Owned by wisdom teeth

Any of you ever had your wisdom teeth removed? Mine are just now starting to come in and one of them is growing in crooked, hurts like hell. I'm gonna call the dentist tomorrow.
So, what's the story with yours?

Got one fully through, one halfway. 2 still to come. They hurt like hell. :( No need to get em out - have room in my jaw.

I got all 4 of mine out, it was cake

I'm not actually sure if I'll need to get mine taken out, but they hurt like hell. :(
I've been poppin' pain pills all day long.

Usless wisdom :icon16:

I had my 2 top ones out, the dentist just pulled them and it didnt hurt at all. My right bottom one is coming in now so I went to see the dentist and he told me it was growing in straight but he wants to remove it anyway. He said with the bottom ones you have to cut them out so I told him no. The only reason he wanted me to get them out was so he could make more money. They dont hurt at all and until they do, they are staying in my mouth.

Had all four of mine taken out - it was nothin'. I think the coolest thing (only cuz I didn't know they did this) was when they gave me a shot of novacain in my arm before inserting the I.V.

I woke up right after they finished & didn't feel a thing. And the percocet (I know that's misspelled, but oh well) they gave me for the pain was pretty cool too...

my sister had all of hers removed and she got 3 dry sockets, which is where all the clotting stuff they put in their comes out and your left with holes in your mandible/maxible, after 2 days of agony she had it remedied. i was recently told i had to have all of mine removed but i'm hesitant.

Yep had all 4 of mine taken out about 5 years ago. Wasn’t a pleasant experience as they were all impacted. It took ages for the damn holes to heal again.

you woke up ??? you little girl. Some laughing gas to make me happy and a shot in my gums (hurt) and a shot in the roof of my mouth (hurt like a mother!!!) , I was awake while they were cutting and prying those lil bastards out. Hell the dentist was flicking his cigarette ashes in my mouth hell I couldnt feel much so why the hell not (ok not really lol) . Good thing was , I got all the ice cream I wanted. Bad thing was , my parents stopped to get themselves chinese on the way home :mad: . Then a couple of years later I had to have to recesses in my teeth (natural , dont remember what they called it) drilled and filled and they asked me If I wanted anything and I remembered the needle in the roof of my mouth and said NO. Believe it or not that one prick in the roof of my mouth hurt worse than the entire drilling process with no pain killers.

I have 3 and 3/4 of my wisdom teeth. Didn't hurt all that badly coming in... TRYING DESPERATELY to keep them in b/c my jaw is too small and the 4th tooth hasn't emerged all the way and there was one time when I got an infection b/c of it... :( Oh well.

I had all 4 removed about 4 months ago. It didn't hurt at all. I felt num and tired after the surgery. :icon16:

Just had mine pulled last week :icon16: and a root canal done.It didnt hurt ,but it was hard trying to sleep with a mouthfull of blood.OH AND BASTARD DIDNT EVEN PUT ME TO SLEEP. :mad:

i had mine pulled out pretty young i guess i was 15 when i had them all pulled. it was a weird expereince. They gave me some gas, and i don't remeber much after that. i'm told i slipped in and out of consiousness after it was done, it wasn't till i got home that i realised what was going on. the worst part about it was the week after. i would wake up in the morning with blood in my mouth and one hell of an awful taste

Wow, 15's pretty young. I'm scheduled ot get mine out in May, they are half impacted, which is bad enough to need them out.

Fuck that. I am rather resistant to anesthetic (sp) so I prefer no minor surgery thanks.

What Wisdom Teeth? :icon16: I never got mine in, and I have a smaller jaw (I have 28 teeth- does the "standard" 32 include Wisdoms?) Can they come in at any point in your life? I'm 22 now, and everyone I've spoken with about it generally had to deal with the situation in their teens. I know I'm a "later bloomer" :grinno: as I STILL can't grow a full beard or mustache, I wonder if that means I've yet to deal with the Wisdom Teeth? Then again, if I'm not mistaken, not everyone gets them.

Christ, you people are a bunch of young pups.
I had mine out in 1988. They took three out as they were impacted. One emerged a little crooked, but okay, so I kept it.
The dentist used a general anesthetic. The nausea etc from the anesthetic was more unpleasant than the surgery. Maybe a local and some Valium would have been better.
It was a bit uncomfortable for about 2 weeks, but the codine helped.
I swear though, the side of my head had bruise that looked remarkably like the dentists shoe. Perhaps he needed the leverage.

Tenguzero,
Many people get theres in their mid 20's so there is still hope for you yet. My grandmother got her wisdom teeth at 65.

i still have my wisdom teeth and i'm 18....my dentist says that they're growing in crooked and that they'll need 2 be removed...they're not hurting me so I don't want to get them taken out....I just think that they want to make another payment on their brand new Lexus with my wisdom teeth:rolleyes:

oh my! wisdom i thought only a few unlucky senior citizens get them! and soon will come my turn..

Had mine out around three and a half years ago. It sucked. One tooth was rooted in my sinus cavity and another was resting on a nerve. Oh man, I was in pain for a week.

Swell... :cya:
