I got my wisdom teeth when I was 24. I am 29 now and I haven't had them removed sometimes they cause me pain. I heard that if you get a novacaine shot it numbs your whole face and you could end up with your face stuck looking funny for the rest of your life and I don't much like the thought of laughing gas.

Hi,
What you heard about being "numbed" by a shot at the dentist office, with your face staying that way, is absolutely garbage!
I have had many yrs. Of teeth work done; and it hasn't happened yet!
I also use Nitrous Oxide (Gas) when I go to a dentist; cause I'm one of those very, very nervous people in a dentist chair. The bad nerves also make the teeth and gums much more sensitive to pain, and causes me more pain than some other people... that's why the gas. I don't have any pain at all with it!!

Please see a dentist, as soon as you can, before you get an infection; then, it will really hurt! I do wish you the best.
