Wisdom Teeth

Re: Wisdom Teeth

Pretty much had the same experience as AaronS. Pulled all 4 in 1 visit. Pretty much uneventful except that "cracking sound". Psychologically harsh.

Doc said the wizzies were begining to "ingrow" towards the molars and could cause tooth decay, or even worse, shifting of the whole set if not removed.

Lili Thomlin reckoned the pain of childbirth to passing a watermellon thru your nostril...

Craig Watanabe reckoned the pain of root canal with no numbing like having a hot spear rammed thru one ear and out the other

ROTFLMAO!

Sh$t that cracking sound was very psychologically harsh. The upside of it
is though that will be my impetus to take better care of my teeth. I never
want to go through that again.

The two top teeth were decaying and the bottom ones were on a path to ingrow so thats why I had to get them removed.

Re: Wisdom Teeth

Thanks for bringing up the pain and memories of my wisdom teeth removal.

The wearing off of the novicane wasn't bothersome, it was the sight of the needle that the dentist accidently showed me before he gave me more.

That needle/syringe is amazing, isn't it!!! 'Bout the size of a harpoon!

Re: Wisdom Teeth

Some people, like kevin_jay, just don't have any at all. They're MUTANTS! (I only had three, myself.)

Mutant?

ha ha, I guess I just got lucky huh! Doesn't sound like I am missing out on much anyway.

Re: Wisdom Teeth

I still get all mines(and I'm 38). My longtime dentist(Dr. Hatanaka in HiKai) took a wait-and-see approach, told me not to have them out unless they were bothering me. One on my right upper jaw has come in partially crooked and another dentist told me it would be very difficult to remove since it has fused with the bone(?)... I am not in pain but am worried it might be a problem someday. In the meantime I brush, floss and Listerine like crazy...

Well I must be another form of the Mutants because I had my wisdom teeth removed twice. Once during my late teens and the other during my late 30's.
