That sucks, I hope you're feeling better.
It's hard to tell but I've had a lot of dental work. You name it I've probably had it, fixed it or lost it. Dental bridge at 21, anyone? A mix of bad dental genes, a lack of floss and gum upkeep and a major sweet tooth growing up has led to a major teeth overhaul. My dentist is great though, he doesn't charge me for nitrous and I get it EVERYTIME. Filling...yep, root canal...you better believe it, just for the heck of it during a cleaning...sometimes.
I think that because the cost of my work will probably put his daughter thru college he gives me a break. It's all worth it. I'd rather fix them now than not have them at all.
As for the wisdom teeth... I'd think about having them put you out.
NA ~ 9 years of braces? My hat's off to you!
