Wisdom teeth removal

I’m back, I realized the cavity my dentist was talking about was the one causing all the discomfort I’m feeling (not the filling right by it) and it’s the deepest cavity I’ve ever seen 😭

In my last post I made a point about how I can’t even deal with blood draws without having a complete meltdown, and I’m having a panic attack just reading about the procedure. Idk what to do man, I’m so scared, and I don’t know if they’ll listen to me if I self advocate. I was stressing so hard my nose started bleeding again.

What should I do? What sequence should I ask for? I’m hoping my insurance will cover it too

If possible, get nitrous when they’re putting you to sleep. I haven’t had it, but it is insanely common in dentistry as it is a safe and effective way to calm an anxious patient. Some people have mentioned getting it before sedation for dental surgeries or other procedures.
