I'm sure you're all sick of hearing about me and the wisdom tooth surgery saga....but it's actually happening! Soon, as in Tuesday morning! I met the first surgeon I was going to interview on Thursday afternoon and decided to go ahead and have her do the surgery. She is a bit lacking in the people skills department but she's a surgeon - they tend to be that way. She was able to turn what I thought was a major surgery into a more run of the mill, I do this every day, type thing.
Given that I've been in daily pain from the wisdom teeth since Friday and have needed to take pain medication each day - Tuesday can't come soon enough!

Why do you need surgery?
Can't you just have the teeth pulled out as normal?

@Mike197602 My surgery is costing $1,160, after my dental insurance is covering a part of it.
I've been told it's not going to be so bad. 2-4 days of feeling bad and my face being swollen. I've already made plans for next weekend.

@Lolaze I need some dental work and it will cost £16k so I feel for you.
Getting teeth fixed is painful and very expensive

I think they still use a chisel on wisdom teeth! Thankfully, I'll be knocked out so I don't care what they use on me!

@IvySaysHi I will be having dissolvable stitches so hopefully that will help a bit.
