The horror of having wisdom teeth removed and why i hate dentists

I had my wisdom teeth removed 5 months ago… three of my holes healed nicely, but 1 still remains. I have a deep pit in the back of my mouth where a wisdom tooth was once rooted. The pain is hard to explain.. It’s not a sharp pain, it’s an ache. Anytime hot or cold liquid get into that hole, the pain is sharp and unbearable.

I’m 26. Until 5 moths ago I hadn’t been to the dentist’s office since age 14. I know what you’re thinking… But I have a very nice smile. My teeth are a little crooked, but clean. Anyway, about 5-6 months ago my wife has this great idea to schedule a dentist’s appointment for me (without my consent). So, I say to myself… why not. I go, and the dentist says I need my wisdom teeth removed. Catch is.. One of them had a small abscess under it. Now, my teeth NEVER hurt before I went to the dentist. NEVER.. Now, my teeth hurt all the time (especially my open hole, that won’t heal).

I’ll continue to brush my teeth everyday and floss every once in a while…. But I will NEVER go to the dentist again.
