wisdom tooth blues (Toothsmith??)

poppycracker

my wisdom teeth are sitting pointing at a 45 degree angle forward into my back teeth! Now if only i can persuade them not to grow!

Just to let you know (and hopefully reassure you) I had my errant wisdom tooth out this morning.

And I had to ask if it was over, it was that quick!


I think it involved a scalpel...but had my eyes so tightly screwed shut I don't know.

I'm glad I don't eat lunch at a normal time!!! _pale_

Glad you're all sorted. Are you sore?

Nope - not one little bit.


And I had lunch....it was yummy too.

Am feeling a little dizzy, but apart from that I feel good

I would say that most little runty wisdom teeth pop out quite easily just with a local anaesthetic - especially if they have actually come through into the mouth.

I did one this very morning!! Patient didn't even know I'd begun when I'd finished (Ooh er missus:D).

Teeth that are still buried can be tricky, but once through, even though they seem a long way back and inaccessible, they don't give much problem to remove.

Can't be sure without seeing it though.

Guess mine was one of those runty ones then - dentist took one look and said he'd get it out in no time. He wasn't wrong. He did say it was a bit weird though - he said they should have 3 roots and mine just had one curly one

It's a bit sore, but I've discovered I can manage custard, so I'll not starve!!!

Thanks (again) for your advice - you dentists are fab! :beer:
