I had two removed first, that were side by side. Several months later after healing, the last one on the bottom. I was sad over it, but I know now that my mouth is in good shape. Gums better, no infections. I am also having silver and old composit fillings removed, when they are cracked or show signs of cavity under the filling. The old composits let in decay. I also had four crowns put in. I am determined to keep my remaining teeth healthy. I won't let things go again. My son is helping me with payments, and the dentist did grant me some mercy. She knows how many medical problems I have, and gave breaks on the cost. I wish you all the best as you go forward. I didn't have any trouble at all with healing!!!!! ginnie
