Wisdom teeth

Here is my new story. On Christmas Eve I was trying to eat Christmas dinner and the right side of my mouth was killing me. I couldn't eat and that was a tragedy. So of course being around Christmas I couldnt get into the dentist. So the day after Christmas I made an appointment and got in immediately. After xrays and an examination they determined that I had an infection in my mouth around where my wisdom teeth had come through and the only way to get rid of it was to have them extracted. I was told to call an Oral Surgeon and make an appointment. I havent had wisdom teeth pulled for over 20 years and it was just the top two and at that time my dentist did it. Now I have to go to an Oral Surgeon for the extraction and they asked if I wanted to be sedated. Well duh. lol. So Tuesday I have a pre-op visit with the Oral Surgeon for cost and procedure processes the whole ball of wax. Im a little nervous about it because I am quite a bit older than i was when I had my top wisdom teeth taken out. Plus after all this is done and over with I need to go back to my regular dentist for a very indepth cleaning of my teeth. See I only go when there is a problem not regularly like I should. They say as you get older you get wiser. Only time will tell
