About 6 months ago I had the worst toothache of my life! X rays showed that a lower wisdom tooth had grown in sideways, pushed against the adjoining molar and basically made it go rotten. I had to have both teeth out. The pain was unreal, visually you couldn't see any obvious sign of decay or problems but my gum was in agony, I guess the infection was inside the tooth. I couldn't sleep or eat, genuinely wanted to rip my own face off. Anyway once removed and recovered all was fine.
I'm now getting a the start of similar pain on the other side where there is another wisdom tooth but not pressing against the molar like the other one was. I can't work out if I could really be this unlucky or if I'm just hyper aware of any pain because of what happened before.
Has anyone else had wisdom teeth that have spontaneously started causing problems? Bearing in mind the x ray from 6 months ago didn't show any decay on that side.
Obviously I will go to the dentist if it gets worse but it's very hard to get an appointment here!
