Ethical dentistry ping.
Wisdoms are a bitch...may be long term “ghost pain”.
After they removed it and took a small piece of my jaw with it, I ended up with an infection. I had to be on antibiotics for a couple of weeks. My tongue still hurts so I told my regular dr about it. He prescribed something In case I had a yeast infection, 5 x a day for two weeks. That did not help.
Now my tongue looks “mapped”. Makes me not want to go back to a dentist ever again.
“I’m about to get a root canal in a few hours. My first one.”
I meant to tell you ahead of time that they don’t hurt. The problem I had was the sumbitch drilled 6 foot wide holes which have caused 3 teeth to collapse and break off. Besides, the endodontist is a prick with zero chair side manner.
Yes, the aftermath can be nasty...especially when there is “bone work” on the jaw. Hope you don’t get a dry socket.
