That is the most excruciating (sp) pain I have ever felt......

I didn't have dry socket (my sympathy, I hear that's bad

), but I got about EVERYTHING else you can possibly get from a wisdom tooth.

I had only one - they meant to do two, but the painkiller started wearing off when they were halfway through - NOT a pleasant experience. I sat around in miserable pain for three days. On the fourth day I still didn't feel any better, so I went to the dentist's - wound had gotten infected - and got some antibiotics. Wound healed well, several weeks passed. Then - suddenly - it started hurting again. I went to the dentist's in the morning. They said the wound had festered, so they'd have to cut it open again. Unfortunately, I had a VERY important test at school that day, so I had to come back in the afternoon. I went to school, had the test (four hours

) while I had toothache and fever. Wound got cut open again (ack that hurt), after that I had to go to the dentist's EVERY TWO DAYS for several weeks so they could put some strange thing in the wound and keep replacing it... then, when that was over, they had to put another strange thing in the wound. Luckily this one only had to be replaced once every couple of weeks. Now, today, they took it out and said that that was it... HURRAY! I'M FREE! THE TORTURE IS OVER!

Unfortunately, this leaves three to go.
