So I went to the dentist the about a month ago and he informs me, as they have informed every year for the past 6 years, that I will indeed need to get my wisdome teeth taken out. Now, normally I ignore this advice, but for some reason (momentary lapse of reason, drunk as hell) I decided it was time to do something and I made the necessary arrangements to get things taken care of. Living in Japan and being on some expat insurance plan that doesn't cover dental means that I have to pay the full cost of the surgery. I finally found a University hospital where they will only charge me 300 dollars per tooth. Yay! In America I heard they put you to sleep take all four of em out, and your fine in a week or two. In Japan they take em out one at a time while you're wide awake, it's a lot of fun sitting in the chair listening to your teeth crack as the dentist takes what looks like heavy construction tools and destroys your tooth with it. He took it out in 7 pieces. Kind of a shame it had to go, I think it was my biggest and strongest tooth.

After an hour they finished with my right bottom molar. Upon completion I was informed that there may have been some nerve damage and I would experience a funny tingle in my lip for a week or a month, or possibly forever! They then gave me 5 doses of a painkiller called loxinin. Lets think about this, 5 doses at 3 doses a day. That gives me a day and a half of pain free existence. That's not enough. Are Japanese people impervious to pain? I felt like I was going to die after I ran out of painkillers and had to make an emergency run to a dentist in my area just for a prescription to get more drugs. Have you seen "Minority Report?" Remember that underground doctor he goes to get his eyes changed? Yeah, that's exactly what this dentist's office was like only dirtier.

Anyway, I'm at the two week mark and it's finally getting better. I have a gigantic hole where the tooth and gum used to be and rice gets stuck in there and I can't get it out because it's like a fucking vacuum and I have to ram my toothbrush in there to get it out which just causes more bleeding and pain and the hole won't go away for another 4 months!!!(run-on sentence, my apologies). The moral of the story is that wisdom teeth suck and if you're getting older and haven't had them removed and they keep telling you to get them removed don't do it. For the love of God don't do it. If you are young and the roots aren't fully formed and they tell you to get them out do it while you can, it will save you a lot of pain and suffering when you're older and you're not on your parents insurance plan.

I had mine out when I was 16. Had the general anaesthetic, had a lovely sleep, woke up with 4 less teeth in my mouth. They had to put me under though because my teeth hadn't come through yet so they had to cut them out. Mmmmm, lovely!

I lived on mushed up bananas for a week though. The best part was the dissolving stitches they put across my gums. As they started to disintegrate I could pull them out and give them to people - "want a stitch?"

Made me laugh.

Couldn't give you a higher ranking though, it really pisses me off when people say "your" instead of "you're".

I've not been to a dentist in four years 'cos i had a bad experience. dental lignacaine (fuck my spelling) doesn't work on me. i told my dentist that my gum had not numbed and he proceeded to pull out my two teeth anyway. without anaesthetic. then shouted at my when i nearly fell over 'cos i was about to faint.

Mine rocked! Only had 2 uppers & I still got one of 'em (I have a very large mouth, according to my orthodontist...feel free to make whatever big mouth/oral sex jokes you like). When I had the one taken out, I was wide awake & even had to HELP them get it out. Turns out the sucker had 4 roots, and one of them was actually curved so it was securing it into my gums like a fishhook. Dentist is pulling the tooth one way, I'm yanking my head the other way as hard as I can, until finally with a mighty CRACK the thing popped out. A couple hours later, I was at home eating a pizza. No pain. What's all the fuss about?

My wisdom teeth just slotted nicely into place so I have no idea what all the fuss is about.

I got an infection from my wisdom teeth on 9/11 so I got to go home while the rest of my classmates shit themselves.

I was awake while having all of mine taken out. The assistant was holding the long tube for sucking up fluid right over my face for about five minutes. At that point, there was a loud cracking noise, then the tube turned all red. I fucking HATE the dentist...

Oh, man... I knew there was a reason I kept mine in. Mine hurt like a bitch, though. About once a month I can barely open my mouth my jaw hurts so bad. Bad news for the boyfriend ifyouknowwhatimeanwinkwinknudgenudge.

Oh man, I'm sorry for you Siren. But if you get em all done at once you should be OK, unless of course they don't really hurt and that's just a convenient excuse...
