I do have an appointment in two weeks for x-rays, the earliest they could get me in. There isn't an oral surgeon anywhere near the town I live in that accepts my insurance, so it's just a general dentist for now.
I understand that removing all four is not usual, but I have been told by several different people that most oral surgeons won't remove all four at the same time, because it would require numbing both sides of the mouth at the same time, and generally they don't like to do that. But I have friends and family members that have had all four removed at once, and they all had varying degrees of pain. I had wanted to know the likelihood of having all of them removed without hospitalization, as that was what I was told would happen if I did have all of them removed at the same time.
Thank you again.View Thread
