Q: Possible wisdom teeth ?

I can't remember the last time I was at a dentist. Growing up my parents didn't have a health plan that covered dental, so I wasn't able to have braces or get my teeth straightened, which they are in dire need of. While I brush 2 times everyday, its discouraging because my gums are probably the most sensitive things in the world and I have to stop if I don't want to brush in blood. Anyways, the back lower left of my mouth has been hurting lately. It feels as though a tooth is digging into my cheek when that has never happened before. I don't know whether or not these are wisdom teeth or something else. I'm at the university level now where I have a general plan that covers dental and also work to support any minor costs. I've been kind of embarrassed to go see a dentist after this long and in this shape, but I'd like to make a change and find out what's causing problems in the back of my mouth.

RE:
nope wisdom teeth come once n only once- u may have some kind of infection in the tender area- u should check with a dentist fairly soon- it is not good to leave a dental infection untreated - it can lead to other serious health problems
