Last wisdom tooth out?
It was 11 years ago now that I had three of my wisdom teeth out, with the last one potentially requiring surgery to remove. I was sent down to a surgeon in Melbourne for a consult, who basically concluded that because it was completely unerrupted and a top tooth, the resulting cavity would be dangerously close to my sinus and thus until it starts giving me trouble we should leave it alone.
Last week, during a routine checkup/cleaning, my dentist noted that it was potentially interacting with the molar next to it, and it better come out. Welp, back to Melbourne I guess? No, she’s pretty sure it would come out in the chair, but it may not even need to come out. I mentally missed that last part, and just prepared for it.
The appointment was today, numbed up and a quick incision for a sneak-and-peek and she was able to fill the molar without removing it… but we’ll have to have another look in 6 months, I might not be out of the woods yet.
