One of mine was growing almost sideways toward the front of my face too. The old orthodontist about stroked out trying to get all the tooth and roots out. He had to stop cutting and yanking for breathers a few times. Scared me as he acted like he was about ready to give up and leave me with half of a wisdom tooth still in my butchered up mouth. Finally did get it all though. Handed me a little white envelope full of Demerol tablets as I was leaving.
