Wisdom Teeth

I missed my 4 wisdom theet within 17 years

It was a full narcotic operation.. and now i do not miss them

At 81 yrs old, my wisdom teeth are still nestled in my gums. They have not caused any problems thus far.

I am 70 and still have all my wisdom teeth. They are laying flat under my gums and multiple dentists throughout the years have repeatedly said the same thing. If they are not bothering me leave them alone because apparently the roots of the teeth are curved and entwined around my jaw bone, apparently it would be very bad to remove them.

I’m 18 and I haven’t had my wisdom teeth out yet. My dentist said they should come out, but my orthodontist said removing them could shift my teeth.

@BriEl, at your age there should be no reason for removing your wisdom teeth. If your dentist insists, I would advise getting a second opinion.

I've not had mine removed but kinda want to experiance it at the same time I know I don't need them out so not having it done. My dream would be to let a fellow dental fetish player to give it a go but that wouldn't be safe.

I had an upper wisdom tooth removed last week, as well as a molar that had been broken below the gum line for two and a half years. This is all after avoiding dentists like the plague for about 4 years due to dental anxiety but finally working up the courage.

The extractions were over so quickly I couldn’t believe it! But omg…having the wisdom tooth removed was incredibly unpleasant. The SOUNDS inside my head were terrifying. 😳 I’ve had my bottom two removed and pretty sure I still have the upper right but it never erupted, so they’ve left it alone!

@Mumford I'm sorry you had to have teeth removed. Congrats on working up the courage. It takes a lot. I like my dentist, but hate going to him.

When I had to have my wisdom teeth removed, friends regaled me with stories of how terrible their experiences were, hearing the tooth crack, having to have an assistant come in to help pull on the extraction pliers. Fortunately I had all four of mine pulled at the same time and they put me under for that. I'm thankful I didn't have to deal with the sounds, as you noted.

How is your recovery going?

I was drafted into the US Army winter of 1966. In basic training, we underwent every kind of physical exam and given every vaccine known to Earthlings, including the one in the dick with a square needle.

After Basic, i was sent to my permanent duty station in Fort Rucker AL. I already had all i needed for that service and they just put me to work doing what i had learned to do before the Democrats killed their very own, most popular president, John F Kennedy. I was expecting to have to kill for these killers and was bracing for it. But i served out my time without ever leaving US soil. After about 6 or eight months, i got notified, i was needed at their dental service center. While in Basic Training, they discovered i had impacted wisdom teeth growing side ways into my molars. I was 21. The Dentist had to stand in the chair and risk falling off to get those two impacted ones pulled out. I was given minimal anesthesia per my request. I was tough and wanted them to know it. (now days i play enema games, go figure? 😕) I just knew, i would get the procedure over with and drive myself back to my quarters. But, NO! i had to be driven driven. Turned out, i only had 3 wisdom teeth and the third one was but a nubbin in there while the two uppers were monsters. That is the only benefit to my well being and livelihood i ever got or took from the government, except for some real nice correspondence courses i took to benefit my trade while in active military service.

My big grievance at the time was the long hours we worked very regularly, and they expected that i would soldier for them. 😁 However when it came time to be released from active service, they liked my work and asked me to extend a few months. They promoted me to an E-5 specialists grade as an arranged thank you, very much. So with only one year and 10 months of service i was an effective sergeant for the next 6 months. (I told them i was considering reenlistment, which was far from the truth and they probably knew that, too.)

All my wisdom teeth are impacted. Probably I’ll need to remove them soon.

I recall coming out of it after the valium drip stopped. Feeling very buzzed. I recall the buzz for a few days after of the Tylenol #3.

I recall getting the one refill of Tylenol #3 permitted and saving those [along with a few other saved ones from the first pill bottle] for special occasions. Handsfree masturbation on 2 Tylemol #3s was a lot of fun. And, took forever.

Yes, got them taken out when I was 16. I have a small mouth and had braces during my early-mid teens, so my parents decided that I'd have them removed as not to ruin the work, though I've later read that it may not have happened at all. That was the only time in my life I had surgery and general anesthesia.

I had wanted to experience general anesthesia and what it was like to be on oxygen for a long time at this point (and had told no one about it, obviously), and the latter especially was very, very pleasing, but what I liked less was being tired AF for days, and the hamster cheeks, barely being able to open my mouth for a while, and the TMJ issue I've had since then. I think my charming surgeon (/s) manhandled my jaw and didn't replace it correctly. Now it cracks and pops out whenever I open it too wide. Fun.

I haven't eaten gazpacho since those times. It's so acidic and reminds me of when I had to survive on soft foods.

Put mine of for years first gave me trouble in late teens of and on. had several infections over years. finally got one taken out in late 30s. Not fun at all due to anxiety and how bad it was impacted etc.

I've not had any out myself but I am curious what it feels like to have one out.

@BamaBelle I love your comment, it must have been a slightly traumatic event, but love the way you've detailed it x

I had mine removed from my left side when I was 18, due to interference by overlying gum bone preventing them from erupting on I think my upper teeth. Requested a Valium injection on the advice of my oral surgeon as being the most effective sedation, especially given that some gum bone was also being removed. The entire procedure seemed to be over in a flash, and healing took maybe three days as I recall.

I had my wisdom teeth out when I was 22 years old in 1980.

They put me under and I don't remember a thing about the surgery or the office, not even the numbing injections.

Apparently, at the dental office after the surgery, I was told to bite down on the cotton pads in my mouth while my mouth was still numb to help the sockets to clot over. Well, I was pretty stoned at the dental office so my brain didn't get the message.

Some time later, the sockets were still bleeding so I called the dentist and the dental office said to bite down on the cotton pads to help the sockets to clot over. I said it was too painful to bite down on the cotton pads to help the sockets to clot over. The dental office said I should have bitten down on the cotton pads WHEN my mouth was still numb. I said it was too late so now what do I do. The dental office said they would call in a prescription for a narcotic pain pills. I should take the pills and then bite down on the cotton pads to help the sockets to clot over.

My wife drove to the pharmacy because I wasn't supposed to drive for the rest of the day, but I went along because I wanted to take the pills as soon as the prescription was filled. I waited in the car while my wife went in to get the prescription.

The pain was really bad and all at once I felt light headed and very sick. Instinctively, I opened the car door and then I vomited onto the parking lot pavement.

As soon as my wife got back with the pain pills, I swallowed them down. When the narcotic started to take affect, I bit down on the cotton pads to help the sockets to clot over, and they did.

Voila. Problem solved.

Slightly off topic but it sounds like things still have not changed in the medical community here in 2025. My younger sister is currently undergoing treatment for breast cancer (the common treatable HR+/HER2- variety with 100% success rate). But there have been a few complications, such as a recent staph infection that warranted an ER visit. The thing is various medical personnel have made statements to the affect that she should have known to do certain things or watch out for certain things. She finally laid into one person telling them she didn't go to medical school, they did, and no one ever gave her a post-surgical list of things to look out for or possible complications. She has been winging it.

It should be routine at every medical/dental facility to give the patient a post-procedure list of everything they need to do and complications to be aware of.

As My dentist was retired , I had to find another dentist.

1) the dentist wants me to remove my 4 wisdom teeth but I suspected that it is too much.

2) I went to an other dentist that said that it is not necessary to remove them. She said perhaps one wisdom tooth but only if I had pain.

I had my wisdom teeth taken out in 3 times. One is still in and is lying sideways under my gums. 2 are extracted by a general dentist and 1 by an oral surgeon. He also did extract a broken 'normal' molar.

Mine were removed all at once when I was 18. I remember drifting off to sleep as the staff were preparing. Recovery was not fun, but to be expected considering the holes cut in my mouth.

Now I can revisit the experience in my mind and enjoy it. I wish it was recorded, it would be interesting to watch it and actually see what happens during the procedure.

Had my lowers remove at the oral surgery ij 2 appointments. They just numbed me up. They don't use nitro-gas here.

I joined the Navy at 18. When I was in Boot Camp, I went for my dental exam, and the dentist said my wisdom teeth needed to come out. I didn't even know they had come in, but 2 had. It was standard operating procedure to have wisdom teeth removed at that time. Those two extractions were relatively simple, but I was given a 24-hour rack pass and T3's. (Tylenol with codeine). Years later, on two separate occasions, the VA pulled the other two. They were both impacted (Actually growing sideways out of my jaw.) and required a major effort to come out.

Whilst I have a medical fetish, that does not encompass dentistry, which I hate, from several awful experiences as a boy, and pain at every dentist visit,

I had all four of my Wisdom teeth removed in 2014 at age 43, my dentist (private not NHS) had found a problem that needed them to come out, as I was adamant I wanted to be knocked out for it otherwise it wasn't happening, he arranged for it to be done in hospital on the NHS under general anaesthetic,

I live alone which meant I would have to be kept in hospital afterwards, thus I waited a long time and began to experience severe pain, to the point I asked to go on the "emergency list" that I would accept any space became that available at short notice, which the next week it did, I was in agony afterwards and spent a few nights in the hospital, which I did enjoy, despite the pain, and then a week off work,

Only one of my wisdom teeth has fully come out and 2 are almost there and there are days where it hurts like hell
