    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

      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.

      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
