I wish I had a scan of the exrays.
my bottom ones were impacting with my back molars. The crowns of my wisdome teeth were pushing all the roots forward on my bottom jaw. I actually waited TOO long to get them cut out as I was experience alot of pressure in my jaw.
Funny thing is I'm not in all that much pain but I do feel a huge amount of pressure release in my jaw for the first time in a while. I just wish the swelling would go down.
My top ones had to go because my jaw would not allow a toothbrush back there. I got a cavity that covered about half the tooth.
Either way I get 72 hours of "sick in quaters"
