I went to the dentist about a month ago for a routine check up. It went great, no cavities! But I had had a wisdom tooth coming in for about a month at that point. I informed my dentist of this and she took some x-rays and confirmed that that was the case. There was good news though! Naive me, thought that it would be great news like not needing surgery... But she informed me that I only had wisdom teeth coming in in my top row of teeth. These wisdom teeth, apparently, are way less painful and cause way less swelling then the bottom two teeth. (Which was somewhat of a relief.) I had had a friend just recently go for an emergency surgery and I was definitely terrified of what my future would hold.

| Not my actual teeth, but those big bad boys on the top are basically what I have. YAY! |
My dentist set an appointment with the specialist on December 16th and I advised my work that I would have to leave early that day for my consultation. It's been about a month since my appointment has been made and I'm getting splitting headaches ad aches in my jaw. I could wait but apparently if they come in they'll move all my other teeth around. I have nice teeth! They do not need to be moved around in exchange for any wisdom!
Any suggestions?
As we age and develop we should pay more attention on our teeth and how to properly care for it. Routine check-ups to make sure they’re the best they can be.
