Coronectomy time. I had one of my wisdoms done but it had already damaged the root of the other tooth due to NHS budget cuts.

My expirence of the coronectomy was pretty good. Half an hour OP where they remove the crown of the wisdom tooth and then stitch the root into the gum. Stitches start falling out a day or two later and it heals really quickly. I had paracetamol but probably didn't need it.

Extraction would have meant a scan to check where the nerves were and was more expensive. Plus it's done under a local and I was just having the one out.

Hope your extraction goes well. I need to have one later to remove the tooth with the damaged root but it's a wait till it goes bad thing. Glad they got to yours in time.
