Hi,

I have a couple of questions. I assume there is no alternative other than to have those teeth extracted? The periodontist said that this would be part of the treatment and wouldn't continue without extraction. I am sure this is right I just wanted to check.

Also, if I have the teeth extracted they suggested it would be a local anaesthetic. I would have four extracted on one side of the mouth, I would return two weeks later to have the other four removed. I am obviously a little concerned about the extraction procedure while being awake, I was hoping I would be knocked out! Also, I guess I will have difficulty eating for at least a month? Any advice on this side of things would be helpful.

Thanks
