Today I went to an opening of a friend's mother's friend's new dental clinic. I took advantage of the opportunity to talk to the lady about my wisdom teeth problem. They're impacting and I was asking if I couldn't make an appointment with her to get them removed.
So, she agreed to do a full x-ray of my teeth.
She soon discovered that my impacting wisdom teeth weren't the biggest problem I had.
It seems that, under my lower front teeth, there's this lump of like 5 teeth in a ball. It's like some tumor made of teeth. It's not malignant, and I won't be sprouting tooth cancer anytime soon. It's just there, and it's going to cause me some major problems.
Also, a stray canine seems to be growing right in the center of my lower front jaw. I don't know how it got there.
So, it looks like I'm going to have four surgical operations ($$$$). The first will deal with that lump of teeth. The second will deal with moving the canine to its proper place with some hooks and springs or whatever. The third and fourth will involve getting the wisdom teeth out, which will involve sawing away part of my jawbone because there just isn't enough room to squeeze them past my existing molars without damaging them.
Oh, and I'm also going to get braces. :thumbsup:
