I woke up while having my wisdom teeth removed.

I remember my head being jerked, hearing a really loud crunch, groaning, and then the dentist said "oh shit.."

I presumed they then turned up the anesthesia and knocked me back out. 


My hand shook when I read that.

I save my serious dentistry work for when I have FSA dollars left at the end of the year.  It's an incentive to keep solid records and not waste pre-tax dollars…


I didn't feel a thing.  Was so numbed up and out of it.  Thankfully.

This was a long time back, and I remember being told there were two ways to remove wisdom teeth:  They either cut them out, real surgical like, or they cut into your gums just enough to grab the tooth and crush it, then just pick the pieces out.  Beforehand, I never asked my dentist which method he was using on me; but I still found out.  That was the worst part of it.

All the awesome drugs for days was the best part.
my wisdom teeth extraction was HORRIBLE..they only did one side.. then i was supposed to go back and do the other side but i refuse..

i had laughing gas i think.. but i wasn't laughing….

my dentist has given up trying to convince me to get the wisdom teeth on the other side taken out

Why does the dentist have to be a man?  Mine is a woman. 
Fair enough. I should check my privilege.
