I can't explain this problem very well so please bear with me. The left side of my mouth hurts. The area near my third molars is swollen and very painful if I bite down. This problem has been coming and going for 10 years, but this time it is a lot worse, or maybe I pay attention to it more.
I never knew I had third molars, but I guess I just didn't notice them. All I saw in that area was a crater, and I figured the pain was due to my tooth above that pushing down into the crater. This time I took the pointy dentist tool and poked into the crater and realized that deep down there is a tooth.
Using a magnified mirror, I can see a small gray flat tooth which almost looks like a third molar is just starting to grow. I think it's just permanently like this.
I don't have insurance and this problem is causing me a great amount of distress. I haven't been able to sleep for the past few days and have attributed it to the pain from this problem.
Thanks for your help
