@loribmt hi Lori thanks for remembering....I was just explaining to my daughter that they give sedation for anxiety at least 750$ which would bring the extraction to over a thousand which I don't have..I would have uf i didn't share out 2 thousand over Xmas in gifts to kids and grandkids but I was also telling her I spent 10 minutes " gushing " about anxiety to this guy and when I was finished my rant he said could you just go downstairs and get cleaning done I felt like saying I'd rather jump out that window instead but I just said " I can't " and then went into a litany of excuses all lies of course....I am sure he thinks I am a basket case....but Lori I have decided to get my cleaning done with an Hygenist I went to before she was a lovely girl but I am afraid he will find out..🙈 you would think I was a serial killer how I go on....I have found the people on here really lovely Lori yourself especially i feel I can say what I honestly feel without embarrassment....needless to say Lori if I survive and don't kill the Dentist and all in my path I will fill you in as soon as I can regain my composure...I think I was too friendly with him he probably thinks at this stage I am a simpleton....🫣🙏🙏

@lane73 Thought I’d better check in with you to see if you survived your dental ordeal or if I need to send bale money. 😂.
Joking aside, how was the extraction? Are you doing ok?

@lane73 I’m laughing out loud reading your post. Gurl, if you don’t have enough money for sedation, you sure don’t have enough for bale money! 😂😂😂
You have every right to go see the hygienist you’re comfortable with. Part of a routine cleaning will be a gum tissue/bone support check. She’ll use a little metered probe to place between your gum tissue and each tooth. It will measure the amount of support you have around your teeth. Healthy tissue will have a depth of 1 to 2 mm.
The dentist that is doing the extraction had suggested frequent cleanings. Your hygienist will be able to see fairly clearly the health of your tissue and bone. The dentist in that office (affiliated with her) will confirm her findings. So just relax and have the cleaning done where you’re comfortable.
And good luck with the extraction tomorrow. I’m sure you’ll survive and please, let’s hope the doctor does too. Cuz bale money isn’t cheep! 😃
