>>15007436If you had seen the x-rays, you'd understand it was too late. They were already digging into my molars' roots. I've endured more than a fair share of pain which ultimately made me who I am, but my wisdom teeth were lost because I endured their pain until it was too late. Perhaps an earlier intervention could have saved them, but that chance is long gone.
Thinking about it, I can't renember what happened first: My wisdom teeth getting pulled, or the YEAR I spent with both jaw joints sprained so much, I could barely eat or talk, then treated by an osteopath loosening the sprain and a downright faulty splint which I was smart enough to toss before it could make things worse. The sprain might've lead to the loss of my wisdom teeth, or reversely, the removal to the sprain; I'll have to figure that out. My memory is very holey, I'm slightly amnesiac. Years later, however, my current splint actually does its job in protecting my jaw from getting worse. All I can do now is become a better parent than my boomer parents have been. Not mindlessly beating your children in the face might be a starting point for healthy development.
You glorify pain, anon, but be careful what you wish for.

I do not understand why I'm relatively sane or good-hearted. Thanks for letting me vent.
