  Pray your mouth is big enough to accommodate them.

  We can cry together. Mine are coming in, but my bottom two might have to get pulled. :T_T:

  My mom doesn't know much about wisdom teeth, I'll go see my dentist sometime ;____________;
  
  I HOPE MY JAW IS WIDE ENOUGH FOR THEM?? My piano teacher had to have 8 teeth pulled when her wisdom teeth grew out. They were like, well you have a small mouth. You might as well have extra teeth removed.

  I got all 4 taken out at once. Tough, but I'd rather experience it once than multiple times.

  My wisdom tooth experience:
  
  Walk in door
  Sit on chair
  See a needle poking in my arm
  Told to count to 10
  1
  2
  3
  4
  Wake up in my bedroom a few hours later
  
  But the following week was awful. Stitches don't really prevent bleeding afterall. I was bleeding for like a good day afterwards and it hurt and I couldn't eat anything for days.

  
  
  LOL. That's pretty much exactly what happened to me, including the aftermath.

  Lol I didn't even have anesthesia during my surgery. They just gave me a numbing agent and 2 advils.
  
  I was like lol, I'm figuring out how the whole procedure is done <3
  
  Except with pain.

  
  
  For me they shot 2-3 shots of novicane into the roof of my mouth. I didn't feel pain per say but my eyes teared up like crazy when they did it. The pain wasn't too bad. During the procedure I could feel the pressure of it being pulled. NOt really painful. The bleeding was the worst part of the deal. Getting it to stop bleeding was a *****. It bled for an entire day before it finally stopped.
  
  That was just one of my wisdom teeth. Still have like 2 or 3 left to do. I have no intention of getting the other pulled anytime soon. **** that ****.

  WTF... lmfao.
  I had to remove 5 adult teeth because I had even more adult teeth that was going to grow under it (I have infinite teeth hax). What they did to me is inject so many needles into my mouth so I wouldn't feel the pain (which I totally did) and they yanked my teeth off and put stitches in my mouth... Oh, and now that I have wisdom teeth, I might have to go through that bs again. The last time I went, the dentist said that I had teeth growing under my normal teeth again and that I might have to remove it. It was either 100$ or 200$ per tooth. fml
  
  I.WAS.AWAKE.THE.WHOLE.TIME.

  That sounds more like a ****ing scam to me. $100 per tooth. What kind of bull**** is this?!

  I had my tooth pulled.
  The only interesting thing they made me do was sign a release form in case the anesthesia malfunctioned and something went terribly wrong. That made me think for a second.
  
  Otherwise i counted backwards from 5 and woke up when they was wheeling me to a rest area.
  
  Didn't even hurt afterwards. I took 2 Vicodin pills, and that was mostly to feel the effects, lol.

  Guess I'm one of the very lucky few who both doesn't need to pull out their wisdom teeth and have incredibly resistant enamel. :oops:

  I had no choice. Those 5 extra teeth were not even wisdom teeth xD. At least, if I ever get knocked out and my teeth falls off, I can just spawn some new teeth 8D. Also, when I first got examined, the dentist called all the staff to look at my xrays and they were all in awe xD.
  
  EDIT: WTF. My mom confirmed that it costed 400$ per tooth.

  ...
  
  $400 per tooth?!
  
  That's a bloody rip-off right there.
  
  They really shouldn't be allowed to charge that much for something that endagers your health. But, that's the medical profession for ya.

  I feel bad having to spend 2000$ on removing my teeth and it may have to happen again, not to mention that I also have to remove my wisdom teeth (maybe).
• Zeo wrote on 2011-12-17 01:06
  ....I'm kinda lucky I only have 2 wisdom teeths on me, not 4, so if they grew in a weird way... I'd only need two of them removed. >:
  
  Sorry to hear what happened to their daughter though.
