Lol. Wow, I was just looking through old posts and saw this and it struck me because in the last year or so I've been dealing with this all again. For the record, about eight years and 15 thousand or so dollars later... I'm pain free and I have great smile.

I went through similar trauma last year. First I had gotten an infection in the back of my mouth behind my wisdom tooth that made it swell to the point I couldn't open my mouth. I couldn't even fit my index finger between my teeth. That went away, but then 6 months later I started getting the most excruciating pain around one of my molars (same part of the mouth). After going through a night of zero pain and 100% agony I went to the dentist and he said I needed to get my wisdom tooth removed as it was impacting my other teeth, and the tooth next to it needed a filling. The wisdom tooth came out just fine like a normal pull, but it turns out my other tooth needed a root canal, not just a filling, and he said he had no time to prep for a root canal, so he pulled it. Did NOT expect that. His only words of consolation were "You have a small mouth anyway, you won't miss it."

Ouch, I've heard wisdom tooth stuff can be a bitch. Mine actually turned out not to be a huge problem, as far I know they're all still hangin out sideways under my gumline. They were pressing the rest of my teeth together, but I had some extractions next to them and they don't really matter now.
I did have a massive amount of restoration work done on my bottom teeth. My top teeth, I had entirely surgically removed. They were pretty much all ankylosed and I lost a good bit of jawbone there, so I had to follow that up with bone grafting to support implants and then the implant surgeries and the multitude of other crap you gotta do to get the look and bite right and all that jazz. ... It's been fun.

Yeah I need to get two of my teeth worked on. One I might have removed just to make things even with the other tooth that was extracted. And the only reason I haven't gotten it done is because I don't have the money x.x otherwise they aren't really bothering me.

Oh yeah, no doubt about it the financial burden is no joke. That's why I've done little to nothing about it for the last decade or so...
Even now that I did it all, with dental insurance that barely covered a quarter of the costs, it was mostly cash up front out of pocket. I only was able to because I fell bass ackwards into a bit of money last year.
