Ok so I went to my dentist this past friday and he attempted to remove the tooth...yeah I said attempted...evidently not only is it sideways there is a BONE on top of the root!!!!!!!!!!!! So now i'm gonna have to go to an oral surgeon...this blowshttp://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...milies/mad.gif

the same thing happened to me when i had my wisdoms removed!!

yep me too..they had to knock me out!http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...es/biggrin.gifhttp://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...illy_nilly.gif

I was dealing with the pain so I could just let my dentist pull it out...I do not want to go to the oral surgeon http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/frown.gif

yup they put me out and did the sugery.. i came out looking like a chipmonk ( or so says my granddad)

They're only taking out the one wisdom tooth...so I guess that will make me half a chipmunk??? http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...es/biggrin.gif

aww bless. dont worry, they dose you up with this really cool stuff, and when you wake you cant stop smiling!! Unfortunately i had a really dishy dentist at the time...im sure i looked soo appealing beaming at him like some spaced out freak!!shame!!!

I have no idea what mines gonna look like but my luck he will be hawt and i'm really outspoken so happy gas is gonna probably cause me to do something embarrasing to everyone involved http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...es/biggrin.gif

Ask if you can bring an ipod or something and put headphones on. They shouldn't get in the way.

EDIT: Nevermind. Should've read the whole thread.

Your definitely NOT a freak of nature. I have the joy of all 4 of mine being grown in crooked! The only nice thing is that they aren't bothering me yet.

Has this happened to anyone else???
 

Ok so I don't know exactly where to put this thread...this is mainly a dental question...when it comes to pain I deal with it and today I couldn't so you know this has to be bad....my mother-in-law is a dental asst so I called her and ended up and the dentist in so much pain I was bawling...She took an x-ray and evidently my wisdom tooth is absessed and unlike the rest of my straight teeth it has grown in completly sideways so its hurting the rest of my mouth and causing me to have an earache..the dentist numbed it and gave me a prescription for an antibiotic and pain meds(the strogest they can give someone and it doesn't even work)http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/frown.gif...the only way to get it out is in pieces..great huh?? I know alot of ppl get there wisdom teeth out but I want to know if anyone has had a sideways one...or am I just a freak of nature http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/smile.gif

My bottom ones were titled forward and pushing on the rest of my teeth to the point I couldn't eat so they had to take them out in pieces. My top ones they were able to pull with no problems.

My "I" teeth were laying up in my gums sideways so they had to pull my baby teeth, put pins in my "I" teeth (the "fangs"), and then pull them down gradually.

So, it happens.

I had a wisdom grow in sideways. Navy dentists crushed it and picked the pieces out. Cracked my jaw and it tilted one tooth sideways, which is still sideways. I blame the Navy dental program for the condition of a few of my back teeth now. I need some major shit done including a few pulled out and either implants or a bridge put in. I fawkin HATE dentists....

Okay, I just cringed like 3 times reading this thread. *cringes again*

I was lucky, mine all grew in correctly BUT one of them rotted and broke off into pieces. I thought the dentist was gonna crack my jaw when he tried to pull that one out. OUCH!!!

That sucks, Ashley...hope you get some relief soon.

I'm gonna move this to Health and Fitness. http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...es/biggrin.gif

Thanks Tasha!! The doc gave me vicodin so i'm floating!! See mine actually broke too, and got absessed which is now why i'm in pain http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/frown.gif I blame my dad he has crappy teeth..I finally get out of braces and my wisdom teeth decide to make me feel like I still have them http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/frown.gif The dentist gave me the option to either let him numb it and pull it or go to a oral surgeon and be asleep when they do it...I haven't figured out what I want to do yet...

Ooh, tough choice. If you can deal w/ hearing/seeing everything go on then I'd go for numbing and pulling. Oral surgery is a lot more difficult to heal from...but being knocked out and not knowing what the hell is going on could be a plus. http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...ilies/wink.gif

I can deal with being awake and another plus is my ma-in-law will be there working on my teeth with him...but then again I don't want to hear them if they make a mistake http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/smile.gif

OOOOOHHH, you poor soul! I am alergic to dentists ( honest) ...and yes i had to have a crooked wisdom tooth removed, but they had to knock me out to do it! (Might have been because i was hyperventilating at the time)
But you have my sincere sympathy.
There is nothing worse than tooth and ear ache!!! x
