Scary rant:I had my consultation at the Kingston Dentist Ward. I might need to have three operations. The 2nd / main operation is to re-align my teeth so they will be straighter, in-place and to reduce crowding.The first operation is to remove 4 wisdom teeth; from top left and right-corners and 1 from bottom left and right-corners of mouth. They are doing this operation so when they carry out the main / 2nd operation, they will have more space to work with. The third op, is to fix my top-middle crooked teeth but they said I could have invisible braces instead, which would be done privately (not NHS) and would last 12-18 months. If they didn't remove the wisdom teeth, there is a huge chance, that later on the wisdom teeth will start to come through and push my other bottom teeth causing a lot of pain. Since my bottom left and right (1 each) wisdom teeth are beneath the gum and can't be seen, they will have to make an incision (cut) to remove the teeth. There would be stitches and they would disappear within 1-2 weeks.Risks:The wisdom teeth are near my bottom nerves and the teeth, will either be really behind or in-front which is OK, as there is a lot of space. But...the nerve might be next to it. And when they make the cut / incision, it is possible that the nerve will become swollen / stretched and could cause 2 problems.1) Taste buds might be affected (low risk)2) A feeling of pins and needlesThe 'pins & needles' feeling can be temporary lasting up-to 6 months but there is a 1-in-200 chance. The chance of it being permanant is 1-in-400 and it is 'apparently' very easy to live with.3) Along the top of my teeth, there is our synases. It's a gap of air that is associated with sneezing. Since they would be making a cut, there is the chance that when I drink water, it might trickle through, or when I sneeze, I might feel air coming through into my mouth. There is a very small chance of this happening, and if it did, they would block/ fill-in that gap. They suggested I undergo a general anaesthetic which I am all for. There's no way in hell, I want a needle going into my gums, which the doctor said is 'unpleasant' which is code for effin' hurts. After the op, I would feel numbness and after that wears off, I would be given meds to deal with the pain. I'm just very worried and nervous about having this done.
