Jumping feeling in Wisdom tooth

My upper left hand side wisdom tooth is in trouble!
A dentist told me it has "scaling" along the gumline and to top it off food gets stuck in this "scaling" and makes my breath STINK! It is so humiliating!
Also lately I get a "twitching" feeling in that tooth that goes from painless to PAINFULL twitching. I'll pop up to 10 Aleve in a day to keep the pain under bay when I get a "twitching attack".
What is scaling and why the twitching?
I can feel a "hole" that runs along the gumline on the front of the tooth. I can stick my nail in it and actually scrape out food!
No wonder my breath stinks! Rotting food is stuck in my tooth!
I am so mad because I let my teeth go.
They are yellow and whitestrips do not work at all. Why?
How does a person like me with yellow teeth whiten them if the whitestrips don't work?
I am going to go to a dentist. I get insurance from my state and only 1 dentist in my city accepts my insurance.
The list is backed up to July!
Then I get sent to another city to get the tooth pulled!
I am ashamed of myself for allowing things to get so bad.
I hope the dentistr does not make fun of me or talk bad about me for neglecting my teeth.
