Dental sedation is relaxing I have an appointment for an apicoectomy next Wednesday. Since I already had two failed root canals on the tooth, I have become anxious. I accepted the dentist’s offer of sedation, but I am afraid of that too. What side effects can I expect with dental sedation? – Thank you. Minou

How long can I delay wisdom teeth removal? I am 26 years old and still have my wisdom teeth. The lower back and upper teeth began hurting two months ago, and the gums behind them are swollen. I have travel plans for the next two months and would like to know if I can continue
