Society/Culture Sometimes I like tooth pain

I don’t mean tooth pain from a cavity (I’ve never experienced that but I can tell it absolutely sucks), but I remember when I was younger and had loose baby teeth I liked pushing on them even though it hurt. Like it hurt but it felt good. Same with today when I was getting a shot around the roof of my mouth to numb me for wisdom tooth removal it honestly felt kind of a good and I know that sounds weird which is why it’s getting posted on here. And no i do NOT have a pain kink. i think maybe it’s almost similar to how pressing on a bruise or sore spot can feel good ?

The pain itself sucks to the point u cant eat any food that u need to bite till it wears off ( technically you can but it will be very painful)so prepare yourself or just take pills for no pain, however the pain is only when the orthodontist changes the wire and its only for less than a week im pretty sure
