I had one wisdom tooth pulled out because it came in at a 45 degree angle away from my jaw; every time I closed my jaw, the tooth would pinch my cheek.
When I was about 12, I had to have four baby teeth pulled out because they were stuck fast by the other teeth. I had to have four root canals at the same time, and they didn't use gas.
I've always had problems with my teeth; in preschool, I fell and somehow damaged my two front teeth, which may have triggered my need for five years with braces. The braces didn't help, and now I have gaps between many of my teeth that make chewing slightly painful and irritating because food ends up getting caught between the teeth. One of my two front teeth is slightly darker than the other, and a peridontist I consulted said it was the result of nerve damage in the tooth.
