i had all 4 wisdom teeth removed as a teenager. i had braces at the time and the orthodontist worried that the wisdom teeth would ruin the progress. i wish i had general anesthesia instead of nitrous oxide cause i was freaking out but too scared to say so. no one should ever be able to remember/feel their teeth being cracked and the pieces pulled out. it was horrible.

Mi no eva have wisdom teet. Guess dat why mi not wise.

You saved to move to Jamaica ...very wise.

I had all 3 wisdom tooth removed 1 year ago. The other one dont seem like it will ever come out.

But they put me under general anasthesic, when i woke up my mouth was in some much pain and a headache, they gave me a mirror to look in my mouth but i couldnt open my mouth to see anything. My throat was dry and i was feeling really thirsty.

That evening my mouth was swolen like a balloon. I had to take pain killings for a week, drink on nurishment, i absolutely hate soup but they cook me soup and forced me to drink it. I couldnt even drink the soup from the tiniest spoon and it burn my mouth.


The worst part about it i could feel the dissolvable stitches that they used to sow up my jaws. I was off work for 2 1/2 weeks and i lost 14 pounds.

Terrible situation to be in.

I had all 4 of mine removed with only nitrus and lidocaine. I actually heard one of my roots crack and break off as the tooth was pulled out. It didn't bother me at all. (Consider the source, though, I also love to watch the surgery channel ) If you are going to have it done this way, ask if you can bring a walkman and listen to music while they are hacking at you.

I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth removed about 16 years ago. My insurance would'nt pay to be put to sleep so my Mom helped me pay for it. $150 back then. I said, " no way someone is ripin 4 teeth out of my face while I'm awake!!"

Now, I'm a dental assistant!!!!

I help to pull other peoples teeth out!!!
