I don't know if it was the meds or what, but my teeth started breaking off in chips and now they all have to be pulled, well not all, but 12 of them. Then the Dental surgeon will replace them with a full upper denture.  I already have a partial there and the full denture will probably choke me.
Please help me get there Friday and tell me I'll live, before I run away to somewhere, where they can't find me.  I really really hate this.
Has anyone here been through this?
Thanks in advance, |
I had 5 teeth pulled, prior to getting implants (best money I ever spent). The oral surgeon did the extractions first, and a few weeks later he did the implants. On both occasions, I was given IV Versed, which I highly recommend. They say I was conscious and cooperative the entire time...all I remember is counting backward, and then waking up 3 hours later. I can honestly say that it was a breeze - and I'm very dental phobic. I didn't feel a thing.
Versed is what they normally give to sedate patients for colonoscopy and other "uncomfortable" procedures.
