Last Friday, I awoke with the most horrific pain in my mouth. I did not have any Tylenol or pain medicine and ended up packing my mouth with ice. I stayed awake with intense pain until dawn broke. I went into work and had them schedule me an immediate appointment. When I went in, the dentist was shocked. She said (through broken English), that I had a severe infection and that my gums were so inflamed that she could not even see my wisdom tooth. She cleaned the area and shot me up with antibiotics. This was all due a piece of food being caught under my gum. Gross.
Today, I went in to get two wisdom teeth removed, to avoid future mishaps. I was shown the x-ray with a monitor right at my seat and a video of the procedure. Next, I was numbed, had a mask placed over me with a hole for my mouth (creepy), and the teeth were pulled. It was painless and cheap.
