Wisdom teeth?
#1
![Default](https://passionford.com/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
End of last week I noticed that when I chew, in the back of mouth, top left, I get an almost "sharp" feeling, a tad uncomfortable, but no real bother....
Gradually it's got a bit more prominant, so I stuck my fingers in my mouth
Right behind my last back tooth used to be a lump of gum. Now it has something sharp poking out of it, about a mm long! This isn't the cause of the discomfort/aggitation, but right behind that is a second, smaller lump, but it still has skin over it, like something beneath the skin/gum.
Feels a bit like a tooth! Teeny little sharp inscisor. Fuck all on the other side tho, just lump gum!
Is this a wisdom tooth breaking through? Is it gonna carry on being a pain in the, err, mouth
or will it ease up and become a fully blown tooth?
WTF?

sounds like its a wisdom tooth!!
some people get quite bad wisdom teeth, but i have had two of mine come through with no issues at all!
It can take weeks, sometimes months for a wisdom tooth to some through properly!

definitely sounds like wisdom teeth, my bottom left one has given me aggro for months, bottom right came through really easily but every 2-3mths im in agony with it for a couple of days
theres a gap between the gum and the tooth which keeps getting bits of food stuck in it![Wall](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/wall.gif)

all 4 of mine came through about 5 years ago, I've had problems since, even more so due to the NHS dentist refusing to touch them ![Wall](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/wall.gif)
I've lost my "bite" so my teeth dont meet anymore by about 5mm, which means sandwich's are a mare as I end up dragging everything out from between the bread as I cant bite it

Mine have been coming through for a couple of years!. A bit of the tooth has come through at one side, sometimes the lumps swell up for a couple of days and they hurt

My bottom 2 teeth have been a nightmare for me. Have been pushing through for years!
SARAH. I have the same problem
People wonder why I have a box of coctailsticks in my car, its so i can get the food out of the gum. If i dont then my gum gets infected then that follows on to tooth ache. Fucking nightmare!![Wall](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/wall.gif)
MATTJ. Also have the same problem with my "bite". Never had this problem until my wisdom teeth came through!

Mine are coming through ok, although they come through more some months, but only once have I been in pain with them, and it lasted for about a month maybe. It was quite bad for about a week, couldn't open my month properly to eat, just bareable.
After that, everything's been fine. Maybe wait and see if it gets any better before getting thm out, cos eveybody I've spoke to that's had them out has said it's the worst pain they've ever felt!!
How old are you? I'm 28, I've had mine coming through for about 5 years now i reckon, and as I say, only one month of pain.

Punkie - I was thinking more along the lines of having an NHS dentist as a regualr dentist. I know some do, but I've no idea how to go about getting it, as I haven't been to the dentist is fuck knows how long - probably 10yrs - as it costs too fucking much!

I was lucky as my nearest one said yes no problems but lots of people have to travel miles as lots of them wont take any on these days. even so because its NHS work and they make fuck all from it they are a bit reluctant to do any work other than check ups and minor drillin n fillin

Matt - I'd be happy with just general check ups and minor work. I've been very lucky with my teeth and at 26 never had a root canal, never had any drilling, never had a cap or crown, never had a tooth removed etc.... So if I can get my national insurance contributions to pay for dental check ups I'd be well happy! I've been to hospital twice in 10yrs so it's about time I got something for my NI, lol...

Im in the same boat as you Sarah!
The thought of having them taken out is teriffying!

What doesnt help is when you type in "wisdom teeth" into you tube.

I'm glad I had all of mine taken out when I was younger reading how much trouble they are causing everyone. Got knocked out in hospital, got them ripped out and looked like a hamster and lived on soup for a week, but well worth it by the sounds of it :lol

best of luck, my wisdom teeth are coming through (have been for over a year now) and it started with the top left, the top right isnt coming at all but the bottom left and right are only half way through. the pain can be immensly sore but its not all of the time thankfully

Go to the hospital with it. I did and got put to sleep while they took it out. If you go to the dentist you will be wide awake in the chair with the dentists knee in your chest. Didn't fancy that at all. My mother got hers taken out when she was on her 20's and ended up with 2 black eyes from the dentist trying to get leverage. I have the same jawline as her so that's why I went to the hospital.

but that does look proplerly fucked up
btw, in case you were wondering matt, my mrs has a wisdom tooth waiting to come out and is on the nhs waiting list
she's been on it for nearly 3 years
![](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/shocked.gif)
at first they said they couldn't xray her as she was pregnant
then they had to wait a year after junior was born
then they xray'd her to find teh problem
then she was put onto the waiting list
then they set her appointment date back (origianly it was 11 months after her xray)
now she's pregnant again so they can't xray her
![Wall](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/wall.gif)
so as long as you don't fall pregnant, you are looking at around 11 months after you start to complain about it
and yes, it's fairly horrific as someone posted up that they had brusing on their chest and ribcage after the dentist had to put their knees on them to pull the tooth out
makes you feel good don't it

Just get it done in the hospital, don't let a dentist touch them ![Wink](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
They knock you out completely and cut them out, not the way a dentist does it

I had 4 of my wisdom teeth out about 5 years ago now - 2 at a time. Two of them where growing outwards into my cheek & rubbing on the inside of my mouth which in turn used to get slightly infected and gave me a gob full of ulcers....not pleasant at all - especially as this lasted for months until I went to the dentist & he told me straight away what was causing it!!
Think they cost me around Ł80 in all to have removed - probably the best money I have ever spent on my anatomy!!! LOL!
Stop being a wuss & go get them taken care of - you really wont regret it - as people have said it will only get worse otherwise!
