Had my wisdom teeth removed today. Not feeling my entire jaw is a bit strange but I don't believe I had any other strange effects from the sedation and I've been assured that I didn't say anything embarrassing.

Not having those teeth there anymore feels weird. They grew in well, but one developed a cavity that was causing me a headache that has been getting worse for the last 6 weeks.

and my doc just forced me to remove them before they grew in because $$$

they fucked up my gums with it also

doctors are such hacks

I had all four of mine removed in past year or two. Sometimes it doesn't make sense to keep them. My dentist explained to me that they get demineralised and thus rot way easier than usual, so after the second time I was there to have a cavity fixed, he suggested I just pull them out. And I'm not in the US, I think I only pay like 30 bucks for each one.

It's a bit weird at first, but you get used to it fast. Be prepared for a few days of pain and itchiness though.

@kamen free healthcare Canada it cost me 2000$

I don't have any. Guess I'm dumb

You don't say anything embarrassing because it's local anesthesia.

Sure if might feel weird at first, but you'll adjust.

After all, if they are removed it's likely because you simply have not enough room in your mouth for them, and they can push other teeth around and cause other issues.

I had mine removed when I was 17, before they even pushed out, as to not completely mess up my prior orthodoncy.

In Spain the dentist is covered by healthcare but the waiting list is usually so long that you are better off paying the 40 euros it will cost to have it removed.

@int32 Haha. Good one. A few minutes after reading the comment, I'm still laughing.
