I just had my yearly checkup at the dentist and they said that one of my teeth near the back of my mouth where I've had a lot of fillings needs another filling but they can't get to it because my wisdom tooth grew in at an angle and is pressing up against the tooth so they're going to have to remove my wisdom tooth. Also, they said they'd have to cut in to my gum to access the tooth too.

I haven't had any extractions yet as an adult, but when I was a young child I had several and was always frightened, crying, sick, in pain and bleeding for hours. Now I'm terrified to go back in and get this done. And now I very anxious, can't sleep properly, and am in a complete panic even though I haven't even scheduled the appointment yet.
