I've had xrays done a few months ago. Dentist says my top wisdom tooth is rotted ( i already knew that ) and should MOST LIKELY be causing me problems fairly soon (but hasn't). Out of the four, he says 2 of them need to be removed if not all, but 2 of them for sure. I am now experiencing some pain on the lower, right side, far in the back. My gums looks pretty swollen & it hurts to swallow. I can see that 75% of the tooth has broken through the gum ( it has done this a long while back ) however, the back part of the tooth is still underneath everything. I'm really hoping I can just wait this out. Pain will go away, the tooth with bust through, ( or not ) and I can skip a visit to the dentist. IFFF not, I will have to make that dreadful appointment. I have insurance through the state. Badgercare...I was told by this dentist I went to, my insurance will cover a numbing agent (injection) but everything else will have to be dished out from my pocket...being put to sleep, gas etc. I could have sworn wisdom teeth removal was a " put to sleep " procedure & why wouldn't it be covered under my insurance?! I don't have that kind of money to fork up & I REFUSE to still be awake, only numbed for this to happen. I'd rather honestly have open heart surgery
