My last x-ray confirmed all my wisdom teeth are in fine, but I have another set behind then which might cause issues by putting pressure and causing misalignment. I'm approaching 40 so it's never been an issue, until I have a cold and the sinus pressure make my face feel like it's going to explode!

It's seriously so uncomfortable, like I chewed up some jawbreakers and then got punched in the face a few times on both sides. I almost wouldn't mind having the surgery to remove all 8+ wisdom teeth.
