Wisdom Teeth: Did You Get Them Out Yet? - Page 2

Sheesh, JB. You would think, with being the GM and all, you wouldn't be so vague in your descriptions.

Actually, I have a sort of funny, kick in the pants story with my wisdom tooth. Last Fall a friend of mine and I were helping out with a school band by our college. We went to practice and somebody was talking about how one of their band members was having their wisdom teeth taken out. She and I started talking about how lucky we were because neither one of us had started getting our wisdom teeth in.

I kid you not. The next night when I was brushing my teeth, I realized I was bleeding. Looking around, cause it kind of scared me when I spit toothpaste out and blood came with it, I realized my bottom right wisdom tooth had just started coming in.

I haven't had it look at yet, but it hasn't really been bothering me at all. The only frustrating thing is that, since I'm not used to having a tooth back there, I'm constantly pinching my skin.

Yet Them You Teeth Wisdom

To get braces, I had a total of 8 teeth removed. I had 4 before the braces pulled and 4 after the braces pulled (to make sure my wisdom teeth did not mess up the work of the braces). I went to a oral surgeon. This truly is the only way to go! Sodium pentothal IV and novacaine cocktail make sure that you sleep nicely through the entire operation. I woke up and couldn't feel my entire head and was minus 4 wisdom teeth. A week later, the stitches came out and no problems.

When I was a child, I was usually sick. From kindergarten until 3rd grade, I was absent from school 40% of the time. The sickness usually switched from tonsilitus to ear infections. I had a old school doctor that did not like the idea of giving up tosils without a fight. In 5th grade, he told my parents that if I got tonsilitus again that he was going to have them removed. I never got it another time. Apparently, all I needed was to be threatened!
