Wisdom teeth

I took a few days off from school. I remember after the procedure my mom took me to BK and I got a chocolate milkshake. :D

I don't think I have any. Im none the wiser :(

I'm 27 and I've never had any taken out. I guess I haven't noticed a problem in my mouth yet.

I have the four of them out (sucks really).
My perants say that I must be the wisest person on the planet, but I don't think I am even as wise as an owl.
they suck when they come out, so painful. :(

I had my wisdom teeth removed yesterday. I fell no pain except for the fact that my 2nd molar on the left bottom side was completely destroyed. If it were not for that I would be saying

"I don't get why everyone complains about wisdom teeth being removed?"

I didn't even need any pain medication...okay so I am bull[img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img]ting you. I know why I don't need pain medication. Because I happen to rule! My wisdom teeth have been in for 4ish years or more so it was just pulling teeth. No going into the jaw and gums to fish them out.

My second molar really is ruined BTW. I don't know if I can be capped or if it will also have to be removed. Either way this is not going to be a fun monday.

Just curious to ask if anyone else on here has/had more than four? Kind of weird when they did the x-ray for mine and told me I had five wisdom teeth, guess its not a common thing lol. Just curious

mine are hiding, and reading miriel's post was a bad idea;.;;;;;;;;

all 4 of mine are comeing in painfully. :'( i constantly carry pain killers cuz of the headaches/toothaches i was supposed to get them pulled last month :S its so spensive tho! "only" $500 to gas me. :/ ive heard horable things, but i think it would be worth it to stop the pain. :/

I didn't even realize I had cut them, my dentist told me I had! I only felt what my dentist said must have been them cutting on the 4th one (lower left) but that was it and I never felt it at the back I felt it in my upper right canine tooth for some reason....

I had all of mine taken out at one time by a dental surgeon. I didn't feel a thing and was in dreamland all day from the anesthetic. It was rather pleasant actually. :cat:

Btw, any posts that were off topic have been removed.

My bottom ones, I didn't expect to remove my bottom ones since I had 4 teeth taken out when I had braces so I wasn't exactly pressed for space. But they started growing in sideways and I had to have them taken out.

I was absolutely terrified. Which is funny because I *know* it's not really painful to remove teeth since I've already had 4 removed. But still, freakin' terrified about the whole thing. I was literally shaking in the dentist's chair. The whole anticipation of it, the worry that the anesthesia wouldn't work, the horrid sound the pulling of teeth makes, uugh. It's a bad bad experience all around.

Especially after you get them pulled and the blood just keeps coming and you have to have gobs of gauze in your mouth. And even after the blood stops your whole mouth is sore for days, even weeks. And even after all that, when everything begins to heal, you have bits of food falling into the gaping holes.

I hate teeth. I hate the dentist.

Thank you, that makes me feel so comfortable! /sarcasm :p

i still have my first one, ever since the middle of September last year. i plan to get it pulled out since it has been causing minor, but recurring tooth sores...

They only really hurt if your mouth hasn't got the room to fit them. If you have minor gaps inbetween teeth that your dentist hasn't corrected then your wisdom teeth will correct them as they will push the teeth round to fit the new ones. It hurts but less so that a wisdom tooth cutting without any give room. Also the one to be aware off especially with the upper jaw is that the tooth can grow upwards in to the skull which = teh nastiness

I finished growing one a couple of years ago...... I'm not sure where the other one is though...... should I be afraid?

No you can get anywhere between 0 and 4 wisdom teeth just because you cut one doesn't mean you'll get all 4. It just means your not as wise :P lol.

In all honesty they can take about 5 years to come through and like I said you don't always get 4.
