    I had them out at 18 in the Navy. At first I didn’t want to have it done, but then looking at the X-ray, I was all about it.

    Loved when my impacted wisdom tooth that looked closely to that exploded in my jaw in 2019. Great times. Real glad my surgery was in February of 2020.

      “Impacted” sounds like unbearable pain. No? Got a good story about mine. Bear with me.

      Got my top 2 out because they erupted sideways, actually cut my finger, thought it was a stuck Dorito. Shit had to go. Got the bottom 2 while I was under general.

      First time completely under. Dentist said I wasn’t going home until my gf could drive me. Great! Woke at home with her hovering over my face. She was a little bitchy when I asked how I got home.

      “You don’t remember that? Nothing?!”

      I had refused to leave the comfy office bed, fought and cussed. Whole waiting room heard:

      “FUCK YOU! I’ll take you back there and do to you what they did to me!”

      Jesus. (Nurses right about now: Yep. And I know OP is a guy.)

      One of mine is like that. The dentist said to just ignore it unless it gives me trouble, or if I’m planning extended stay in the developing world, then I should get it removed before I go, just in case.

    Had this surgery done this march for two teeth… 2 weeks on painkillers. Here in Denmark all I got was store bought painkillers… ibuprofen and paracetamol… and a bill for 8600DKK ~1000$

    0/10 - will not recommend

    Had six done at once with local anesthesia. Yup, whole two supernumerary teeth.

    It sure was an experience that I wouldn’t want to experience again.
