THAT SUCKS THO!
Ya, an absest (sp?) tooth can send you into a coma if not removed right away.

It's not the tooth pulling that hurts afterwards, that's just a little discomfort, I mean when the hole doesn't clot up all the way. Air gets to your root and it's like a downed powerline, sparking in the wind. Just electric pains of shock go through your body every 2seconds. Terrible pain.

The dentist assistant told me at first that I had to have a root canal. I almost jumped out of the chair and killed her Thanks goodness I didn't though, because that sounds, unpleasant.

Some people don't need their wisdom teeth out at all in their lifetime. I got mine out because of heavy decay, some get them out because they are pushing on all of your other teeth. My 2 bottom wisdoms are fine (so far) and don't need to be removed.

Peace
