And no, I don't feel any wiser, darn it! It's driving me crazy. My bottom ones have been in for a while, they came in very gradually, so I barely felt them. Now my top ones are coming in with a vengeance it seems. My whole jaw hurts from the pressure and I keep (unconsciously) grinding my teeth and clenching my jaw because it's so bothersome. Are there any special tips you can give me regarding how to deal with them? I know eventually I need to get them removed, but I'm not around family or DH right now, and won't be for a few months, so I can't get them yanked out and have no one to take care of me (yes, I'm a wimp, and yes, I will have to be put to sleep for them even to touch me).
EDIT - Is it possible for them to get infected, and if so, what signs should I look for?

Sorry I don't have any advice but just wanted to give you some sympathy . I had mine all out when I was 16 and they never had a chance to give me any grief. I guess once you have children you will really sympathize at teething time lol!
I still have mine, and they don't hurt me thank goodness. The best I can say is to stop clenching, cause that will make it worse. I understand though, I've had tooth pain before.
Hey.. i know how you feel.. all four of mine came in at the same time!!! Hurt like crazy!! ... my bottom ones started getting infected because of food getting stuck there and i couldn't do a thing about it so thats why i had all mine done at once. It's really not that bad at all. i was in and out within 2 hours and able to eat whatever i wanted withing a couple of days. i had no swelling at all or brusing. thank god. i can't take pain. but i was also on demarol.. lol
and let me tell you.....you don't want what happened to me to happen to you........I had my top two out when I was 18 that was well quite a few years ago......my bottom two came in slowly...so really I never noticed them....and I didn't experience any pain from them.....so I figured that would be okay.......that was about 4 years ago.......about 1 year ago one of them......part of the tooth broke off.......and still I had no pain......so I didn't worry alot about it.......I just went about my business.....didn't even think about it.....then about 6 months ago.....I was reading the news on line.....and all of a sudden I felt this intense sharp pain in my jaw and then a cool sensation.......after that the pain spread to my ear, throat, gum, other teeth and head.....I could do nothing...as I had no insurance.....the pain got worse.....and all I had to take was advil.....it helped take the edge off......but that was about it.....about 3 months ago went to the dentist....had to be referred to an oral surgeon......the infection was so bad....I was on penicillian for 2 weeks......then they would remove them.....after two weeks.....still had the infection.....so 2 more weeks of penicillian.....went back....still infected....so 2 more weeks of penicillian and added another anibiotic......that I took 3 times a day for 2 weeks.......went back....still slight infection 2 more weeks of penicillian....finially I got them out.....continued on penicillian for 2 more weeks.....then went to my doctor because my throat was sore....and developed sores in my mouth and on my tounge......I got the worst cause of thrush that my doctor had even seen..it had spread down my throat...2 other doctors came in to look at it.....let me just say....if this is what babies get then.....OMG....it is painful........very painful....couldn't talk, eat, swallow.........on anti-fungal for 2 weeks.......been off of it now.....still had pain in my mouth....went back to dentist....still have infection......on another 2 weeks of antibiotics.....my point is.....get it taken care of NOW.......don't do what I did.......it's not worth it.......not at all....slowly my mouth problems are getting better..........don't wait........all of this could have been avoided.......if I would have done something.......sooner....even when they didn't hurt......so take care of it........
