Toothache and tooth extraction

Just after we had our company Christmas party, when I was fast asleep I was awoken by a sudden throbbing pain in my mouth. At first I could not pinpoint where the pain was coming from but after I woke up I could sense the source of my pain was from the farthest molar tooth. I checked and there’s no crack on my tooth it was like it was pushing the molar adjacent to it. I ignored it and just made a quick mouthwash.
But the morning after the pain came back so i bought some pain reliever but the toothache didn’t leave me I made appointment with the dentist the next day. The dentist hesitated and just gave me antibiotics and pain reliever. The whole weekend was very painful and I skipped meals because I couldn’t chew anymore. The antibiotics seem to not working anymore. I decided to make appointment with the dentist and insisted on having it extracted.
Today, I finally have it extracted and what a relief I felt. The pain is gone but I expect pain will come back after anesthesia will wear off. I have pain meds to take care of this and it’s different from what I was suffering before.

It looks like the wisdom tooth which is at the edge of the jaw. That is really painful.

@Alexandoy Though it has been years that tooth caused no trouble at all. Only this time it caused havoc in my life. Now he’s out of my system now.

@rsa101 I also had experienced that. When you said it was like pushing the other molar I suspected it was the wisdom tooth.

@RebeccasFarm Mee too I started to put in false teeth to the one they extracted so chewing would not be that bad especially I lost the molar tooth.

Wonder why the dentist didn't extract it the first time?

I am glad you were able to get the tooth extracted, I had my wisdom teeth out when I was teen.

@crazyhorseladycx From what I read its because the tooth shows up at a certain age range from 19 and above those were the times when the human is supposed to have reached his/her wisdom.

Actually after extraction I felt much better than the tooth stays there. I just need for it to heal. The doctor said it was the wisdom tooth that was removed and that is what is expected of them they easily gets to deteriorate than other tooth.
