So, I noticed a while ago that my lower wisdom teeth (which are both slanted) are changing in colour, so I went to the dentist and was told that they had cavities, thus extraction was recommended, one at a time. The first surgery took almost two hours (with the local anasthetics wearing off in the later part and I was in great pain), but even after that, the teeth did not budge, so we took panoramic pictures, and the dentist decided that he didn't cut deep enough (the bottom part of the teeth was still stuck/impacted against the adjacent teeth).
The second time, he cuts the top part all the way and tried pulling again, but once more it didn't budge, and after an hour I was again in pain so he stopped. He suggests I wait a month or two to see if the remaining root would push out by itself, so now I wait, but sometimes I get headaches (which may or may not be related to the teeth issue)
I'm really worried that we're missing something, something that's causing my teeth to be harder to pull out and that forcibly pulling it out may cause some irrepairable damage (nerve, bone, etc). I'm getting a second opinion soon, but in the meantime, I constantly fret because most of my friends, even the ones with impacted wisdom tooth, said it was not supposed to take hours to pull it out
