    PS.. given that it is decayed.. i'm assuming the extraction wont be too hard!
    I'd definately speak to the dentist again because with one of my wisdom teeth that I had extracted, I had put it off as I didnt want another tooth extracted so soon after the other & the dentist told me not to put it off too long as the decay will make it harder to pull out because it can brake easier as he's pulling it out so could crack into pieces & make it alot more difficult than a "healthy" wisdom tooth.

    Just something else to keep in mind. As I said, best to ask your dentist.

    just thought i'd update on this..

    i went to the surgeon and as the wisdom had been left too long and was growing on a 45degree angle into the molar in front, both the wisdom and molar had too be removed.

    had it done in the chair.. not too bad.

    the stitches and swelling was pretty uncomfortable for 3 days tho... but panadol every 4 hrs fixed that up.

    all good.. glad it's done.. just waiting for the stiches to come out now.
