i wish my experience had been like that! unfortunately the numbness in my mouth wore off by the time i got home, and when i took the percocet (sp?) they gave me, i reacted badly to it and threw up. since i couldn't keep food or pain killers down, it was not a good situation.

I still have mine, and two baby teeth to boot. My disdain for dentists knows no boundaries.

When i had my wisdom teeth pulled out, all the dentist gave me was novacaine…and he sang along with a Temptations cd while he worked. I got sent home with tylenol.

I totally missed out on all the "fun" of having one's wisdom teeth pulled out.

I've got all four of mine still, in various stages of emergence from the gum, but they are soon to be gone. I've got the surgery to get rid of all four at once lined up for about this time next month. NOT looking forward to it at all.

when i was knocked out for the procedure, i had a wonderful dream that i was ripley from the alien movies, kicking some serious giger creation ass. the doctor thought i was a moron when i told him all about it through drooling laughter.

it's better to look good than to feel good, darling . . . and you look marvelous.

and then he gave you the anesthesia?

I have mine in a little envelope at home. Got 4 out under novicaine. One thing is you swallow blood then puke it up. You will look like a chipmunk for the next couple days and depending on how they took them out all your teeth might be sore. It was cool watching smoke come out my mouth when they drilled though!

You are so right about the swallowing of the blood and puking it up. That was not fun. But other than that it wasn't too bad, I was out during the procedure and then not much pain afterwards.

i love you, you love me, we're the clan of the cave bear family.

i have all four of mine, and i was told it was a 1/100 chance to have them grow in perfectly like that, but by the looks of it, there are more of us out there …

I think I have mentioned this before somewhere but since it has relevance here:
All four of my wisdom teeth got yanked the day after getting my ass whooped in the pit of a Suicidal Tendencies show at the old 9:30 Club. I was a mess. In addition to the attendant damage and facial swelling related to the teeth being removed I had two black eyes and my right eye was swollen shut. I was pretty hopped up on the knock out gas but my mom tells me that the folks in the waiting room were aghast at the sight of me stumbvling out of the operating room.

Got 'em pulled while in college…a month before Thanksgiving, which sucked for Thanksgiving dinner. All four were impacted, which I didn't care about while they were doing the procedure, because the gas was great. Best sleep of my life. But because of the impacting, the guy had to drill a hole in all four of my widom teeth. Then he inserted a metal pin, and began to rock them out using two pairs of dental pliars on either side of the pin. I realized the pain a day later. I remember I had this cool ice pack that wrapped around my head with velcro. And you slid a little gel ice pack in these sleeves on either side of my jaw. Made me look like Jacob Marley from A Christmas Carol. Pain killers were awesome, percodan or percocet (sp?), can't remember. But I still have them, and considering the bastards were bigger than I ever expected, always thought of making them into dice.

When I was a lad we used to pull them out ourselves, or if you were a puff, have big Eddie from Moss Side kick them out for you…..dentist my arse!!!! ;)

Still got em….never gave me a problem. Why do we even have them? Is it from our primate days or are they related to our appendix seeing as that thing has no use either.

Think the original idea was that you would have lost a bunch of teeth by this point in your life so some more in the back to gnaw with coming in later in life would be useful to keep you living longer.

That is all I can guess, maybe the Straight Dope has the straight dope.

Wait until y'all get to be an old man like me andd you have to start getting crowns. That's when the real fun starts.

i have two. i'm old. i like it when that tasting smoke arises from your mouth as they are grinding away at your teeth, and the nurse calls you "honey" way too many times.

FOUR root canals done at the same sitting!!! Not having ever had any before I just told him to go ahead and knock em all out together. I assumed having survived Royal Navy dentists this would be a breeze. Actually, a root canal is more discomfort than pain. I do hate that rubber dam thing they shove in your pie-hole to stop you drowning or whatever it's for. Evidently my time spent as a diver in the Navy 'effd up the old teeth in that way, something to do with constant change of pressure on a regular basis. Either that or the dentist had a boat payment overdue!!!! ;)
