    It hurts... and it will hurt like heck for a few days. And you will be on antibiotics.

    My Elderly mom had to do that because a full plate was less trouble than a partial bridge. But you will be better off when its over. And it will be soon enough.

    I have no idea how much it would cost in south Africa... being I live in the USA... but someone else might.

    Pain is relative... some people are more sensitive than others... But my mother said the first day or two were the worst but it got better a little more every day after that...

    I honestly have no way to find out what it would cost for you. You should find several dentists local top you and call them up and let them know how many teeth will be pulled because they usually charge by the tooth.

    They would not likely have a web site much less have their prices on it, and prices in Johannesburg will not be the same as small towns some distance away.

    Yes they can... and far worse. The bacteria can get into the blood and possibly cause death... the decay can spread into the jawbone itself and detroy that. So yes it can get a lot worse and you should get them taken care of. The worse they get the harder to reat they will be.

    I have a terrible fear of the dentist as well. These days many can put you to sleep (sedation dentistry) for the procedure and you won't feel anything until you wake up.

    Yes, it will hurt, but they can give you medicine to take away the pain.

    Yes, it can. Smoothy already told you that.

    They really aren't as bad as you imagine them to be. No it isn't pleasant but its really not bad either. I go 4 times a year to take care of mine so they don't get bad.

    You actually made this a lot worse than it needed to be by waiting this long.

    Look at it this way... the sooner you do it... the sooner you can get over it. Sitting around thinking and worrying about it isn't helping anything... and in fact makes you even more nervous.

    THink of it like having to drink some bad tasteing medicine... instead of looking at all all day thinking about how bad its going ot taste... and you still have to take it. But if you just took it right away you would be remembering.. yes that tasted bad... but its over.

    I had bad teeth and it effected my health a lot. I got them pulled at 36 and I feel healthier now than in my teens and 20's. I hate pain but it really didn't bother me. It was more of a dull numbness for a few days.

    We don't know how much it will cost. You or your husband will have to ask. This is a global website. We don't live in Africa.
