I have a wisdom tooth lurking!

[phyncke]

I really thought I did not have any wisdom teeth but I was at the dentist getting my root canal finished (that went fine, thanks) and the dentist says - "Well, that is a surprise, look at that!" as he looks at the xray during the procedure. There on the xray was my impacted wisdom tooth, under the gum line. It is going to wreck my teeth if I don't have it removed. Gah, I say. Gah. Expensive little bugger or big bugger. I wish this had happened when I was younger and my parents would have had to pay for this one. I have to have a bone graft with it which is not covered on my insurance. This is going to cost me some money.

Oh wells. I am on vicodin right now so my 100 things posting is suspended for now. I will get back to that. I have some things to post about but my mind is muddled from the drugs. :P. Nice drugs that make me loopey doopey. Weee.

Anyhoo. That is my tale of woe. Whoa. Or however you spell that.

Look at the cool tag I just made. Love this one! Soon to be offered at a graphics comm near you!

Get it done sooner rather than later - I had to have mine done in hospital and it took 18 months for the appointment (because the NHS was crappier then than it is now) - by that time my teeth had stopped being straight.

Hope you are pain free soon.

It does not hurt but it will move teeth if it grows in. Gah. Silly big tooth.
