Current Events > How many of you have your wisdom teeth?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I got one left. My 3rd one was taken out 2 days ago.

It was not impacted, but very stubborn.

According to internet, 85% (17/20) will have all their wisdom teeth gone in their lifetime.

You mean 34/40

Nope, had em all pulled long ago

I had all of mine yanked at 18 between high school and starting college.

My parents drove me to oral surgeon. I remember going in and getting gassed. Then nothing until my parents had me leaving the oral surgeon. I was arguing with them saying they hadn't removed my teeth yet. On the drive home, I started yelling at them and accused them of kidnapping me. The rest of the day is like a clip book of memories. I proceeded to sleep like 16 hours straight. It was wild.

Im 29 and have not had to deal with them

I have all 4 of mine.

Only one of them ever came in, and it's been removed since

got all 4 yanked last november

plus a molar that got ruined by one of them

All four in one go. Didn't need the Norco. Didn't say anything stupid while doped up. Overall success.

I'm 40 and I just started getting them out because they're impacted.

Mine were removed back in 1999, I think. I don't remember when I had 4 non-wisdom teeth removed, but my mouth is rather small and I have 24 teeth, 12 on top/bottom (normal average is 28 teeth without wisdoms).

All 4 were badly impacted and subsequently taken out. It was nice that it was free since I was in the military. It was less nice since it was the military and they botched the shit out of it.

My first 2 got pulled in 2016. Not sutured. Holes are big as my thumb. Bled like halloween.

This one was cleaner and sutured. But of course, the jaw is sore, and I had not so righteous pain.

I kept this one.

I had all mine and they fit just fine, but I couldn't brush them without activation my gag reflex, so they're gone

Bottom 2 grew in sideways and top 2 were too crowded in to grow out all the way. Had all 4 removed during winter break my senior year.

I had to get a molar pulled and my wisdom tooth grew in to replace it, so I don't have any missing teeth now.

all 4 of mine were taken out at the same time. I woke up from the drugs already in the passenger side of the car while at a wendys drive thru and had the bloodiest, nastiest frosty of my life.

Had them cut out a couple years ago... Three at once as one was giving me trouble and I had it pulled previously. I was fucked for like two weeks... Lived on Ensure and mashed potatoes for the first few days... That cold ass Ensure was heaven on my gums.

Had them out since 17, now 36.

I have all of mine still in

Got one removed a few years ago. Now I have to get the other three removed as they are starting to develop infections.

I've still got all of my wisdom teeth. But they had room to grow as I've only got 28 teeth even after they grew in. Idk why, I just don't have all the normal set I guess.

they're in a jar, somewhere...

Nope, dentist didn't like how they were growing. Hauled 'em out long ago.

Got mine all removed in April. Two were impacted (one top one bottom), and the other two were ruptured. Plus, my bottom wisdom teeth were beginning to cause me to bite down on the sides of my cheek occasionally starting around February.

All good now, though I've kinda had to retrain myself to chew because it made me realize how much I'd been favoring chewing with them before.

The procedure was also thankfully not as harrowing as I was expecting. If there's two things I definitely don't like, it's surgeries and dentist offices, so I wasn't looking forward to it. I wasn't even put under, just given some comfortable laughing gas. And whatever numbing shot they used was some top rate shit because I didn't really feel any pain. Most of my teeth popped out with very little fuss. The only one that caused, at worst, slight discomfort was when they had to drill one of my bottom ones in half due to its positioning. But my surgeon was a very nice woman who knew what she was doing and I couldn't have been in better hands.
