    yeah, i got that a lot with my bottom wisdom teeth. the flaps of skin used to get infected, and it hurt like hell.

    try bonjela, paracetamol, or gargling with TCP.

    if nothing works, go see your dentist, cause you might need antibiotics or something.

    i just try to avoid that at all costs cause of my irrational fear of dentists. gotta go see mine this afternoon :nervous:

    worst dentist visit ever :(

    i have to have them out. definitely 3 of them, maybe the fourth, depending what happens to it in the meantime.

    but yeah, they've barely broken through the gum, so hospital, general anaesthetic, the works.

    i am NOT a happy puppy.

    they only take them out if they really, really have to.

    sadly mine are beyond help. because only a corner has broken through properly, and they've been that way for a couple of years, they're impossible to brush, and they're all totally decayed. yum. and i was pleading with the dentist, saying they don't hurt, and he just laughed a bit and said 'they will'. :(:(:(

    he said if they'd come through more, they'd be able to have them out at the dentists, space gas and local anaesthetic styleee, which would be one thing.

    but because of where they are, they'll have to put me to sleep, and cut through the gum and bone to get to them. how fucking horrid. and three at once? how will i eat?

    gah.

    well, if i want them done for free, i'll have to go to the dental hospital, and apparently they have a 18 month - 2 year waiting list. i'll be skipped up ahead if they cause any horrific pain in the meantime.

    but while they're symptom free i can look forward to 2 years of having them. joy.
