Thats ok, i don't mind

Sounds like it could be dead , but when you get a quote from the dentist just get him to tap it and see if its dead or alive .
But either way , dead or not, you shouldn't feel it, the area should be numb, the only difference is if its crumbly it may break easier , which can take a little longer is all.

Good thing is tho, that its a wisdom tooth, and as its already through im guessing it isn't facing the wrong way or anything, being a wisdom tooth , and therefore a back tooth they are easier to get out .
The reason being that they have 4 roots, so are sturdier and breaking is less common, the trickier ones are the anterior teeth and the first couple that only have 1 or 2 roots, argh , have had some fun times assisting with THOSE extractions.
But make sure ,(cos it is a wisdom tooth after all) that you have plans to take it easy for the week after the extraction
In fact , tell your DF i insist he must wait on you hand and foot ..

yeah i remember you mentioning the gagging with Xrays (which are horrible little things i must admit)
Im trying to remember something which might help you , a dentist i used to work for had a method for people that had a strong gagging reflex with the xrays, cos he always managed to get it done , no matter how much they would usually gag ....

Just tell the dentist your not good having things in your mouth and if he feels the procedure may take a while ask if you can have breaks every so often

and yes, they should be able to smooth the sides, that shouldn't be too much of a hassle for them

no prob , hope it helped ease your mind a bit
