Hi everyone. I'm, perhaps due to some unpleasant experiences when much younger, terrified of pain and dental complications. I've also recently developed a cyst due to an impacted lower wisdom tooth and have read so many, countless really, horror stories regarding complications due to dry socket. Also, I've some TMJ and sinus issues and my grandmother essentially died of trigeminal neuralgia.

What I'm wondering is this - is there any other way to address/monitor the cyst created by my molar other than removal of said molar? I'm so terrified from all the stories that I cannot bring myself to schedule an extraction.
