Can't wait to have the wisdom teeth taken out. One of the stupid idiots decided to grow dead sideways. Not slightly sideways, almost a straight horizontal angle directly into the next tooth. Usually it's okay, but every now and again evidently I do something it doesn't like and then it really hurts. Today was one of those days
For some reason, whenever I have any tooth pain, my immediate, subconscious, dare I say instinctual response is to grind that tooth. No clue why. It makes the pain much worse, but it helps for about half a second I guess
This happened to my older brother, but not a wisdom tooth. We were told then that sideways teeth were more common than you'd think. Makes you wonder how people coped before proper dentistry. Feel for ya.
Wow! I knew impacted wisdom teeth were common, but had no clue regular teeth were prone to doing summersaults too
You don't need to pay for it, do you? Even with private insurance, I was out of pocket several hundred dollars when I had mine out, and that was a decade ago.
