After years of discomfort, and recently outright pain, I got my lower right wisdom tooth pulled. The oral surgeon explained why I had been hurting so badly. It was pushing against another tooth as well as pressing on my lower jaw nerve. The dentist I had seen two weeks ago said she didn’t see why the tooth was a problem and it was fine and just coming in. I had tried to tell her that it hurt all the way through my jaw and made it difficult to eat. If it was coming in normal, I could have just chewed on stuff to cut the skin and would have ignored it but I could PLAINLY see on the x-rays it was bad. The oral surgeon was really nice, however. He was sweet and explained everything to me and when I needed more numbing stuff, he was fast to give it to me. They gave me a pain script, made sure the gauze was in right and told me to call or come back if anything happened. And he stitched it up nice. I made another appointment for June 17th to get my upper right removed. I also am calling my primary dentist about fixing a small cavity.

My health has been improving drastically, so now all I have to get fixed is my teeth, which aren’t that bad, and my back.
