One of my wisdom tooth is coming out at a very slow pace. I have been having toothache for few days now. More likely gum ache. Last time I had one of my wisdom tooth was way back in year 2001. Had really high fever. The tooth came out fast. But one side of my face got swollen and I couldn't eat anything solid. Only baby food. Food tasted bland. Only then I knew how good it was to be able to chew, made food taste good. :D Remember waking up 3 o'clock in the morning walking up and down 5 storey hostel. Walking from one end of the corridor to the other end. Was that painful, couldn't stay at one place.
Anyway now my other one is coming out. But not like the other one. Came out really slow. Been a year already. The pain comes on and off. Only now I could see the tip of the tooth broke through the gum.With this kind of pace maybe the tooth will only fully come out years later. How it got the name wisdom tooth anyway? I will check on this.

I got 3 .. since I was 16. The last one took years to even come to the surface.. My gum is too small for all the teeth. So painful and they are growing in all directions!! But I couldn't stand the thought of extracting them!!!
Apparently, Wisdom tooth is the latest stage of human evolution. Our ancestors didn't have them. So our jaws are trying to evolve to suit these extra teeth and most of ours don't. That's why the extraction!
