Teething

[mrissa]

Oh, the indignity. My body has decided to make up for being an early bloomer in every other respect one can imagine by waiting until now to produce my top left wisdom tooth. I had been telling people I only had the bottom two, like my mom. Apparently I have three wisdom teeth. How bizarre. I'm nearly 27. I should not be teething.

Mine made vague attempts to come through when I was in my late teens, which was uncomfortable enough that at 19 I consented to having them all removed before they actually erupted, along with an unerupted pre-molar that was making a noticeable bulge in the roof of my mouth. That involved general anaesthesia and two nights in hospital, and left me with slight but permanent nerve damage on the lower left jaw. I think it was the best part of a month before I could fully open my mouth. I hope yours don't cause problems, or at least that they can be dealt with without trauma.
