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 ?

I was the exact same everytime I had a loose tooth. The shot is crazy though
