Do You Have Your 'Wisdom Teeth' Still?

[neko1]

I only had 3 wisdom teeth (it runs in the family...).

I had them out a couple of years ago, at the dentists office, just with novacaine..

First one I had pulled, no problems afterward.

The other 2 I had done at the same time (they were partially impacted). I was in such pain for the 2 weeks after, it was horrible.

but I'm glad it's over with and I'm actually off to the dentist next week for another root canal!!! I can't wait for it though, because I'm in such pain now..

Mine are gone. I only had the lower ones and they were impacted. They xrayed up to my eye sockets and there were none on top. Good for me! I had the surgery when I was 19 (I think). That was a LONG time ago!

My daughter, Helen, had hers out at 15. She only had 3, but the orthodontist wanted them out right away because they were headed the wrong way (impacted).

I think they are doing the surgery earlier and earlier these days to avoid problems that pop up later.

Good luck Kelly.
