4 of my wisdom tooth came out out already. 3 of them takes their own sweet time.. where once in a while I would feel the pain until head ache then its gone. 

But the one at the lower left jaw was extracted in 2003.  Crazy painful until I got migraine and fever (probably due to the infection).  The tooth was growing at 90 degree as it was blocked by the jaw bone from above.  Had it removed via surgery at the Ipoh government dentist.  RM55 or something like that.  But the process is cumbersome. First I had to go to a local government dental clinic. Then get referral for x ray..  go to another building. I had to press the x-ray tube to my cheek so hard on my own. Then take the x ray film to the surgeon in the Hospital.

From the x-ray can see the tooth was growing awkwardly that it was depressing the nerve in the lower jaw.  Due to severity of my condition, the surgeon scheduled the surgery the very next day. During surgery, after extracting the tooth, the surgeons called in the students to look at my cut open gum. From what I heard, they could see the nerve that has depressed marked on it, almost like a hole but no cuts or puncture yet.  The surgeons even took pictures of it.  I tried to asked for a copy, but was politely denied.  He said I was lucky that the nerve wasn't punctured yet. If so, I would not be able to feel anything anymore on my lower jaw.  Then the gum was then sewn closed.  After a week went to see the surgeon again for removal of the thread. 

The thing is, after a few years, there is another tooth coming out at the same place again, but very small and causing food to get stuck.  I thought once the wisdom tooth is extracted, that's it.  How come I still got tooth there?  Luckily it is not causing any pain. So i just let it be.

saw your blog.... from the pix of your tooth, yours is not a 'true' wisdom tooth surgery....

i got my extracted.both upper and lower right side..i think no pain for the upper jaw..but my lower jaw non stop bleeding.. i did it 11 am today...almost 9 hours already...
