My bottom wisdom teeth have been giving me problems for a year or so now. Recently i've been getting really bad headaches on the sides of my head, and now my jaw hurts so bad that I sometimes cannot chew. I'm guessing my teeth are impacted because there is a flap of gum over both of them. Food often gets stuck under that flap. I guess i'm just wondering if it's possible that my jaw has become infected due to the bacteria building up in my gum flaps. I am going to make a dentist's appointment tomorrow and assume they'll suggest a removal of both teeth, but I just wanted a little insight/experience with this problem. Thanks!
