Well, I tend to view any surgery as a major surgery. It's invasive, it can trigger body memories and it puts us totally at the mercy of someone else AND our body (which we usually don't entirely to trust) to heal.
I once had ONE wisdom tooth removed. I also had to have the molar next to it removed because I waited too long to have the wisdom tooth extracted out of worry.
That's right ONE wisdom tooth - plus a second molar.
That "simple" procedure caused me to miss a week of work because I was crippled with worry, pain and a feeling of helplessness.
I understand what you are going through and think it is absolutely alright.
Despite all the progress in my recovery, I still have a problem with people doing stuff to my body and - no - I haven't been to the dentist since.
This will pass and your body will heal.
Take care and know that you are understood.
