I’ve always wondered why wisdom teeth were called as such. I mean, it’s not really connected to the brain (unless you count the pain that passes from the nerves to it), so I don’t think it has to do with wisdom, intelligence, or being smart.
Anyway, this wasn’t just a random thing that popped in my head. It’s just that, my lower right wisdom tooth is starting to come out again (yes, it starts and stops growing randomly. Weird, eh?) and it’s causing me a bit of pain. I tried feeling for it (and yes, my hands were clean), and it’s pretty swollen. Argh. I just hope it would subside soon, because having my jaw hurt like this sure isn’t a party.
Maybe I should go to the dentist and have it extracted. After all, the two wisdom teeth on the upper row have been removed already. Why not the lower ones?
