Question

ano po ba ang dapat gawin kapag nagka-lock jaw kailangan po ba ng surgery kasi na-disalign na yung lower jaw ko

My wisdom tooth on the right side is causing extreme pain, and my dentist recommended extraction. Are there any other treatment options besides surgery? I'm really worried about going under the knife is there a way to manage this without removing the tooth?

Question

What tests do I need to get done before having my teeth pulled for implant surgery? I'm a bit nervous about the process and want to make sure everything's covered before we start. Are there specific blood tests or scans required to check if I'm a good candidate for implants?
