Oral Surgery
Most people don’t like the idea of having surgery, and that’s understandable. But when it comes to oral surgery, there are often a lot of misconceptions about what the experience is actually like. Here are some of the most common fears people have about oral surgery, and why there’s no need to worry.
There is a fear that there is going to be a lot of pain. This is one of the most common fears people have about oral surgery, but it’s also one of the biggest misconceptions. With modern anesthesia and pain management techniques, you can expect to feel very little pain during and after your procedure. In fact, many patients report feeling only mild discomfort, if any at all. And if you do experience any pain afterward, it can easily be managed with over-the-counter medication.
Another common fear is that the recovery process will be long and difficult. Depending on the type of procedure you have, you may only need to take a few days off from work or school to recover. And even then, you’ll likely only feel some minor discomfort and swelling. Most people are back to their normal routine within a week or so.
There is also a fear of scarring. While it’s true that some procedures do require incisions, they are usually very small and well hidden. In most cases, you’ll be able to barely see the scar once it heals.
There is fear that the surgery will be very expensive. It’s important to remember that the cost of oral surgery can vary widely depending on the procedure you need and your insurance coverage. In many cases, insurance will cover a significant portion of the cost. And even if you don’t have insurance, there are often financing options available to make the procedure more affordable.
