Dentist done for now. But I have to find somewhere that will take all of my wisdom teeth out at once, and preferably so full general anaesthetic. They suggested the dental hospital because they'll do it for either free or cheap, but it's a very long waitlist, and I won't get in to see anyone until I'm a full adult with full adult responsibilities. I'd rather do it now when there's people around to help me, and I can just not speak for a week with no issues
They suggested a low cost but private clinic in the east somewhere, but she said she would have to call to see what anaesthetic they can do. Apparently they also only accept referrals for certain procedures
Cost isn't too big of an issue, since it's not on my dime for the next 6 months. Part of the reason I want it sorted ASAP
Iβm not sure if the Melb Uni training school does full anaesthesia, but worth a look. Wherever you go make sure you get more than one ice pack!
Western Special Needs Dentistry might suit you. They're very very good with people with sensory issues around teeth and in general.
It's not a sensory issue, it's just not exciting to have 4 teeth pulled while fully awake
True that.
