Hey Catholic friends!

I’m going next week to an oral surgeon for a consult to remove my 2 lower wisdom teeth. I’m concerned because I read (I’m sort of a hypocondriac I guess) that in rare cases nerves can be damaged and permanent numbness in the mouth and face can result.

Anyway, pray for me that I don’t walk in fear through this process and that everything might go well.

Thank you. 🙂
 
Praying that the process may go well and that the Lord may take your fears away.

O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fountain of Mercy for us, I trust in You!

Prayers for strength during this process and a good outcome said
Mary.
 
:hug1: Prayers for you.

Maybe you would benefit from discussing your concerns with the doctor; it wouldn’t eliminate the risk involved, but he might be able to give you more information that might help assuage your anxiety.

I also had to have my wisdom teeth removed because they were impacted. I was worried about it because it seemed like the potential for jaw damage would be much greater in removing sideways teeth vs. straight ones, but I healed quickly with no problems. I’m not permanently numb. :o

With any procedures there are always risks, even if very small.

If you “worry” about every risk of every event in a day, you wouldn’t be able to make it out of bed.

Think how you can deal with the fact you wrote: RARE cases.

May God give you wisdom to relax about your needed procedure.
 
Praying for you that the procedure will go well with no complications.

I just had all four of my wisdom teeth out last month, and I am in fine shape now. I am also a worrier, so I pray you can be peace. I prayed for my oral surgeon too, that he would be at his best the day of the procedure, and I pray for your medical team as well.

God bless you.
 
My prayers are with you and your oral surgeon, Itwin. You’ll be fine. 🙂
 
Hail Mary,
Full of grace,
The Lord is with Thee.
Blessed art Thou amoungst women,
And blessed is the fruit of Thy womb,
Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
Pray for us sinners,
Now and at the hour of death,
Amen
 
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession and was left forsaken. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you I come, before you I stand, a sorrowful sinner. Despise not my words, O Mother of the Word, but in your mercy, hear and answer me.
Amen
 
Hail Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou amongst women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death.
Amen

You are being prudent. Impacted wisdom teeth can cause many problems not just nerve damage. Praying for your intention.

Hail Mary, Full of Grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women, and blest is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.

Thanks to everyone who prayed.

The anxiety has gone now. I think I was just shocked that there can be some serious complications to what seems like a fairly routine operation. I’m a grad student, and I’m stressed out with school work this time of year. I think adding a surgery on top of all that caused me to lose it for a moment. :eek:

I’m just waiting to meet with my oral surgeon next week. Hopefully, everything will go ok, and I can go ahead and get this whole thing over with.

Thanks again. 👍

Thanks for updating. Waiting can be a drag, but it’s good you have an appointment. 🙂

Continuing to pray…
