No more issues (aside from a hole where my molar used to be )My jaw wasn't big enough for my wisdom teeth so I had to have them removed. Thing is, they couldn't be pulled out as they wouldn't fit, so he got a set of pliers (I'm sure they have a medical name!) and shattered them in my mouth, then pulled out the bits. That was under local anaesthetic. It was almost 20yrs ago, I can still hear the noise they made reverberating around my skull 😬
Apparently I have very long roots on my molars. It took three appointments and a shitload of local anesthetic to pull the monster, he showed it to me afterwards. Basically a hole had formed where the tooth cracked and any slight movement in the vicinity was causing contact with the nerve. I can testify to that because I was drugging myself to the gills with Neurofen Plus and Solpadeine for a week waiting for the first appointment!
