Wisdom Tooth

[midgetonadonkey]

Mine is coming out. I can see it. Do I need to have it taken out? If so, can it wait until September?

[Sunshine]

Does it hurt? If not, you don't need to have it pulled.

I have all four of mine...although I don't think I have THAT much wisdom.

[Shelly]

I have all of mine too. But I had 4 teeth pulled for braces, so that's probably why.

[E20]

Here is some conventional wisdom, rub some shit or skeet on it and the pain will go away.

[midgetonadonkey]

The gums just hurt because it's coming out but it's not bad.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Just make sure to keep it medicated with whiskey and you'll be fine.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

How old are you reverend? Don't those usually come out when you're in your late teens? I thought you were a 30-something.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

I didn't get mine pulled until I was 28.

[midgetonadonkey]

I'm 27 or 28. One of those.

[midgetonadonkey]

I'm 28.

[tlongII]

I have all 4 of my wisdom teeth. I'm either very smart or I have a big-ass mouth.

[Shelly]

I had all my wisdom teeth by 17. They didn't help me do well on my finals that year, though.

My 12 year old has only lost 8 teeth with none loose or trying to come in. Weird.

[marini martini]

Get a teething ring or two. Keep one in the freezer, and rotate.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

3 of my 4 surfaced when I was around 19. One never did.

I had the 3 erupted ones pulled about a year and a half ago. It's not a fun experience. If yours doesn't bother you I'd pass on getting it removed.

[midgetonadonkey]

:tu

[LaMarcus Bryant]

I got my bottoms by 18 they weren't entirely out and the top ones were just starting to break the gumline

i got them removed and enjoyed the painkillers.

[inconvertible]

its easy, but you turn into a fool shortly after.

[mrsmaalox]

Cocaine is much more effective.

[leemajors]

the longer you wait, the more the roots will wrap around your other teeth's roots, and the more painful it will be to have them removed later. having teeth shattered in your gums and the dentist digging for the pieces is not fun. i had mine done outpatient when i was 16, and i was given tylenol and drove home.

[peewee's lovechild]

I still have two remaining, and I remain a smart mofo.

So, get rid of two and keep two that way you don't loss you smartness.

Huh? I Worked for Dentists & I swear, I've never heard of that!

Not saying it ain't so, as I had to go to the Hospital & have mine removed, cuz I had a cist under one of mine :sleep

Yea for drugs :dizzy

[dickface]

get it done sooner rather than later. and enjoy the vicodin.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

as long as you treat them better than your zits, you'll be alright.

[peewee's lovechild]

as long as you treat them better than your tits, you'll be alright.

This is very true, they have been quite flabby and misshapen as of late.

[peewee's lovechild]

Does it hurt? If not, you don't need to have it pulled.

I liked it better when you had a picture of you as your avatar.

Now there's nothing nice to look at, and this makes me sad.

[CuckingFunt]

I still have all four of mine. Two are impacted.

Dentist told me that I should probably have them removed at some point, but that I have a huge enough mouth that I don't have to worry about crowding or anything like that. I fully intend to ignore them bitches as long as I possibly can.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

i'm sorry for every bad thing i ever told you.

:lmao

I had one of mine out last year. :lol

It depends. If the tooth is not pushing into the root of your 2nd molar, and you can floss the area to keep the bacteria count down, then you can wait til Sept. If the tooth is into the root of 2nd molar, then sometimes the root gets decayed and you end up losing the 2nd molar too.

How do I know if it's pushing the root of my 2nd molar?

[leemajors]

you can always start rubbing meth or coke into the gums of that area, and your teeth will start falling out on their own!

:) My bad. Wrong language in my post. I meant that for most folks their wisdom teeth grow out (erupt) in their teens and early 20's. I rarely hear of a 30-something who first gets their wisdom teeth at that point.

Memo to self to learn to articulate better.

[ploto]

You need to talk your dentist. Just because they do not hurt does not mean they are not a problem. They are sometimes pushing at funny angles or they are not in far enough to really take proper care of them, and problems develop. Just get them out and be done with it.

It's not that easy. I don't have dental insurance, I declined it when I was offered insurance with my workplace. I can't sign up for it until September and do not wish to pay for it out of pocket.

radiographs

[midgetonadonkey]

Would I feel any pain or anything?

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

He is.

[ORION]

get little tiny sticks of dynamite and put them around the tooth. make sure to hide behind some sand bags then blow it up or you could hire a really small suicide bomber to run into your mouth and blow himself up.

[ashbeeigh]

you could always do a research study to cover the bills. One of my friends got hers taken out through Syrex and said it went well.

Its going to be like that one seinfeld episode when he comes to and the dentist was zipping up his pants

The first indication of anything going wrong is an itchy rectum.

I have one impacted and it's been playing up of late. The other three are dead straight and not a problem. The dentist suggested that I get them all out, but I don't see why. I think I'll just have the impacted one out, and leave 3/4 of my limited wisdom intact! :lol
