All four grew in without issue, never any pain and only one was actually impacted. I've had them out for a good 5-6 years now and on Sunday I noticed my jaw was a little sore. Woke up on Monday thinking that I was just massively hungover from all the drinking I did on Sunday. 9am rolls around and it's literally the most blinding pain I've ever had, I couldn't even concentrate at work. Called a dentist and went down, the gum around the impacted wisdom tooth was infected, so they snipped some gum back and cleaned it out. I woke up today and half of my face is swollen. I figure the infection spread and I should just get the whole thing removed. I imagine I'll get the others taken out, but they've grown in fine so I really don't see a reason why. |
Yeah, my bottom 2 are impacted - they do not cause me much pain, as all 4 of them have been exposed for a good 5 years, but the risk of infection/crowding/cavities on the nearby molars is good enough reason for me to drop $600 on it. Plus I get next week off to chase Vicky dragons. Yussss.
