2. I had mine out in my early 30's

Didn't even know I had the damned things, as they grew in as regular molars. Eventually they all cracked, and naturally this was during the time that I didn't have any dental coverage. I'll never experience childbirth obviously, but I'd put that pain in at a close second.

Suppressed it with massive doses of ibuprofen for years. Then they got infected and no other option was available except to have them yanked. I was in shock when the dentist told me they were wisdom teeth.

3. When I had mine out, it was perhaps one of the "highest"

weeks I ever had...

Percodan is a many splendored thing.

6. I had mine out at 42

NOT recommended, especially since I got an infection.

I lived on pureed soups, hot cereal, and fruit yogurt shakes for two weeks.

Oh, and about half my lower lip was numb for years.

7. yes, both bottom backs

both were impacted. one was infected also, that one hurt like the devil afterwards too. had them out in my 20's, about 30 years ago. back then, afaik, they weren't advising their removal in your teens, now it seems they do. my top have never bothered me, and are still there.

we won't even talk about dry socket :eyes:

8. One of mine just broke in two the other night...

No pain...

My kind of dental plan...

10. Left upper and lower wisdom teeth extracted

about 2/3 of my life ago. Hurt so much I avoided going back to have the right side pulled, soooo, those front-slanting impacted teeth were pushing all my teeth around a bit to the left.
I did have them pulled eventually; should have got all four out at once!
