I have a baby canine that is going to be removed and an adult canine that is going to be exposed. It is being exposed on the the palate.

I now that some of you have had this exsposure done. Please tell me if it how painfull it is. As I have a limited income and i Need to decided rather to be put to sleep or have the local anestisia.

I dont handle dental pain very well and the pain after having my wisdom teeth removed almost drove me insane. Pleas Help

Thanks

Hi Miajessica!

I had 2 impacted cuspids and two baby cuspids still in place! I didn't even know I had two teeth in my palate until my oral surgeon told me!

You'll do fine! Its not as bad as it sounds. Mine were also high up in my palate. I was put to sleep for the surgery but that was because I also had 4 teeth extracted at the time and that's what my oral surgeon suggested!

Other than your mouth being sore and having a little hard time eating right after the surgery it really isn't too bad. I find it more painful the first time my ortho tried to start bring the teeth down. I couldn't eat for a while but most people didn't have as much pain as me!

Your oral surgeon should help you make these decisions and help you feel better about it as well!

Good luck and let us know how it goes!
