Wisdom Teeth and Your Health.

Hey, I am 39 and had my wisdom teeth out on Saturday.

I was told two years ago, that if I had my wisdom teeth out, it would be "too dangerous". I was "too old and too fat". I didn't get them done because of the humiliation, and I felt probably, on a daily basis, weird. I also felt dizzy and had ear and balance problems. I took tons of benedryl and other meds to feel clear. I felt overall yuck.

Well, on Monday, I started to get a severe pain in my neck and throat. I was so dizzy and miserable. I felt the pain in my jaw. I actually had been having migraines and feeling like I was dying. So, this swollen neck was scary. i decided to go to the dentist. He looked in my mouth and said my wisdom teeth were rotten and infected. I had to immediately take penicillin in megadoses. I had my teeth out on Saturday morning. It took fifteen scary minutes. I went home and bled like all day. Drooling blood.

But something amazing happened, the pain in my neck went away in two hours. One day later, I have no pain at all and even though my wounds are raw, i have not felt so alert and alive in years. It was these fucking teeth all along. if you feel weird, PLEASE check your teeth. Doctors will not help you. Meanwhile, you could suffer from diabetes and heart trouble from bad teeth.

You're on your own in America with dental and anything else for that matter. Help yourself. i should not have let that asshole shame me into not getting help else where. You don't need an oral surgeon. it only takes a few minutes and cost only 450 dollars. i have spent more on shitty meds that didn't help.
