StarCat said:I'm lucky, this is the ONLY one that I have. I have had X-Rays done, a few times and this is the only one to ever show up. It showed up under my gums, about 7 years ago and is just now coming in. I hate to have it removed because I hate doctors, dentists, pain, and all that kinda stuff lol. I am going to have to though because it hurts really bad. Should I wait til it comes in further though, or let them cut it out, I would think letting it come in more would be easier and less painful, but I'm not sure
If your in pain right now take a regular asprin and put it inside your mouth between your gum and where your tooth is growing in and let it melt....taste is nasty, but it usually works better than orajel(or the like)....
Had 2 of mine growing in side-ways....Dentist pulled all 4 at the same time....drove to Southern CA the next afternoon

It's not supposed to hurt at all. Mine never did. Believe me, I worked for a dentist and have seen some jacked up teeth caused by letting a small fixable problem progress to far. If it hurts, it needs to be removed. Sunflower is right, the pain will only get worse. Wisdom teeth never stop "growing". It will always give you problems.StarCat said:
When I was a teenager, no wisdom teeth showed in my X-rays. By the time I was 21 three of them had grown in. Just because they don't show up in an X-ray doesn't mean they won't ever grow in.
ever 
Suck it up, lightweight. I had mine out when I was pregnant with my daughter, and nothing but topical anasthetic because I was afraid the novocaine would give her dain bramage. Little did I know....but at least I have a clean conscience that it wasn't me that turned her stupid.StarCat said:

Get put to sleep. 
I don't mean to come across as a big baby, but getting my 4 wisdom teeth pulled was nothing compared to getting 1 single molar removed. They accidentally fractured my jaw when they pulled the molar, which sounds painful but it wasn’t the pain that bothered me, it was the sensitivity to cold and the pressure under my eye a few days later that irked me.

If that's the case don't open your eyes either. I can't imagine it's a pretty picture to see someone above you going at your mouth with all their might and sweat percolating on their face.StarCat said:I think I need earmuffs or something too because if I were to hear my jaw breaking, I would dieI like the idea of "almost asleep"

Oh yea, I pulled all 4 of mine with a rusty pair of pliars in a dark cave by the light of a small candle.vraiblonde said:Suck it up, lightweight.
