Getting my Wisdom Teeth Pulled!

[Stryker1992]

I have to get all 4 of my wisdom teeth yanked on Tuesday! Anyone else have their wisdom teeth out? how was it?

Yes, all four, all at once, when I was 17. My experience was very atypical and I'll spare you the details. For the vast majority of people it's pretty straightforward. Just get knocked out and make sure you have a ride home. They'll give you good drugs afterwards. Piece of cake.

Well, uhh, they are called wisdom teeth for a reason

Sorry, couldn't resist. Why are you getting them done now? Most people's wisdom teeth erupt in their late teens to early 20s. If there's something wrong with them, or they'll mess your other teeth up, they usually yank them when they start coming in.

Like I said, my case is different from other people. My wisdoms hadn't even begun to come in, I have tight teeth with very little room in my mouth and the wisdoms were not positioned correctly. It would have been a mess so the teeth were surgically extracted before they even began to come in.

I'm 28 and have not gotten them out. My dentist told me That I only will get 2 and not 4. Just genetics...
Thank god for my genetics in every way, I'm fuggin lucky. Everyone lives really old and everything in my family. No big diseases really, healthy hearts etc.

I was 17 or 18 when I had mine out. 2 had come out already and they had to dig the other 2 out. I got the gas and apparently was hitting on one of the dental assistants when I was loopy. My face didn't swell or bruise, and I didn't have any problems at all. Good luck!

I had mine out when I was 30 face swelled up like I had a mouthful of chessnuts and couldn't move my jaw for 3 days face went black and blue. It all depends on the way your teeth are in the mouth sideways, impacted, straight up and down, under the gum. It is different for each persons.
Not my favorite thing todo though. Right up there with being kicked in the nuts.
