I had a rotten wisdom tooth extracted 4 ish years ago. It was a complete cluster fuck and I had to deal with the pain for almost 3 days. It was torture. Had to force myself to eat soft food like a yogurt and a banana on the opposite side of my mouth two times to simply be able to function. I’ve noticed that I still favor that side of my mouth to this day, but I’m consciously forcing myself to use both sides equally.
