Mind you, you're probably only having a problem with ONE but because dentist feels they serve no purpose but agony later on in life, "might as well" extract them all. They say the older you get, the worse they hurt/the longer it takes to heal. I'm 28 and all of my wisdom teeth are in and I haven't received any problems yet (God forbid).

(this is going back since I was 5) The first family dentist I went to didn't really like kids, so they were all like, she has a cavity! So they were like, waving the drill in front of my face and stuff. A few years later, we started seeing someone else, and I still have that fear, so now that I have my own insurance...I don't go. My teeth don't hurt or anything, so why go? x3 If I had to get any kind of surgery though, I'd opt for the knocking out instead of novacaine, I HATE novacaine, when I got my first cavity filled at 16 (we told our new dentist what happened to me in the past, and he was like, she has no cavities!) I was chewing at my cheek without realizing it because my face was so numb! Dentists suck, I have a absolute fear of them.

I'm getting holes in my teeth because I am a junk food junkie and I haven't been to the dentist in years (can't afford it) to get the cavities filled so they are eating away at my teeth. :( I hate the dentist, but I need to go so bad.
