Damn guess they didn’t care about damaging the bones, they usually cut the multi-roots in pieces so it’s a smoother release.

Did they removed all the wisdom teeth the same day? How are you even able to eat? Haha

When I was a kid I came into the dentist's room and apparently before I did so he took out a wisdom tooth from one of his assistant's. They told me it's the tusk of a sabretooth tiger, but the assistant's cheek was still swollen as fuck, so I knew they were lying and ran out to my mom.

If they lie to me before I even sit down, you can bet your ass they'd lie about "If it hurts, just say something and we'll stop"!

We had to switch dentists.

If you want them clean and shiny (and not smelling like rotten meat), soak them in hydrogen peroxide until the blood and tissue dissolves. This usually takes hours to days, depending on the amoint of tissie. To make them white, soak them in 30 strength hair developed for a few days. You'll have super-white, clean teeth to display!

I had 8 wisdom teeth pulled and then another grew in about 10 years later... Got dry socket after the 8 were pulled and reeeeeally don't recommend it!

My oldest daughter was born without wisdom teeth. It's apparently some random mutation.

I'm in the lucky 35% of the population that didn't get wisdom teeth at all.

Saw what several of my friends and my ex went through getting them pulled - no thanks.

I only had two of those present in my collection of teeth. It finally evened out then.

More sense would be like mine where they did 1 side first (left) then the other right. Leaving 1 in on a side doesnt do anything since there is no tooth opposite side of it to help chew food.

I kept mine. I’m currently 34 and they’ve given me no major issues yet. I don’t understand getting major surgery because something might happen. How about do nothing unless that complication happens?

I was also born without wisdom teeth. I had gone to the dentist and was curious if they were going to grow in soon. Doc had just finished my X-Ray before we started the cleaning and she looked at me and said: "Don't worry about it, they're not there."

I was confused, so she swiveled the screen around to me and showed me: "You don't have any wisdom teeth, and you never will." X-Ray had no Wis teeth on it, nor any signs of growth.

I consider myself extremely lucky after hearing different stories about removals.

I got two wisdom teeth removed 2 months ago and they didnt asked me if I wanted to keep them... bummer

That’s so cool you got to keep them! I had 7 taken, 3 wisdom (4th one didn’t grow) and 4 just to make room for movement. Still have my X-rays I find this stuff super interesting

OP might've asked to keep the teeth. I asked if I could keep mine and the surgeon pulled them out whole like this. My sister had the same thing but didn't want them, and the same surgeon chopped hers up for easier extraction.

Dstrap t1_j24z13z wrote

I thought there where a maximum of 4 wisdom tooth.

PhotonWolfsky t1_j251nc2 wrote

How did you get lucky enough to have them whole? Dentist had to take a damn jackhammer to mine and extract like 40000 little pieces after breaking it apart.

Also, 40000 is a joke. Can't be too careful with Mr. Literals on the internet.

I went to high school with a kid who had 8? He said they were genuinely all wisdom teeth and not just extra teeth being removed from crowding. Swelling is usually pretty bad, but his face was literally doubled the normal width

I had 5 pulled all at once. Whenever I tell anyone that I usually get the "you must have extra wisdom" line but clearly I don't anymore as they were all pulled gif

I had 4 wisdom teeth pulled when I was in college (1980's) and about 4 years ago had my 5th wisdom tooth pulled. And then I started getting stupider.

I had 7 removed. Where were the extras? Mine were all on top.

Thunder_gp t1_j261bwq wrote

I will never forgive the orthodontist my family used. I had 1 request. To have them keep my wisdom teeth after they took them out.

And they didn’t. They threw them out the moment they were removed. If I could sue them for emotional damages at the time, I would have. I left the place in anger and my mom at the time was thinking it was the meds that made me angry.

Fuck that place.

You could put them in a solution and keep them in a jar. It's what my wife did with her wisdom teeth

onward- t1_j26vjpj wrote

I also had 6 wisdom teeth! 4 regular and two supernumerary. I vividly remember the anesthesiologist not considering 2 extra teeth would take longer, so my anesthesia dosage was wrong. Woke up during them pulling a tooth out in an incredible amount of pain. It was 14 years ago and I still feel the convulsions and pain if I think about it!

Every time I see a post about wisdom teeth I'm reminded of my horrid experience.

​

Long story short, 4 wisdom teeth 1 on each corner. I only had them numb my mouth. If I remember correctly the right side was fine which happens to be where they started. They did my top left 3rd and it definitely wasn't as numb, but not too bad at all so whatever. 4th tooth, bottom left, felt like it wasn't numbed whatsoever.

​

The amount of force I put into my grip on the arm rests of the chair and how hard I dug into the rests with my elbows to not be shaking was insane. The chair along with my shirt was soaked in sweat from how much pain I was in.

​

They asked if I was okay from my facial expressions and if I could feel it, told them I was fine. I was not fine. I just wanted it to be over since they already started on it and it was the last tooth.

​

Now everything considered... Realistically speaking it's not that bad getting them pulled, but I'm also extremely comfortable when it comes to needles, dental work, etc. If I wasn't a hard ass about wanting them to continue since otherwise it was another 15ish minutes to numb more, it wouldn't have even been too bad.

idk why this is awakening a memory from when I got braces lol

​

I worked at a hot food department at a super store, I got braces and eating was difficult for a few days. I thought I'd be good by this point one shift so I bought a sandwich on a toasted baguette. I literally couldn't bite into the bread hard enough for teeth marks to be pressed in, let alone pulling off pieces.

​

I ended up giving up and just ripping off tiny pieces by hand and swallowing the chunks without chewing.

​

I legit think that trying to bite into this sandwich is like a top 5 in the most painful things I've had to do. #1 would be having a wisdom tooth pulled essentially without any numbing, #2 would be having 2 cavities filled with no anesthetic because I didn't want to go back a week later to do it, and probably the stupidest is #3 from a rollercoaster that I think gave me a mild concussion.

Worth mentioning I'm in Ontario, Canada. Not sure if maybe it's different in different parts of the world but for me and my sister when we've done it, we had 1 of 3 options.

​

I believe it was the numbing thing which I did, I think it's laughing gas which I believe my sister did, and the good ol' knock out.

​

It was progressively more expensive and like I said I'm generally comfortable with all that stuff, so I chose the numbing. The knock out sounded the most fun though going off videos of people post procedure.
