    Not wisdom teeth, but teeth related:
    I still have 2 baby teeth. Bottom front pair.
    Turns out that there isn't any adult teeth growing underneath so my baby teach grew longer roots, so they should last till I'm about 25-30.
    Then I gotta get fakes...

    Top wisdom teeth are easily removed compared to the bottom ones. The bottom ones sit above the root canal whch makes it much trickier (and painful). The bottom ones have to be sliced to be removed, the top ones come straight out.

    I had my top ones out a few years ago, local anesthetic and they were pulled out and I walked home in 30 mins from the local dentist. I was fine to eat the next day.

    The bottom ones I had out in May last year... local anesthetic 30 mins of tugging and sewing later it was done - it really wasn't that bad at all, screw the $250 general anesthetic and waiting in the hospital etc... It hurt pretty bad that night and the pain killers did NOTHING! There were about 3 more days of puffing up and down then it went away and all was well...

    Well almost...

    $2300!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now THAT Hurt!
    Which brings us to where we are today...

    I must say I didn't even notice my Wisdom teeth coming through. One day iw as at the dentist (when I was about 25 or so) and I asked him if they had and he said "Yep."

    Sweet though I, I am wise now. With a big mouth full of teeth.

    The wife on the other hand has had all sorts of troubles, She had to go to hospital for the last one. I am glad she did, coz if she had them done in the chair it would have cost me an arm and a leg (plus a tooth or two) but since it was a day trip hospital visit the insurance covered it.


    Strange and confusing thing insurance.....

    Quality over quantity my friend.

    It hurt like all buggery when my wisdom teeth came out... sideways (-_-) Unfortunately they run close to a nerve so the dentist doesn't want to extract it in case they touch the nerve and I lose feeling to half my face. So I just gotta try and keep them clean, which is bloody hard because they're at a freakin' stupid angle. Sometimes a lot of crap gets caught in them and I get gum infections, then it's off to the GP to get a script for a course of anti-biotics. (T_T)

    But yeah... during the time they came out I was staying with a post-grad student from Germany; she fed me baby-food. Never realised baby food tasted so bad.

    Open up for the airplane! It's interesting hearing all of your stories, suddenly mine doesn't seem quite so bad.
