Just went to dentist and I have a cavity in my wisdom tooth and I've never had a cavity before and *deep breatgs* I am thinking I'm going to die. Need to calm down.

You'll be fine. You may have to have a little novacaine shot (which will pinch a little), then you may have some drilling (which doesn't hurt, but sounds bad). Your face may be numb for awhile. The procedure takes a few minutes, a couple hours to get feeling back.

I'm not having anything done to it. I left now as we were done with the cleaning. He didn't say it needs anything done to it. Should I be worried? Do you think he's too optimistic? I'm worried even more now if you think it needs something done.

Oh sorry. Didn't mean to make you more worried. If he says it doesn't need treatment right now, it should be fine. Has he talked about whether to keep or extract the wisdom tooth itself. Some people have them taken out (if they come in at strange angles or crowd other teeth).

Yes, he might refer me in 6 months to get them all removed. But I'm really scared and I wanted to keep them. I am being totally irrational though. And I get guess I just have to manage.

BTW, I'm no dentist, but I've had a TON of work done--mostly because I didn't go in my 20s out of anxiety. So I'm hear to tell you, it's WAY better in the long run to get things taken care of. There are meds available for the anxiety, and dentists can help....

OK, there's no way I won't get it done. I'm just scared.

I think I'm just emotional because it was so unexpected and I wish I'd been referred sooner but I can't really blame anybody. Quite a few people said they might need to be removed.

Thank you for saying what you did though. It's no big deal and you're right to say I should just do it.
