I think I might be randomly cutting a wisdom tooth in the back of my mouth. Like I needed more dental issues, LOL. I originally thought I just cut the back of my gum with a chip or something, but it's been irritated for quite a few days now (and of course, it's on the opposite side of the painful root canaled tooth, making it hurt to chew on either side), and I looked at it in the mirror today and it looks like somebody took a knife to it. There's a deep slice across the spot where I'd assume said wisdom tooth would be coming in, and it definitely wasn't there before when it first started to hurt (because I looked).
Oddness. I really want to go poke it in the mirror some more and see if there's anything underneath. Back when I got my full mouth x-rays in July during the first appointment at the drill-breaker, I made a point to look at the wisdom teeth (because I was hoping they'd never come in--my mom only got three, so a girl could hope--but they were all there), and they were all crookedy and under my 12 year molars and definitely didn't look close enough to the surface to be breaking through in only 6 months. But idk. I've got to get an appointment to crown this tooth anyway (which has taken on slightly more urgency since I remembered what happened the last time the filling sunk into the hole like this--the tooth cracked; much more worrysome than the pain), I'll have to get it checked out. I've really got to get on that.
I think I need a "teeth" tag. But I don't feel like going back through and finding all my old dentist rants and retagging them. Maybe at some point.
