One really awful side effect of Parathyroidism is that my teeth are cracking thanks to the whole no calcium in my bones thing.
For awhile now I've needed the last 3 of my wisdom teeth removed, but now that my mouth is in constant agony I figured theres no time like the present.
Tomorrow is a visit to the oral surgeon for a looksie and then soon surgery.
I hate, loathe, fear, despise, dentists in any shape and form. Wish me luck!

I'm right there with you on the strong dislike for dentists. I haven't seen one in well over 10 years, and not only do I need jaw surgery that I've been avoiding my entire life, but I've now got about 20 cavities and require at least 4 root canals, thanks to the neglect that comes along with the ignoring of the jaw surgery.
I hope that your wisdom teeth removal goes smoothly. Maybe they'll give you really good drugs to cover up how awful it could be, right? YAY pain killers!!
i LOVE the dentist! i'm weird! i don't know about yours... but mine gave me some "laughing gas" to put me out and i didn't even know what was happening! i woke up and POOF! my wisdom teeth were out. i couldn't hear/feel drilling, etc. hopefully your experience is like mine! the only bad part was that my parents ordered pizza that night from our fav place... and i could only eat jello and applesauce!!!
GOOD LUCK!!!
