The tooth on the left side of my jaw is so painful. The gum covers it. But I think I'm going to have to get it removed.
So..I've been doing some research online about it and it says that
"a wisdom tooth that is underneath the gums and embedded in the jawbone will require an incision into the gums and then removal of the portion of bone that lies over the tooth. Oftentimes for a tooth in this situation, the tooth will be extracted in small sections rather than removed in one piece to minimize the amount of bone that needs to be removed to get the tooth out."
That sounds extremely painful. I have no tolerance for pain. I'm screaming in agony when I get paper cuts. THe anesthetic doesn't sound like it's going to do much to help the pain if they're going to cut open my gum and remove my tooth, piece by piece.
Has anyone been through this? What's it like?
