They're supposed to be the worst aren't they?

I had a back tooth out last year. It could have saved cos it was 80%

I think the dentist wanted to root canal it. But I think it chipped in the first place because of the pressure the wisdom tooth was pressing down on it. Plus the tooth on the other side was hurting as well. Turned out to be the 'right' choice I think. Barring the missing tooth, the neither the wisdom tooth or the one on the other side hurt anymore

The nerve pain for the next 2 weeks though, was pretty unbearable. Learnt my lesson about not going to a chemist, but I was swallowing about 15-20 384mg of ibuprofens a day for about 2 weeks, and some days was only drinking water

My body must have loved that
