Mine were no problem. No pain, no chipmunk cheeks. They were impacted and underneath my other teeth. I did have a general to knock me out. Great - jnine Aug 4, 17:07 2
- I dunno, the last filling I got, I was conscious for, without anaesthetic, and I felt no pain ... -- nm - Beryllium Aug 4, 17:08 1
  - Then you'll do great. -- nm - jnine Aug 4, 17:18
Long story short: When your surgeon pulls out two teeth, wipes his brow and says "Let's do the other two some other time..." That's bad. -- nm - Mop (still 235lbs... on a good day) Aug 4, 16:54
i dont have any wisdom teeth. -- nm - tRuMaN Aug 4, 16:47 19
- I have one. It didn't come in until about a year ago. - Callisto Aug 4, 17:23
- please do not flaunt your obvious genetic superiority ... ;-) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 4, 16:50 17
  - i have no wisdom teeth and still have 6 baby teeth (with nothing to replace them) -- nm - tRuMaN Aug 4, 16:51 16
    - really? that can happen? -- nm - TFox Aug 4, 16:53 14
      - yep, it can - 'lia Aug 4, 17:11 1
        
        oops - 'lia Aug 4, 17:12
      - I only have three. Only ever had three. -- nm - the liioulu with oreos Aug 4, 16:55 3
        
        I had five! Dentist found a little one under the main one. -- nm - mara Aug 4, 17:11 1
        
        yikes! -- nm - the liioulu with oreos Aug 4, 17:19
        
        I only had two, and those fell out with pretty much a light tap by the dentist. Soooo lucky :) -- nm - MojaveMeg Aug 4, 17:08
      - no, it can't. he doesn't exist. -- nm - loosilu Aug 4, 16:54
      - i am special -- nm - tRuMaN Aug 4, 16:54 6
        
        I once had a baby tooth re-implant, because I was too chicken to take it out. - Beryllium Aug 4, 16:58 2
        
        i have one that according to my dentist should have fallen out over 5 years ago. - tRuMaN Aug 4, 16:59 1
        
        maybe it's a Transformer. -- nm - TFox Aug 4, 17:00
        
        can you get all the other teeth sanded down to match? - TFox Aug 4, 16:57 2
        
        honestly - tRuMaN Aug 4, 16:58 1
        
        that's just rad. i bet you could so use that in bars. - TFox Aug 4, 17:00
    - hmm, perhaps I jumped the gun on labelling you as genetically superior. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 4, 16:53
Still have all mine. -- nm - the liioulu with oreos Aug 4, 16:46 2
- me too. all 4. -- nm - Guy Aug 4, 16:58
- All three of them. -- nm - the liioulu with oreos Aug 4, 16:46
I had two out, got drunk that night, won $ playing pool and sorta hooked up with the guy's gf. -- nm - Spawn Aug 4, 16:45

I got all four out on a Friday, was pretty much fine by Monday. (nm) - musubi Aug 4, 16:44
I had them done two at a time (impacted), but there were no complications. It was pretty awful anyway. Good luck! -- nm - mara Aug 4, 16:42
Great, our programmer will be a dumbass now. Perfect. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 4, 16:40 1
- Bah, like anyone would notice -- nm - Beryllium Aug 4, 16:42
mine was a horrific nightmare and I had complications. good luck! -- nm - loosilu Aug 4, 16:40 10
- heh. - b. Aug 4, 16:42 [Backboard] 9
  - hee! although, honestly, I think people should know about that type of infection. it's so dangerous. -- nm - loosilu Aug 4, 16:44 4
    - see below. i'm with you for being informed, but there always seems to be an extra level of something when it's given personal story-wise. ;) --- nm - b. Aug 4, 16:50 3
      - I know, I know. I was just so traumatized I am not good at being quiet about it. Everynoe told me it would be no big deal. - loosilu Aug 4, 16:51 2
        
        It's why I still have my wisdom teeth. Never been a problem and I heard too many horror stories. - the liioulu with oreos Aug 4, 16:55 1
        
        the freakiest part is that I was SO close to not going to the hospital. I had NO idea anything dangerous could happen. That's why I tell people. - loosilu Aug 4, 16:56
  - heh. :) When my fiancee had hers out, she got dry socket ... in at least two of the sockets. Maybe all four. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 4, 16:43 3
    - owie. - b. Aug 4, 16:48
    - I got Ludwig's angina, which is 60% fatal. -- nm - loosilu Aug 4, 16:46 1
      - he's not an angina, he just hit one out against johan. that's all man. -- nm - TFox Aug 4, 16:47
Are they impacted? If not it's a breeze. -- nm - lileve Aug 4, 16:36 14
- I think mine are. I really need to go see my dentist. -- nm - TFox Aug 4, 16:38 4
  - did they ever erupt? if not, impacted. -- nm - loosilu Aug 4, 16:39 3
    - they never spouted molten hot magma, if that's what you're asking. -- nm - TFox Aug 4, 16:42 2
      - I think she means "do you masticate with them" -- nm - Beryllium Aug 4, 16:44 1
        
        Well, they aren't that far out, but I can touch them with my tongue and play with the flaps in my gums that they opened up. -- nm - TFox Aug 4, 16:46
- Dunno. No pain, at least. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 4, 16:37 8
  - are your wisdom teeth erupted or not? -- nm - loosilu Aug 4, 16:40 7
    - half-and-half -- nm - Beryllium Aug 4, 16:42 6
      - yo'ure how old? (I would guess partial impaction) -- nm - loosilu Aug 4, 16:42 5
        
        27 -- nm - Beryllium Aug 4, 16:42 4
        
        yep, impacted. if lucky, only partial. If it's a complete bony impaction, GET GENERAL ANESTHESIA. - loosilu Aug 4, 16:45 3
        
        as a kid i wore braces for 2 years, at 19 after seeing the x-rays of my wisdom teeth i paid to have them removed - 'lia Aug 4, 17:05
        
        My bottom ones were bony impactins. No general anasthesia. What a nightmare. -- nm - mara Aug 4, 16:58
        
        Yes, I'm getting general via IV sedation. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 4, 16:46
I was fine inside of 36 hours. -- nm - David Aug 4, 16:36
is this gonna make you smarter or, since they are taking them out, dumber? -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 4, 16:34 1
- I'm hoping it'll make me less grumpy. However, I have no reason to believe that it will work out that way. :) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 4, 16:36
didnt end up being that big a deal for me...I had the laughing gas so I was awake when they took them out - Stewie Aug 4, 16:33
i had one out last year. you'll be ok. just be sure to follow instructions (no straws, etc.). -- nm - b. Aug 4, 16:29
