i remember eating ice cream that afternoon and trying to drink sprite or something, and it dribbling all over my chin and shirt (i think it's one of the pictures of me from my wisdom teeth thread) - also the doctor told me i had to sit down to pee for a day or two or i could pass out and crack my face open. fun fun.

I went to the dentist this morning - before 8am for some ungodly reason, and they told me I have to have 4 wisdom teeth out or they'll go nasty.
Im booked in for Thursday at 745am - I;m really quite nervous, but looking forward to the drugs, so.../

mine weren't even through the skin when i got them out. no pain once the local wore off. business as usual the next day.

Never had them. I also have almost no fur.
Either I come from the future or I should never have left kindergarten. (This statement is a redundancy.)
- mine are non-existent as well... i am thinking it is the second one for me.nicole_marie

i had mine out this year. it wasn't as bad as i expected.
the worst part about it all was the fragments of bone/tooth that came out of my gums afterwards.
oh yeah, and i puked blood on the car ride home. that was fun.

I consume excessive quantities of crystalline fructose and smoke methamphetamines so my wisdom teeth will rot away before they become a problem.

***update***
OK, so I went and had it done yesterday morning..
The assisting nurse wired me up to the eky, pulsOx, etc - it started to go 'bee....bee.....beee.' - I said 'oh, thats me doing the beep sound then, isnt it ?', she said 'sure is', so I said 'ok, lets slow that down then', and it instantly dropped about 15bpm, to her surprise...
So then she took about 1/2 hour to find a proper vein and get my line in, at which point the dentist came in, said hi, and we started chatting -he asks me a question, and as Im answering I suddenly have a problem streaming the real world in real time - over the course of 2 minutes, I brokenly tell him 'ah - you've started doing the thing there, haven't you ?', meaning the iv anesthetic, and he doesnt answer, I just get the buffering motif for a few seconds, then the next thing I know, I'm getting up and sitting into a wheelchair.
No pain, nice druggy feeling - fun chats and laughter with the staff.
Came home, began taking percocet and generally becoming dizzy, sleepy and intolerably wise about everything on tv. Woke this morning with bloody taste in mouth but no swelling, and no pain.
Good job, overall.

Got mine out (4 of them) a couple of years ago. Lost 10lbs after eating only apple puree for 2 weeks.
Still remember that disguting blood taste I had in my mouth each morning.
Fun.

Mine just grew pretty normally, I had no idea most people had problems with these until a few years ago. Someone in a conversation said I'd have to get them removed, I was pretty sure they were putting me on.
