Wisdom Teeth

When I had my wisdom teeth taken out in June the worst thing about it was before they had put the gas on and that heroin needle into my arm they put headphones on my head, and what was playing on those headphones you ask? Well it was John Tesh of course

Before the surgery I took like 3.5 valiums within a span of 8 hours. they were only suppose to give me 2.5 but the pharmacist screwed up. And I was pretty screwed up the next day before the opperation too, though still concious, but just barely concious to listen to John Tesh before passing out, and it just made my day that much worse. It almost seems like something the dentist from the marathon man would do, heh.

AHAHAHHA SUCKERS!

The Rob was the smart one.

The Rob was born without wisdom teeth.

According to my dentist, one of my four wisdom teeth is non-existent. Yes, you heard that right, it will never grow in; their is no root. Yes, you are correct, you're speaking to the next step in evolution, baby.
Now, stay calm, people, autographs will be given one at a time.

I never got mine.

Would have thought that they'd have made their appearance by 25.

Maybe they're late bloomers. Heh.

You'll be pleased to hear I'm not going to make a bad joke about your lack of wisdom...

At least one of mine is threatening to gatecrash at the moment. The bastard.

It's better to get them out anyway, esspecially if you had braces. Otherwise, they'll shift your teeth around and you'll need braces again. And nobody wants braces twice.

I was on a waiting list for seven years to get braces. And now I won't be getting them off until next year sometime. I mean, seven years, how inneficient can a health service be...

Is yours government run?

Christ. I walked into the orthodontist, got my teeth molded, a month later I had braces.

i only have two, one is halfway grown in. it's crooked, but it doesn't hurt at all, so they're not going to bother with it. And I'm 23 w/ only half of one, so I have no idea about the age thing.

Mine don't hurt, but they're at such an odd position that they rip
open the sides of my mouth whenever I move my jaw.

Is that bad?

Getting mine out pretty soon. Good thing I got a buddy with the liquid vicadin and percocet hook up.

Not only is it government run, but the letters some of my friends and I got telling us we could make appointments came right before an election. A conveniently timed reminder that those in power were still industriously Working For The People.

is this where we're supposed to make our jokes?

when i was seven years old my father told me to get in the car, we were going for ice cream. instead we went to the dentist's office where i had four teeth yanked out of my head. no joke. (it's times like this that i remember why i'm so fucked up) i have had over twenty teeth forcibly "extracted" by dentists and 2 full-anaesthetic oral surgeries, PLUS braces with headgear that looked and felt like a medeival torture device (luckily i only had to wear it at night), all so that i won't look like trailer trash when i smile. oh, and i still have a piece of wire cemented permanently to the backs of my bottom front teeth. they call this disfigurement a "permanent retainer."

i am, however, the proud owner of four perfect, perfectly placed, fully erupted, cavity-free wisdom teeth that no one has ever once even mentioned having extracted.

i don't know whether to laugh about that or cry.

Statistically speaking, a significant percentage of people never develop wisdom teeth at all. I could look up the exact number, but am feeling lazy at the moment. In the future, that number will be higher.

I was not lucky enough to be born one of those fine folks; my own fifth molars have been severly impacted for more than 10 years and I can't afford the surgery to have my jawbones taken apart and then put back together properly.

And I thought dribbling blood for two hours was bad. Insomnomaniac, I bow to you...

I had headgear, too. That shit was [i]awesome[/i].

i had headgear, but i never fucking wore it. and for that, i had braces for an extra year. that was a total of five years with braces!

i'm just here to secretly stalk insomnomaniac's avetar.
oh, i had my smart teeth yanked out a couple years ago... it kicked ass... but the doc dropped his drill on my lip while i was unconcious and didn't have the guts to tell me when i came to. i think there were four stitches in my lip, along to the others in my face cavity. i didn't care because with those pills and all the sleep, vanity and giving a shit seemed to go right out the window. or whatever.

I heard about some girl who went to get hers out and the doctor gave her too much anesthesia and she ended up in a coma for 6 entire years.

What a crazy world we live in.

My experiences in the removal of my wisdom teeth rocked. I sat in the chair, they hooked me up to an IV as well as some laughing gas, and within seconds I'm out. I vaguely remember a stinging sensation crawling up my arm right before plunging into the drug-induced sleep. I woke up what seemed like moments later mumbling something to the nurse. She takes me to the recovery room where I play with the numbness of my lips, testing for sensitivity. When I don't find any, my attention is drawn to the three light switches across the hall that are slooooooooowly merging into one. The nurse comes in with my dad and says something about me finding my mouth, then proceeds to wipe away all the blood I'd smeared on my face. The rest is milkshakes and jello.

Military medicine is the best. Went in, sat down in the chair, got 4 shots to the gums (the only painful part of the procedure). Twenty minutes later they're being pulled out. No pain, just a freaky cracking sensation, especially since the bottom ones had to be split in half before they could be pulled out. I also had a constant feeling of being about to choke because my throat was too numb to swallow the spit and blood pooling in it.

I got a two-day supply of Vicodin and the obligatory Motrin (military doctors consider it to be the panacea of the modern age). I never really needed it, though. All I felt for the next couple of days was a dull throb. I've had worse headaches (not that I didn't take full advantage of the Vicodin, however. Fun, even if it did make me itch a little bit).

Off topic but,

UnbelieverDjak,

I love your signature. My favorite line in "Forty-Six & 2." I especially love the line "Listen to my muscle memory."

It's awesome.

Damnit,

you changed it. My last post seems very stupid now.

heh heh. Sorry. I thought a Tool Av and a Tool sig would be overkill. Just chalk it up to me being a newbie.

It doesn't matter.

Welcome! Newbie.

I thought I had it bad... 8 teeth removed, one session of general anesthetic, headgear, t-bar... i hated getting braces tightened...

i had my revenge, however. when they wanted me to wear those stupid elastics that made me look like something out of the "thriller" video i flat out refused. i found ways to get rid of them despite parental inspections in the morning and when i got back from school. i actually saw my chart the last time i was in there and for a good six months there are progressively angrier entries about how i'm not wearing my elastics.

at one point in bright red pen someone scrawled in a shaky hand: STILL NOT WEARING G.D. ELASTICS. no joke.

i still got my braces off on time, although i think they saddled me with the permanent retainer as a reprisal against my elastics rebellion.

oh, and two penny, what i tell the boys who want my avatar is: if you can make your dick two-dimensional, then be my guest.

but....... i'm not doing that to, you know..... IT.
i think the worst thing about wisdom teeth being pulled for me was the swelling. the stitches came out when i brushed my teeth like a week later.. i found new love for mashed potatoes and pudding. what's bad, but not painful, are those goddamn root canals. there's no escaping the grinding away of your tooth enamel and the taste that's provided from your tooth shavings and dug out root. its sooooooooooo effing tasty.

I can´t be bothered to write so just take the army out, only 2 shot in upper gum, one tooth out and instead of class. 1 drugs
I got antibiotics. Plus 1 sort of antibio gives me diarhea ( I wont even start with that word...) so I got these pills that makes shit harder, never used anyway. Wasn´t this antibio.

Rest of the UnbelieverDjaks story was the same as mine.

Several days after having my wisdom teeth removed, I had a sneezing attack. Because my jaw was still a wee bit tender, I didn't go for the full-volume "Ahh-choo!"... I opted for the more muted variety, the kind where you kind of supress the whole thing, keep your mouth closed and make that odd sneezy noise through your nose.

Bad idea.

Apparently the roots to your wisdom teeth run vey, very deep... So deep, in fact, that there can only be millimeters of soft tissue separating that pit that your molar used to be in and your sinuses.

I built up enough pressure in my mouth to blow out that thin membrane. It didn't hurt. In fact, I didn't even know I had done it until after I ate my next meal.

I would gargle with warm salt water to try to remove any food particles that lodged themselves in those pits and, well... I had salt water running out of my nose.

Fun.

I had my wisdom teeth out and a week later I wake up at 1am and realize I'm swallowing something repeatedly. I almost go back to sleep but instead go to the sink and spit. Blood. "Great," I thought, and go to the Emergency Room.
Joe Tech is there and decides to peer down my throat with a popsicle stick and a penlight. He hits my gag reflex and I vomit close to a pint of blood all over his neck, arms, and jacket. He's covered in blood staying very still (I think he was in shock). I just giggle.
My liquid delivery caused the stitch in my throat to open up a lot more, and now blood is poring down my throat. My next hour is spent with one doc cauterizing the whole shut, a nurse tech trying to find a vein in one arm thru trial-and-error, and some nurse giving me shots in my other arm. I was the center of attention and all I had to do was lay there.
I ended up leaving at 6am. They kept me under observation for an hour and considered having me stay overnight b/c of the amount of blood I lost. The blood had gotten all crusty on my chin and shirt, and everyone that would walk by my room would have this wonderful look of horror. Now I know the prejudices vampires feel.
I drove myself home.

I never thought a thread about teeth would exceed my original post. This is awesome.

It´s a sad world.

byron, you should write abook and use that. that rocks... sorry you had to go through it though. i bet it was pretty self amusing when it was all over. hahahaha

I thought I'd revive some of these pleasant posts. I just got these four babies out yesterday and seem to be taking it better than I thought I would, but that's probably because I'm taking Vicoden every four hours on the hour. I mean, I can barely open my mouth wide enough to get an ice chip in there, but I have that awesome flushed out feeling you get sometimes when you've been sick and haven't really been eating much in the way of solids. Soon I will eat easy mac.

All in all, .

Strange story. I had my wisdom teeth removed my first year of teaching. I was having a particularly rough year getting the job and student discipline down, and so I had the dentist give me them in an airtight bag. So ever since then, even though I have a breeze teaching now, I carry them with me every day I teach, as a reminder that no matter what a student says or does, it's not as bad as having your teeth yanked out of your head.

Share a teeth story, please. Frog teeth semiotics.

[QUOTE=owenwarland]Share a teeth story, please. Frog teeth semiotics.[/QUOTE]

I chipped teeth twice while in drunken blackouts. the frog semiotic is the Prince has to get sober before anyone will kiss him.

My brother broke his left front tooth in half horizontally, trying to take a vertical run up this giant rock in the front yard of our childhood home. The dentist replaced it with a post, but the thing would always come loose when he was younger, and he used to freak people out by pulling it out. Alas, a female friend in high school had the same thing with her front teeth. I found this an odd coincidence.

Removal wisdom teeth at modern level is one of extreme methods of treatment when the tooth cannot be restored, or it injures a nerve and causes damages to a mucous membrane of cheeks, language and stirs to a normal bite.

needs to be made only as a last resort when other methods to rescue a tooth are already impossible or such tooth can be the reason of other, more terrible complications. For example, if there are the teeth, which can cause cysts, inflammations of a trigeminal nerve. Such teeth is better for removing.

The most frequent reason of removal wisdom teeth is a necessity of sanitation of an oral cavity in the presence of such diseases, as a chronic periodontitis in an aggravation stage when it is impossible to liquidate the inflammatory centre at a tooth top. Therefore treatment of a periodontitis should be timely. A multiroot teeth which are the osteomyelitis reason also leave. The stomatologist can remove a teeth at adjustment of a demountable artificial limb, but for this purpose there should be more strict indications.

The reasons of removal of a teeth are various. Candidates on removal are teeth strongly destroyed by caries which cannot be restored other methods.

- The teeth amazed with illness at started cases teeth start to be loosened.
- The broken teeth which cannot be restored.
- Incorrectly located teeth in a tooth number.

If it is impossible to restore such teeth conservative methods of treatment the stomatologist resorts to removal. After removal of a teeth in a jaw defects are formed, and an adjoining teeth starts to bend towards the formed defect. The Tooth-antagonist from an opposite jaw starts to be put forward towards defect. It is all can occur even at removal of one tooth. These phenomena lead to that chewing process is broken, chewing loading in respective area sharply raises. The habitual condition of jaws is broken and bite deformation develops. And it can strongly be reflected in the general condition wisdom teeth.

You have got to be kidding me.
