ok, the tonsil thread sparked an idea...
how many still have wisdom teeth?
how many still have wisdom teeth?
Definately no answer for "I have had 6 removed"Originally Posted by DixieDarlin256
I'm not sure how to answer this
When I was 20 I had all 4 pulled at once. Then last year when I went to have my top teeth pulled they did xrays and I have a 2nd set coming in. I thought maybe they pulled molars... Nope, 2 sets of wisdom teeth! Had 2 of them pulled last year and have 2 more to be pulled....Figures, I would be a freak of nature

Mine were removed when I was 18. It was pretty fun, of course having an IV of Valium will often give you that impression.
i guess it'd be that you've had them ALL removed. i didn't think of having more than one set. i thought of having none to remove, because my mom, dad, sister & i fit in that category - we're pretty rare, but not as rare as you are!Originally Posted by DixieDarlin256

I actually had all my top teeth removed because of a car accident last year... THAT was fun!Originally Posted by laureen227

I would post pics of mine but it would probably scare people... Although that's pretty bad for just wisdom teeth removedOriginally Posted by sarahp
Before wisdom teeth:
Post op:
My face kind of exploded....I reckon I started coming out of the general, so the doc punched me a few times to knock me out again.... heh.
Not sure if he had to dig around - one tooth that he removed was broken. I did ice and take pain killers and antibiotics, not not specific anti-inflammatories. I don't think I iced well enough though, I should have used a pack of frozen peas rather than the ice pack I had.Originally Posted by Kuuyku
Wow, did he have to dig around for root pieces? I've only had 1 patient with such extensive swelling. Did you ice and take anti-inflamatories? How many days has it been since the actual operation? Did you incur any nerve irritation? Sorry, I am just curious.
