant relatively recently so I’m trying to be proactive by getting this upper wisdom tooth removed in two days bc I can’t clean it with such severe clouding. But the bottom… idk. The surgeon said he would do it but there would be risks involved. Judging by my xray - is the bottom wisdom tooth too close to my nerve to be removed? I’m looking to get this done all in one shot (and sedated through iv lol). I’m also hoping it can be removed completely bc the risk of infection scares me more than never feeling my chin again lol
Thank you in advance!
Any opinions?
