Wisdom Tooth

[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 es as long as I possibly can.

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.

I had one of mine out last year.

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

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?

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.

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.

Would I feel any pain or anything?

He is.

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.

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!
