How do you noe if its wisdom tooth or toothache?
-
as above..
-
you don't .....
and trust me ... it doesn't make much of a difference ... -
go see a dentist..
mine was a pressure which was causing my teeth to move into the crooked configuration it is in now.. not much pain as it wasn't rotting or anything...
it had to be removed as it was impacted or growing out sideways.. if i left it be, it would have caused massive movement of the rest of the teeth so the dentist removed it -
i guess i m the few lucky ones with all 4 wisdom teeth still intact

Wisdom teeth are third molars that usually appear between the ages of 17 and 24 (although they may appear when older, younger, or may not appear at all). They are commonly extracted when they affect other teeth—this impaction is colloquially known as "coming in sideways."
Wisdom teeth are an example of a vestigial structure. Some argue that recent changes to softer diets which cause less wear on the teeth may be causing the third molars to be less useful, and, in fact, problematic in many humans.[citation needed] Alternatively, it is possible that wisdom teeth were useful when it was common for humans to lose several teeth to decay by the age when they appear.[citation needed] Most people have four wisdom teeth, but it is possible to have more or fewer. Absence of one or more wisdom teeth is an example of hypodontia. Any extra teeth are referred to as supernumerary teeth.
If you have a toothache at your wisdom tooth, it shows a sign that your tooth is decaying. -

O Wise Dustbin!Originally posted by poon cho tang:i guess i m the few lucky ones with all 4 wisdom teeth still intact 
so shinta what was the cause of the toothache? -
removed all 4 of mine.
Was seeing the dentist regards to some soreness of one of my tooth.
Dentist found out that I have a hole in the tooth. And recommend I remove my wisdoms as well, since they are showing.
So I did.
Now....another tooth has another air bubble in it. Will have to find time to drill it and replace the airbubble with some fillings.
Think one of my left tooth is rotting though. My sister tells me so. -

i had something like that when i was a kid.
the dental nurse then taught me that i had to brush my gums. It'll bleed initially, but it's supposed to be "dirty blood", so just let it flow.
hannor, just use a baby toothbrush for starters.

they say brush in circular manner right?Originally posted by MooKu:oh!

Not really leh.Originally posted by shinta:

I was even able to makan on chicken wings after the ops.
Its was the earlier drilling and filling of that airbubble tooth that was painful. They had to dig out my nerves cos my nerves was dying and reacting badly to the air bubble pressures.
That one hor....after 2 anaesthesia needle, still painning. I was Argh Argh Arghing away while they were still digging for the nerves.....You can see the chief Dentist sweating profusely...and I was writhing at the chair, so they need 2 nurses to hold my hand down. I was really trying not to writhe.
