Re: Apicoectomy--how bad?
I've had 2 apicos on front teeth and will probably be having two more in the next month or so. The procedure itself wasn't as bad to me as an extraction. I kept ice on it for the first few hours afterwards, which kept the swelling down and didn't have any pain at all; just sore. I was given a prescription for pain but only took Advil every six hours for the first day, just in case.
I wasn't sedated for the apicos, just the injections to numb the tooth. Didn't take long at all.
Hope this helps. Even though, I've had it done before, I'm still dreading the next one.
