What seems to be the problem ?   I have a really bad toothache ! My cheek is swollen and I can ’ t eat anything .   Let ’ s have a look . Mmmm . This doesn ’ t look too good . I think we may have to pull out your wisdom tooth . It ’ s pressing against your molars and that ’ s one of the reasons you are experiencing so much pain .   When you pull my tooth will you also have to extract the nerve and the root ?   First we will take some x-rays and see what we ’ re dealing with . I also noticed a small cavity up front here , so you are going to need a filling .   I guess that ’ s what I get for not flossing or brushing my teeth three times a day .
