Hello,

Three years ago; I had my wisdom teeth removed. I bled a lot and it was extremely painful for weeks. The surgeon had difficulties extracting them as they were big and weren't growing in the right direction (too big for my mouth) some of my teeth began moving, re-adjusting into my mouth, creating a gap between two of the top back teeth whereas I lost the temporary bandage I had on the bottom back teeth. I had a check up a year or so later and everything was fine. But then, my jaw began making incredibly loud noises when I chewed, opened my mouth and often began to crack while the side would hurt a little but nothing major. I never had any real pain, just mainly my jaw cracking and making noises. Later again, my tooth began being more sensitive to cold, showing a deep hole where the bandage used to be. Until recently, the side of the tooth seemed to have weakened, being loose. One evening, I ran my tongue over it and it fell into my mouth. I didn't bleed, it didn't hurt or anything. The inside was a little darkened and the piece that broke wasn't big, shorter than a pinky nail. Now, it hurts a little and I looked into the mirror and the inside of the tooth is gone, leaving my flesh/gum bare... I think it is the sensation of having no tooth when I move my tongue or it being exposed like that that hurts, but it goes through phases... Sometimes it will, sometimes it won't. How can I stop it from being like this? It brings me more discomfort than pain, as if something was stuck when it isn't. I live in the country side and my car broke down, leaving me unable to travel far. The dentist near my house can't give me an appointment until mid-August... will it be okay until then? I feel it is already partially late but I have tried many times to get dentist appointments and with life getting in the way and all the waiting for appointments, moving out, exams, it was simply impossible. Could the tooth breaking be a result of it getting damaged when I got my wisdom teeth removed? Is it possible to fix the tooth so I can not lose it as it is my second molar. I know it may sound silly but I am really scared and one of my fears is to lose my teeth. Thanks for your kind response.
