I knew I should have gotten them taken out ages ago.

Dentist back in the day told me if they had room to grow and enough room to brush back there I could keep them. That didn't work out. Went to this new dentist about 7 months ago for a cleaning and told them I wanted to have them all removed and they were fuggin reluctant because "if they damage some nerve back there, I could lose sensation in that side of my face" or something like that. Now I have 3/4 of a tooth and can't see them 'til next Tuesday. No pain though, that's a surprise.

You guys still have your wisdom teeth? I suggest you get them out when they grow in, save yourself the trouble of dealing with them later on and the potential for pain.

I don't have my right upper one, never formed, so between my knocked out front tooth and that, I've got room up there for the left one.
Bottom right's starting to come in, left one show no intention of doing so. I'm kind of hoping this thing just chills where it is and doesn't give me any issues.

I have a wisdom tooth growing now

I r scared as hell

I don't think mine have grown in yet, I can't tell

I see you lucky bastards don't have much issue with them growing in. But even if they do, there's usually not much room to maneuver a toothbrush back there and food often gets stuck between the back of the third molar and your gums and cause plaque build up. This is what happened to me, it got so weak that it just broke apart while I was eating. Now I'm too scared to eat crunchy foods.

Eat an apple

I'll just stick to mashed potatoes until I get them all out.

I've got other problems than my wisdom teeth right now...

Dentists fucked up a tooth removal for my braces, so if they don't close the gap I'mma need facial surgery to get it out.

*sigh*

Holy shit, that's serious. Why facial surgery exactly?

There's the root of my old tooth they tried to remove still in my jaw, and the braces are trying to close the gap inbetween (as well as arrange my teeth). By now, the gum has healed over it, the root has sorta hunkered down and could possibly stop the gap from closing.

If that's the case, they'd have to do some teeny tiny... um face surgery to get it out. Or at least, the worst case scenario. Hopefully the fap does close and the root just becomes a weird bu interesting story.

what makes it face surgery as opposed to mouth surgery?

They'd have to go through the side rather than the normal top-down-in-the-mouth way.

At least that's what they said.

Alright but you should make sure they aren't lying by doing google research
