I gots no problems with mine. If you can't brush them you are using the wrong kind of toothbrush. And if you can't floss them you are a moron.

Yup... I was 30 when I started having pain below the surface of my wisdom teeth, turned out they were decaying below the skin due to food particles. They grew in perfectly straight and my mouth had plenty of room for them.

I had all 4 taken out, one was impacted. I was never in real pain and I did not take pain medication. I was eating solids 24 hours after. I love my dentist too. :)

I paid $200, total, no insurance, and was in and out of the dentist's office in half an hour. BOOYA!!

I had two teeth pulled last week; it took 45 minutes since one required surgery, and I didn't use a single painkiller once the anesthesia wore off. Stop being such a pansy.

my teeth are naturally small, so i never had to worry about having them removed. they grew in quite nicely.

Dentists had to use a laser to burn off excess gum that was surrounding my 2nd molars. Worse part was that I could smell the burning flesh and the fumes just left from the top of my mouth. I shudder at the thought of wisdom teeth.

Mine are doing just fine. That still doesn't stop those money-grubbing dentists from offering to extract them.

I had my wisdom teeth come in straight, and the rest of my teeth remain straight.

All 4 of my wisdom teeth grew in straight, didn't have to get them removed... however my dentist said I should be extra careful cleaning them, because if they start to rot I will have to take them out... I dread the pain so I have been very careful about cleaning them when brushing

Got all four of mine. Even sweet talked the Dentist into putting a gold crown on one. He wanted to have it extracted.

i had all 4 of mine out yesturday. went to sav-on to get my vikoden. I took like 3 of those and 1 other pain killer. i was bleeding all night and threw up blood. I went in to the doctors office today because I had blood still comming out of my right side. He put in some blood clot activator stuff and i'm fine now. I guess I wasn't putting the gauze where the blood was comming from (incision in the cheek). Messy lots of blood/drool! No pain though.
