I'm having a lot of trouble with two of my wisdom teeth, so I require advice/opinions here.
In my lower jaw I have two impacted wisdom teeth. One on the left has erupted at a angle to the neighboring teeth, and one I only found out until recently is actually stuck in the bone, and my dentist said it won't grow further.
Both cause enormous glands swelling around them for over a year and are painful(especially the one stuck in the bone) I feel ill all the time.
A while ago I had a X-ray of my teeth and found I had my first impacted wisdom tooth. After a few months it started hurting so I went to my dentist. He said a oral surgeon would have to remove it and he referred me there, and I said I wanted sedation.
The surgeon said they weren't unable to provide sedation, only local anaesthetic which personally didn't appeal to me. He said my other lower wisdom tooth was fine and nothing to worry about...
I went to my dentist again to try get referral for a sedation clinic, and my dentist said its a long waiting list (several months) He then said my other lower wisdom tooth isn't growing and stuck in the bone marrow. I don't understand as they've taken X-Rays of my mouth years before and the surgeon I saw said it was fine.
My dentist then mentioned they may not be able to remove my tooth stuck in the bone, because they could assess it to be too risky.
Now I'm stuck with these terrible teeth disrupting my daily life.
What can I do other than wait? I haven't been happy the way its all been handled.
Can surgeons normally remove teeth stuck in bone marrow? If not is this tooth going to cause me trouble forever?
Thanks.
