I got 1 wisdom tooth removed last week. I had a shot of anaesthesia(sp?) so it really wasn't a painful extraction process. But my dentist asked me in the middle of the operation why was I pale, and I said I'm really very hungry, I haven't eaten since breakfast.
So I got lectured since I didn't know that it could seriously weaken the body when you extract a tooth and you haven't eaten.
I had double dutch ice cream afterwards to numb the excruciating pain.
I have no room for any more teeth, and im 19, so I assume I already have them. Plus nothings come through for many years
I have two of four wisdom teeth.......the other two must have flown away while I wasn't looking.
Yeah, I really liked that. When I woke up I felt really refreshed.Quote:

And Miriel's post certainly puts the worst light on it.
I remember posting in a topic just like this..! Oh how time flies :(
I don't have wisdom teeth, and I hope I never will. ^_^ *am very evolved and stuff*
My top right one is mostly in, and my top left one is just starting to cut through. They don't hurt, it just feels weird. I don't have a problem with spacing.
If there isn't enough room for my bottom ones though, I have a couple of molars I wouldn't mind getting rid of. Although I'd just as soon avoid dentists alltogether. Nothing puts you off dental work like a root canal.
I had mine taken out about four years ago. It was fun 'cause they gave me happy drugs. Yay!
Wisdom Teeth? I have no idea what those are. But my mouth feels perfectly fine, and I am certainly very wise. I don't think I want them taken out.
They're your third molars, and they generally emerge during your late teens/early twenties. Most people don't have enough room for them, and that can cause all sorts of unpleasentness. So far, I'm lucky. ;)Quote:

I had to have mine removed to prepare for my braces about 2 years ago. Unfortunately, they were just starting to emerge from my gums, so I had four gaping holes in my mouth at once. It was rather painful and unpleasant for the next week or so, but the Vicodin SO helped in that area.
I had all of mine taken out. I was out for maybe 18 or so hours, and I was ready to go the next day. It was kind of fun taking perks when I didn't need them anymore.
I had my mouth X-rayed by a dentist and she couldn't see any coming through so I'll probably never have them.
