Almost have to wonder why the hell we still have third molars if they're no use to us and just have to be pulled out anyway
My jaw was large enough to accomodate my wisdom teeth, so I got to keep mine. However, I had one bad tooth that basically disintigrated down to the point I needed a gold crown at 16 (this is what happens when you're parents don't take you to the dentist for four years, and they don't listen when you say something's wrong with your teeth!).

Eventually, the gold crown came out (at 6am on a Wednesday at college, so I had to wait for the weekend before I could drive 90 miles back to see my dentist). What was left of that tooth didn't want to come peacefully, so I got a local anesthetic, had the dentist drill into the tooth, cut it into three sections, and pull each one out individually. Even then, it took every last ounce of his upper body strength to pull the tooth out, and it didn't hurt!

Of course, I'm one of these bizarre people who doesn't feel cavities, or other pain in my teeth.

Mine didn't actually HAVE to come out, they weren't impacted or anything, but the way they were positioned in my mouth would've made them impossible to take care of properly. Hence it's be a better idea in the long run to just get the damn things out. I take care of my teeth, brushing, flossing, and all. I've gone 22 years without a cavity, only the occasional chip that needed fixed because my teeth tend to double as bottle-opener, bag-opener, and on the rare occasion, screwdriver :shock: It didn't hurt when my wisdom teeth came in, it's getting them out that's a pain in the jaw >.<

I got mine a while back. I was supposed to be allowed to keep 'em, that's why they pulled the other 6 in the first place (well, really 7 but the 7th had a second adult took behind the 1st, and keeping it would have resulted in me looking like jaws). Well, that and to accommodate for those damn braces. Then my dentist decided he wanted the pull those too. :shock: Now there no good. :roll: That's why I haven’t been back to the dentist in almost 7 years. That and I don't take well to being poked and prodded in the mouth, the most sensitive part of my body, with needles, my number one fear.


Moral of the story: All dentists are evil.

What's to stop the dentist from giving you a super dose of Novocaine (enough to numb and incapacitate your body) and then FORCING you to swallow the drill?
I'm out...

I just had all 4 of mine out last friday. I got stitches in 3 of them and they're disgustingly dissolving on their own.

You mean yours doesn't? Is that abnormal or something?
