Scared about nerve damage
I have my extraction tomorrow.
Upper and lower molar both on the left side of the cheek.
But i am scared if cutting the bone and taking out this teeth will cause any nerve damage. I am planning to get married next year, don't want any risk.
Attaching the opg, doctor also didn't mention about cbct. Please guide me

Dear Practo user ,
Based on the X-ray you provided, there is no cause for concern. You can proceed with the extraction; however, mild pain , discomfort and numbness in jaw are expected for a few days post-procedure, which can be managed effectively.
