Wisdom Teeth

[Miss Mae]

Mine are still in my head because there was room back there for them.

This is what I'm hoping for in the end. If there's room for them to grow then I'm not going to worry about it.

I had some teeth pulled when I was younger, so the rest of my teeth were moved forward to fill the gaps, which left room for my wisdom teeth to not cause sufferance when they began to emerge. If you've have teeth pulled, it might work!

I'm not know why this isn't done more on purpose. I'm not really familiar with the medical needs to have wisdom teeth removed, but it seems that pulling one of your other teeth to make room for the wisdoms would be more efficient and less painful than surgery and painkillers and recovery time of removing wisdom teeth. When I've had teeth pulled, I was sore for a bit but just fine for the next day. The idea of bloody cotton stuffed into your mouth and being doped up on pills and in pain for 3-4 days or a week sounds terrible.

I had three teeth pulled before I had my four s removed, so I've had seven teeth taken out total now. I don't know if taking more teeth further up to make room would've worked because firstly I'd already spent a few grand on straightening my teeth with braces so I wouldn't want to undo that good work and secondly because of the angle my s were growing in at. If they were growing straight up, they probably would've fit better, but they were pushing into my back teeth instead and so were never even going to breach my gums without surgery.
