At what age did you get your wisdom tooth and what did you do have to do with that?

If it's an abscess, my sympathy, been there done that, pretty terrible. I've wondered the same. Considering an infection like that can be dangerous and if someone's only option was to try to pull the tooth, I imagine many people may have died from it.

My dentist wouldn't even touch mine until I'd taken the antibiotic, and before the meds I just kept sipping hot tea. I find it worrying that supposedly some antibiotics are becoming less effective...

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
