I so need to get to a dental surgeon. I'm sick to death of this wisdom tooth.

I also don't know what it is I'm eating that tweaks it out.

First suspect that is off the menu is artificial sweeteners of any kind. I already know that maltodextrin tweaks the bejesus out of it, but there seems to be other things too, not so severe.

I also can't tell if it might not be something to do with super sugary chocolate (pure chocolate is fine, but I suspect very strongly sugar), or sunflower seeds, sunflower oil, chemically extracted olive oil, fried potatoes. Not sure either if it might not be something to do with natural or added monosodium glutemate. I used to get tooth pain from my chipped teeth years ago from certain kinds of drip filtered coffee too. Citric acid is definitely under suspicion.

Part of the thing is that I daily use potassium nitrate containing toothpaste to numb the dental nerves that cause this problem, and in spite of this, I'm getting an escalating problem again.

I also suspect sugars in general because certain things do this thing, I don't have a clue what it is exactly, but it seems like transdermal absorption that goes into the area around my jaw and causes this twitchng and swelling and pain, and I have this intermittent sense of swelling around my left ear as well, which seems to be tied to the thing in the jaw.

Things that don't seem to have any impact on this:

- milk
- beef
- cream
- butter
- peas
- stout beer

I'm just gonna continue to avoid anything that involves sugars or seed oils, I strongly suspect both are involved.

The sunflower and pumpkin seeds are in my diet to augment my Thiamine intake but they may be contributing to this problem since they are among the things whose introduction correlates to the increasing pain.
