Hi Bryanna

Not sure where the proper place to post this is. If this is wrong please forgive me.

My #3 broke off a few months ago and I am now due for extraction and bone grafting. I am horrified. My oral surgeon whom I like very much says he prefers to do a cadaver bone graft and I have met with him 2 times about this. I thought when I walked out of the office last week, I could handle it but there is no way I can do cadaver bone. He is not a fan of using patients bone as there is more healing time because there are now two wounds. But for mental health sake, I have to. He is not aware that I have made my final decision. I just find it totally disgusting even though they say it is nice and safe. I cant do it. I am nervous to call back to telll nurse my decision.

I have allergies and I am reading I shouldnt sneeze or blow nose after this procedure. This makes me nervous. When I met with him, we didnt talk too much about the procedure of using my own bone but he said it would be in lower jaw and healing time alot longer. He said I was a little more squeamish about the cadaver bone from his other patients. Just how odd am I??

What kind and how big is the incision to get my own bone? At least I will have my sanity back. This crown broke off a few months ago and I have crowns on both sides. I am just horrified at not being able to blow my nose. The anniversary of my moms death is just a few days later and I know I will cry and need to blow my nose.

Any words of comfort are much appreciated. I am a nut job over this!

Thank you!
