Guys, just been to the dentist and I need my top left wisdom tooth removing because of a cavity, should have gone years ago to get it filled but thats done now.
All my other teeth are in tip top condition smile

Never had a tooth taken out before and dont know if I am worrying over a simple job.

I know it will be numb, not worried about that part I've had loads of local jabs before,

Please tell me I'm being gay and theres nothing to worry about

smile

thanks for that wendysmile
I have been bricking it today, I think the 2 week wait is making things worse as its giving me time to think about it.
I think my worrying is making things worse than it is, my dentist showed me the xray and she said my tooth is fully exposed and is streight up, not growing at a funny angle or under my other teeth, so it will be a simple job.
Never had a tooth out so I am unsure of what to expect, but you and others are helping me 'man up' smile

Thanks for the positive comments helped me stop worrying!
Was a big tooth, she was going red in the face pulling it out smile

But my fear of dentists has now gone and I am so happy its done, I donty have to worry about it anymore!

The most painful part was paying! smile
