Oh my aching mouth

So I've generally had no real issues with my mouth over the years, a small cavity as a teen, and sensitive teeth as long as I can recall, but nothing to really cry over.
UNTIL Friday, I thought it was a cavity or worse an absess....boy was I wrong. Turns out, my wisdom tooth is comming in completly wrong, I could have sworn I already got them in about 3 years ago, but I was wrong. The gums swole up so high I couldn't even close my mouth by Saturday morning, and because of the pain I didn't get a wink of sleep. I called several dentists, knowing none would be open but I tried any ways. Brian later called a few of their emergency numbers, and finally got a hold of a dentist, Dr. David B. Sittason (pronounced citizen, weird huh) and he was all set to go a head and come in to see a NEW patient on a SATURDAY!!!!! But by then the pain wasn't too intence because the tooth finally broke through and caused all of the built up fluids to drain-nasty really nasty taste, let me tell you-so I scheduled an apointment for today. I went in and after two extreamly painful x-rays of my left jaw, I ended up getting a full x-ray of my mouth, which was enevitable because it seems I need all four of my wisdom teeth taken out! I also found out that other than some tarter build up I have a very healthy mouth, yay for me....especially since I haven't visited a dentist in about 7 years. I scheduled a consult appointment with Lee A. Kamelchuck at Center of Maxill of facial surgery (or something, I think that's abbreviated) for Thursday and from then I'll get my wisdom teeth removed then when I'm feeling up to more intrusion of the mouth I'll be scheduling 4 appointments to rid myself of my tarter build up, then from then I'll just have to do the routine dental appointments. I'm a bit nurvouse about the sugery part, but I think everything should be ok. Well, that's all for today I suppose I'll keep an update on the events to come.

The surgery isn't that bad I had all four of my wisdom teeth pulled out when I was 17. My bottom wisdom teeth were growing in a direction that it was causing problems for my ears and any more the dentists would rather pull all four wisdom teeth at once. Good Luck! Mandy
