I still have all my wisdom teeth. It actually seems a little strange at this point. I know a lot of people that started getting them pulled in High School. Every time someone mentions them I’m the only one in the room that doesn’t get to tell their horror/hero story about when they had their wisdom teeth pulled/drilled/chiseled. I wonder what percentage of people get to keep them in their head nowadays.
I had mine pulled when I was 20. My surgeon let me keep them! I have them in a little plastic bag in my desk drawer.
i still have mine *knocks on a conviently placed piece of wood*, bottom ones grew in at a 45 degree angle, xrays show a little gap that got a cavity but that was resolved with about 6 needles worth of novacaine, not truly sure if i have the upper wisdom either…. genetic lottery? i think so
i should see a orthodontis for my “stereotypical british” esque looking teeth, but yea i have a distrust of dentists from when i was younger, so anti anxiety meds for me when i need work done….. yay me!
WTFlanders? 47 comments and only three of them have anything to do with this most inexplicable page from the BOB? Maybe that’s it. Trying to explain this illustration would be like pulling teeth?
i think my wisdom teeth are coming in but my cousin aiden he probably has to get his wisdom teeth pulled as soon as they grow in becuase of his clamped jaw
Both my wisdom teeth at the top of the mouth are gone, while both at the bottom are still there.
WOW, has everyone and their mother finished sharing their wisdom teeth stories? How about this totally “Cow Tools” comic?!
Update: i am a chipmunk
Don’t have my wisdom’s yet, but anesthisia and surgery SUCK.
After I had all 4 wisdom teeth removed, they sent me home with a mouth full of gauze packing. I was still woozy from the sedation and fell asleep. I dreamed I was eating beef stew pieces. I chewed them up and chewed them up and swallowed…
25, and still have most of my wisdom teeth. That is not to say any of them were pulled or whatnot, but two of the uppers were partially destroyed leaving the equivalent of rear canines in their place. Don’t cause me discomfort anymore courtesy of their being softer than other teeth. We’ll see someday if my next dentist wants to dig them out of my skull.
I can’t have wisdom teeth. I need 6 molars to come in first. 4 on bottom, 2 up top. The unmatched molars are in at an angle, but don’t bother a thing.
I didn’t get it either.
I have three and a half wisdom teeth. One of them never grew in.
I still have all mine. I am 23. Dentist said I could keep them.
I still have my wisdom teeth! Fortunately, the lower ones waited ’til I had my back molars removed (darn things broke) to move in, and the upper ones seem to have absolutely no intention of moving at all.
I’m the other weirdo that never got her wisdom teeth. they’re not there to come in.
I’ve never had any teeth pulled at all, though I did break one of my top incisors as a kid. Nearly everyone in my family had some or all of their wisdom teeth pulled and when I was in school it seemed like a normal thing to do.
