I just got back from having all 4 of my wisdom teeth hacked out.  This sucks in a way I can't describe. At least I can stay home and play a little TFC!  They gave me some good drugs, so I might be a little off for the next few days. So get in your cheap shots now! |

I've only had a tooth pulled once...upper right wisdom tooth two years ago. I was scared to death never having anything like this done before. My experience with dental proceedures other than check ups and cleanings was minimal since I got my very first cavity at 42.
Anyway...he tells me if I'm that concerned, perhaps I'd like to try gas. 
He said "you'll know your tooth is being pulled, but you won't care". 
He was right. It was out before I knew it and when he took the tube off my nose...the stuff wore off immediately. I went outside to pay my bill and noticed he charged me for 30 minutes of gas.
I immediately went back inside and asked for my other 20 minutes. |

I wouldn't call it fun, but it isn't as bad as I'd feared it might be. The worst part is I don't feel comfortable trying to eat anything, so it's been 22 hours since my last meal.  If you knew me, you'd know that food is one of my greatest passions. That makes it twice as bad. (plus, I'm fat. Never get between a fat man and his food!) |

I had mine surgically removed. They gave me an IV and my doctor goes "as soon as we get some tape on here, here comes the happy juice" 30 seconds later I was woozy, 10 seconds after that I was out cold. I kinda wish I was out cold now lol. |

Well...I'm 46 now. I got my first cavity 4 years ago when I was 42.
That's why I was so horrified when I had to have that molar yanked...ouch.wav.  |

I had 4 teeth yanked when I was like... 11. ONe of them was stuck. Very stuck. LITERALLY, the dentist had her foot on the armrest for leverage.
My teeth have been pretty decent, half-dozen cavities, but I've never needed anything totally major, like a root canal. I did have to have braces though. Those sucked. |

ive had 1 or 2 pulled out.... and ive had 2 cavities... but they were all on baby teeth so u cant know now my teeth are almost perfect, i dont need braces. however only 2 wisdom teeth have come in ok... 1 is kinda awkward, it came/is coming in with the back part and side of the tooth out first. pretty much its coming in at a weird angle... and my last wisdom tooth is still just pushing at my gums and wont be poking through for a while. i really hope i dont need to get my teeth pulled, it will really suck for me cuz while i have straight teeth.. my roots are HUGE, like 1 1/2 inches long, so it will really suck having them pulled  |

| oh man dentist stories!! Well about 6 monthes ago I had to get one wisdom tooth removed and two root canals all in the span of a two week period. that was great fun I have to say. I think my dentist loves to do work on me beacuse my plan is so good. i think I get about 3,000 a year for the dentist in my plan so he wants to do as much work on my teeth as he can. |

| i had a cavity once, except i was resistant to the painkillers so they ended up giving me about 7 shots of novacaine before i felt numbed at all, and even then they had to add some every few minutes |
