Toothache?

Or is there such thing as a gum ache...?

I'm someone who brushes my teeth religiously- morning and night. Without fail. I just have to. It's a routine thing that I do. But I never floss. People tell me I need to floss my teeth, but everytime I do, it causes problems. =.=

Which is exactly what happened a few days ago.
I remembered what these people told me and thought maybe it's about time I start flossing my teeth. So I did. It was all fine.

The next day however... my gums hurt. not all over... just... this one place.
you see, i have another wisdom tooth growing at the back... So far, just like my first one- it hasn't caused any problems. I can see about 4mm of it now... But ever since that flossing incident, my gum around that area hurts. It didn't help that when i ate my cereal this morning, i bit down really hard on some hard bit (dried apple im guessing...) at that painful tender area... OMG that hurt like shit.

I considered the possibility of a cavity in my tooth... but its not the nerves in the tooth or whatever that hurts, its the gum area, away from all that teeth... :(

I think i vaguely remember something like that happening before sometime ago... But after a while (a few days... longer than now) it went away.

So hopefully *fingers crossed* the pain goes away soon. And it'll probably be a while before I use the floss again :S or maybe just floss the front and ignore the back cuz its always the back that's causing problems.

But if this doesn't resolve itself in the next few days... Maybe it's time i visited a dentist somewhere outside Kuantan...

Where is the dentist anyway?? :S
