The dentist and my orthodontist both told me. They don't see any teeth "coming up" from my gums, or evidence of any teeth being there. So, they said I won't have them, which is *always* good!

Nope, they don't start coming up until I get older, if I were to have them. But, they can still see teeth that haven't come up yet when they take X-Rays.

Yeah, they can tell with x-rays..they're in there lol. My friend is the same, but she only has 2 wisdom teeth.

I have had four teeth pulled, but not at the same time. Two were wisdom teeth. My dentist said I only had two wisdom teeth.

I won't say it didn't hurt, but I would rather have a tooth pulled than have a root canal.

I had my wisdom teeth pulled out several years ago. The first time I had two pulled out. They put me out and when I woke up they were gone. The same with the second pair of wisdom teeth. No surgery gowns. Just went to his office, put some earphones on and went to sleep listen to Alabama singing. LOL. Went home with some pills to help with the pain. No problems.

I had another tooth pulled about five years ago, and it had broken because I was supposed to have it capped after a root canal. I had heard that was suppose to be bad. No problem there either. The first time, they put me on the gas. I didn't care what they done...LOL. I put off the cap and ended up breaking the tooth and having to have it pulled. Again they gave me gas, didn't hurt at all. Ahhh the powers of getting knocked out and the powers of the gas.......

I have to get my 3 widsom teeth pulled out soon.. not sure when... I'm freaked about it.. but yet, I still have to do it.. I'll just listen to music... til' I fall asleep.. LOL

I got my 3 wisdom teeth pulled at once. I was in and out of it for the most part, I do remember the freezing was wearing off a few times. Just let your dentist know when you start feeling what's going on and you should be ok.

I couldn't eat hard food for a few days, but overall it wasn't so bad, no bad swelling or bruising. I feel 110% better since I had them taken out! I used to get killer headaches and mouthaches when they were still there.

I had all 4 wisdom teeth pulled out. They put me under and extracted them. No gowns or anything. Just a bib like the dentist.

I had a very swollen and bruised face for a week and a lot of pain. But I am a wuss! I have lttle to no tolerance for pain.

[ramanth]

I've had lots of teeth pulled. It wasn't so bad as far as I can remember because it was done many many years ago.

Sorry I can't be of more help.

(To be honest, I hated the needle used to numb the gums more than the actual pulling)
