My face felt like it was going to fall off

I'm not posting a poo this time honest so you can look at the pics now.

I kept waking at 3am feeling like I was gonna die. And I was on holidays in nowra so I had to put up with it for a week before I could come home to see the dentist but they let me keep this. They wouldn't even give me any drugs to take home. What a rip off.

do they generally prescribe drugs after surgery?

That would have taken a long time to develop to that size.   Maybe see a dentist more regularly and you will not lose the tooth.

This was the top left wisdom tooth and I had no idea it was like this because I could neither see nor feel it. Don't know how long it took to get like this, and since I have not had any other problems I haven't had a need to go to a dentist.

Yesterday he has discovered I have got other problems caused by dry mouth. So while the rest of my teeth are currently okay, if we had not discovered it in time he said all my other teeth will decay and crumble. So now I have to use this dry mouth gel and spray **bleep** and get flouride treatment and all this biz. Gonna cost an **bleep**load.

Since it was only a wisdom tooth it's no huge loss. But I'm glad it led to the dry mouth problem being discovered. I mean I knew I had issues with my mouth being dry but I didn't know it was damaging my teeth.

I thought only old ppl got dry mouth?

I dunno.  A bit of panadeine forte for my troubles would have been nice.
