<<Dead3ye, you had five? I only had three, thanks for saving me $250.00>>

You can have like a million of them and they sometimes grow in weird directions. For example across your gums, really painful. Luckely I only have 1 or 2.

Never realized you could have more than four. I had all of mine pulled last March, figured it was better to have it done while I have insurance.

Yet another insightful opinion passed by the master of passing ;)

A podiatrist will give just as good advice as we will.

Im pretty sure that a dentist would pull it, I had the same symptons i they pulled mine.
And the dentist asked me if I wanted to keep the tooth beacuse she didnt have to break it before pulling it.

Well, if it is causing you discomfort, go to a dentist. They will most likely advise that you get them removed and refer you to some that will do it. The process pretty much sucks, but afterward, you have nothing to worry about. :)

I have a headache and the whole side of my face is sore.

If you're experiencing this it means it strucked a nerve... the pain will only get worst, so i definitely suggest seeing a dentist and yanking that sucker out.

get it pulled, and when you do make sure that you don't get knocked out to do it because when they do that they don't have to be as gentle because you won't feel it until the next day. Make sure that you are awake when they do it. Don't worry about it hurting though, they give you enough drugs to get you pretty messed up.
