Wisdom Teeth stories

I had braces and they were supposed to help make room for mine to come in so I wouldn't have to get them out, but one came down leaning sideways and occasionally cuts the crap out of the inside of my cheek, but I don't give a fuck because I'm not getting any teeth pulled. I'd let my mouth rot before I'd go to a dentist again tbh.

I got one that happened over the summer last year.

Still don't know why I suddenly started to crying

I fell asleep during mine. Woke up slightly woozy and weakened. Got carted to the door in a wheelchair. Hurt like a bitch for the next couple of days. (On the plus side, I didn't have to work during then, either.)

And ever since then, I have suffered a -4 Wisdom penalty.

(I apologize if this was too boring.)

This topic is very interestingly timed since this Friday I'm taking my dad to the very oral surgeon who pulled my wisdom teeth (dad had his wisdom teeth pulled long ago, what he's going in for is to get a different back tooth pulled on account of the tooth being irreversibly damaged after a fall he had last month).

I got mine pulled during the Christmas break in 2007, when I was in senior year of high school. I remember going under really quickly, and when I woke up later I was pretty groggy. I also remember one other person in the recovery room, also looking pretty out of it. When I was wheeled out to the car after the staff saw I was fine, I suddenly felt sick and was brought to the bushes to puke. I vomited up nothing but blood (my stomach was empty since you're not supposed to eat anything on the day of the wisdom teeth pulling), because I had swallowed a lot of blood during the pulling.

After I got home I took a pain killer and went right to bed, I was still way too out of it to do anything else. I woke up hours later after the sun had gone down, my dad having already gone out to the store to get me ice cream to eat. I ate ice cream, attempted to play some Zack and Wiki (I just got the game for Christmas that year, along with Super Mario Galaxy and the new NiGHTS), and then watched… something, I don't remember, before taking another pain killer and going to bed for the night.

An interesting tale happened in my second years, the last wisdom tooth was left in me and I didn't really know about it until THIS happened to me

I was eating lunch at the canteen and I generally have packed lunches there, so I go to dig in on my crisps…

…when i have eaten the 4th one, i felt it LITERALLY split that tooth in half! I shrieked in pain from it, my mouth began to become a bleeding inferno from the painful bite, but i had to eat the rest of my lunch anyway so I did that (blood is not that tasty people)

Quickly I demanded mom to get an emergency dentist appointment to remove the tooth as it was still in me, indeed I was let out of school early and got to the dentist in a hurry, fortunately that tooth was removed, and i was shocked myself to see it split like it did with just a simple potato chip…

Yep, that's the wisdom tooth story I got

1 grew diagonally and pushed against the tooth in front of it, the other didn't come fully through and became risk of rot. Both pulled.

The remaining 2 are still up there deeply burried in my jaw, might never come through.

All 4 of mine were impacted so the dentist recommended taking them all out in one go. Needless to say they had to put me under for it. I was in the operating room chatting with the anesthesiologist and I mentioned I was studying chemical engineering. As he put the mask over my face he started telling me the chemical structure of the anesthetic and got about a third of the way before I was out.

Now the weird part is that everyone I've talked to (including people in this thread) have said that when they wake up from dental surgery they're still high as fuck and completely out of it. I, on the other hand, was completely lucid within a couple seconds of waking up. I asked the nurse for something to read while I waited and she gave me a funny look, presumably because no one had ever asked for reading material immediately after surgery, and I was able to completely comprehend what I was reading (in fact I still remember what the article was about).

After that things proceeded pretty much as normal. I tried to have some ice cream right after getting home but that was a pretty miserable experience since my mouth was still numb and I couldn't taste anything.
