Poll: Where are YOUR wisdom teeth?

[cheftacular]

I had my top two removed, and to prevent a witch doctor from voodoo-ing me to death, I keep them in a metal box in my tshirts drawer.

 

[Lineoutt]

My top ones will most likely never grow in and my bottom ones are fine

 

[Dags90]

They're growing in without any major incident or impacting, the top ones are done and the bottom ones are almost there.

 

[LamborghiniJackson]

They're in my dentist's trophy case.

 

[Necrofudge]

Either in my mouth, or in a shipping crate headed for the Canary Islands. I'm not really up to date with my own dental history.

 

[Mimssy]

I had all 3 of mine removed. My bottom right was never there to begin with. I'd like to think that they are in happy tooth heaven (even the one that they sawed in half before removal- that was a fun noise to hear). They never had a chance to erupt. Surgically removed. Got to be awake and very alert for that.

 

[Shockolate]

I had all four removed.

Unfortunately, I got painkillers that actually killed pain and didn't make me all loopy or "High".

It sounded like an interesting experience and I was dissapointed.

In my head and causing no problems.

Meh, I've had two surgeries, one on my knee and my wisdom teeth. It's not like the "David After Dentist" thing where you can't tell what's going on or what is real or fake, just more of a dazed state where it's harder to walk and stay balanced. I would assume it's closer to being drunk than high (never been either). Although that may be because I'm a tall guy and it doesn't effect me as much, if so I too am dissapointed at the missed chance to feel loopy and high.

So as best I can tell, pain and agony with getting your wisdom teeth removed is about 50/50. Basically whether or not your dentist is a sadist.

My wisdom teeth were not removed, rather willed into my brain so that they could add to the awesome potential of my collective wisdom. Thanks to them, I now know how to shoot laser beams out of my eyes.

All of mine are still in; they grew straight. Story of my life, though (dentally speaking, at least): strong teeth, weak gums. The area of my lower mouth where those puppies are is where there's the worst risk of my developing gum inflammation, and they're a bear to clean.

 

[Holyeskimo]

I had mine removed. But your thread title has me wondering where they actually are now. Some landfill somewhere? Hmmm...

Says on here(go to potential uses) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wisdom_tooth that in japan they were able to extract stem cells from wisdom teeth. so your's maybe the ones that cure some kind of horrible disease, or a new way for some kind of retard plastic surgery, lets hope for the former.

They hiding from me, but based on what happened to my sister i kind of hope they stay up there.

 

[AvsJoe]

My wisdom teeth are still connected to my shinbone (via several other bones). No problems whatsoever (that I know of).

 

[razbuten363]

Somewhere in my room, I kept them afterwords to put on a necklace (or so I am told. I was coming down from the anesthetics still). They're in a bag, so don't worry.

:edit: found them

 

[Firoth]

I only have 2 on top but they haven't grown in yet. From the radiographs I've had, they appear to be positioned normally, and will grow in without issue.

 

[Avelestar]

Was told after I got my bracers off I would need to have the teeth pulled eventually, as they are growing in at angles (pointing towards my tongue if you can picture it) and will mess everything up. That was maybe....5 years ago? Still nothing, might get lucky...probably not though.

 

[BoxCutter]

All of mine were removed, and the wounds got infected shortly after. Fun times.

 

[Nihlex]

I'm getting all 4 of mine taken out day after tomorrow. This thread is making me scared . Someone lie to me and tell me it will be all puppies and sunshine.

It's actually quite easy, go in and get put under (that's how mine was done and most in current days I think), wake up, given vicodine for pain. That's it. You will feel some pain for a day or two, you will have puffy cheeks for 2-3 days and your jaw won't be able to fully open for 5-7 days, so say goodbye to pizza (or if you're a vegetarian apples ).

Also, there will be puppies... but no sunshine. MWAHAHAHA

I find that offensive! I'm a vegetarian! (just kidding of course) I do eat cheese pizza though thank you very much.

I'm guessing they either dont exist, are perfectly fine, or are in my mouth hiding. I haven't looked really.

 

[-Samurai-]

Mine are fine and if I take care of them(they're the hardest teeth to keep clean) I get to keep them. I already had to get a filling done on one. I might decide get them removed just to prevent any future complications.

They that when you get your wisdom teeth, your life is half over. That means I only have a few years left, as I got mine very very early.

 

[superbatranger]

I still have all of mine, but they've caused no problems yet. Oh, and they're still in the process of coming out of the gums for the most part.
