Well I'm 15 and my wisdom teeth are coming in and they do not hurt at all, maybe I will not need them removed?

[RudiVisser]

Mine are coming through, they seem to be coming in at an angle but after reading this thread there is no way in Hell that I am going to the dentist, I hate it enough as it is.

I'll just stick to my pre-prescribed co-codomol and get a "contact" for when I run out. Job done.

That and gabehabe's suggestion of Vodka. The combination sounds great to me.

@Magixion: It makes pretty lucky that's for sure!

Mine didn't hurt, but if they didn't pull them they sure as hell were going to.

I had a problem with crowding in my mouth. I had all four taken out at once when I was in middle school. It sucked. And my mother that cared about education made sure to schedule the appointment over the Easter break so I could heal in time for school.

And I mean crowding. The next year I had 7 teeth pulled in the span of 3 weeks. 3 on one side and 4 more 3 weeks later. Several months after that I had braces put on.

My GF can't figure out why I hate dentists.

You had ice cream for breakfast! Next thing you know you'll be having Skyhawks next a baby. My dentist was pretty tired too after he finally got one of mine out. Sure, we put it off but it is way better to have it pulled or ROOT CANAL. A few days it's all.
So how many teeth then does Robin19 have left?

This confuses me, because the one wisdom tooth I've had pulled was done under local anasthetic, took 20 minutes (including prep and cleanup), and I was able to chew gum 20 minutes after it was out.

The worst part was the pain medication(I had lortab) for me; They made me puking sick and I didn't even need them after the second day. I waited to long to take them and took 2 before I went to bed(you don't actually sleep) and that was a big mistake. After the second day heavy usage of ibuprofen did it for me

advice: take pain pills before anesthesia wares off and never take more than your supposed to.

You took two Lortab at the same time? That was kinda asking for it.

I had all four of my wisdom teeth decide to come out at the same time (more or less).

They crowned and were fully out and operational.

Since you cannot brush that far back those teeth will almost certainly get cavaties and almost certainly get infected. I had infections so far gone on two of the teeth that it hit my nerve and the slightest TOUCH would be enough to incapacitate me completely.

But that was after 8 months of having it infected. After 8 months of infection it no longer hurt, only when I touched it.

Let me tell you about my life before that "grace period". I could not sleep. I could not think straight. Imagine a pulsating pain that does not stop. For the entire day. Day in day out. It got to the point where I would sleep sometimes on the toilet with a wet cloth in my mouth trying to numb the pain. MONTHS of this.

Finally bit the bullet and had all four removed.

None of that sissy full anesthetic though. I was wide awake, with just local lidocaine given via syringe right in the gums.

Yep, 1 hour to remove all four. The doctor had to slice open my gum for one that was growing sideways. But the procedure was very clean and quick.

I slept like a BABY that night.

tl:dr; Don't put it off. Be brave and bite the bullet. Your LIFE changes, I shit you not.

I think it's a US thing, where they make a big deal out of it. I had the same experience you had, in Bolivia.

@Sergio Tapia, That's just it- I had my wisdom tooth removed in the states. What's more, it was done by my grampa (who's still practicing, but is kind of in semi-retirement, because he doesn't take new patients and the customers he does have have been his patients for an average of 40 years or so, and he usually works on them in his office downstairs and then invites them upstairs for lunch or a drink afterwards), and the expectation was explicitly one of "here's a quick procedure, lets get this done, then you go wash up and lets have lunch with the rest of the family".

[no2pencil]

I had my wisdom teeth pulled when I was 17. The next morning we went on the family vacation for the year. A nice 12+hr long car ride. Bunch of photos of me with a pillow & a bucket.

Also, just for fun, I demanded that the dentist let me keep my teeth. I explained to him that I was only paying him to remove them. They were not his teeth to throw away, they were mine.

You never know when you're gonna need spare parts.

Hurt like fuck coming through though, was even reduced to tears with one of them.

Is it wrong that I get sexually aroused to the thought of you crying?

[gabehabe]

Not at all, I think of you crying every time I fap.
