Goldilocks, I am a retired oral and maxillofacial surgeon. I know everyone means well, but any specific answer assumes knowledge of your specific medical and dental status, which nobody here could know. So here�s what I think. You have a lot of very good questions to ask. Your best bet is to arrange to have a consult with the oral surgeon before you have the procedure done. That way he can answer all your questions before the surgery. That will make you a lot more vomfortable. But don�t forget that even with all questions answered, it is still totally normal to be apprehensive. Also, write all your questions down so as not to forget anything. One last thing – if the surgeon refuses the request for such a pre-op consult, then he�s not the right surgeon for you. They applies as well if you feel he is annoyed by the questions, or rushes you through them. You deserve the respect of a surgeon making the effort pre-op to ease your fears and prepare you better for the surgery.
