who here has gotten their wisdom teeth out?

i know im going to need to soon even thought im only 14 because mine r growing in and REALLY bothering me!!!!! aaah

not yet and i am almost 16..and my brother is almost 18 and hasnt gotten his out.....

I haven't gotten them out but I had 4 teeth pulled last year, but they were impacted in my gum, so I had to go to the hospital and have sugery :eek: But it was worth it. I guess.

It hurt. I had stitches. I know this doesn't help but I felt like sharing lol

I had to have mine cut out by an oral surgeon. I think I was about 20 yrs old. I had to drink liquids and live on soup and popsicles for about a week afterwards.

I had a wisdom tooth on the top pulled and it didnt hurt at all.I was so scared I cryed and panicked and freaked out.The dentist could tell I was scared.When he gave me the novicane I said "can you hit me again?"He gave me the novicane TWICE...cuz I asked for it.I felt nothin,it was over in less than two minutes,and I didnt need any pain medication to recover.
BUT...that was a top tooth.I've heard top ones dont hurt and bottom ones do.(go figure)

Ahhhhhhh you guys are freaking me out....I think I hafta get them pulled this summer...:eek: I'm soo scared I've never gotten a tooth pulled in my life...!!!!

I haven't gotten mine yet, and i'm not looking foward to getting them either.

thanx ppl for those enlightening comments.

i haven't gotten mine out yet-my orthodonics says i can get em out when i'm 17..yes!
but my friend got hers pulled like in feb or march. i don't wanna freak anyone out, but she said it did hurt and to quote her the antibotics they gave her were "crap."

I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth pulled at the same time, the day before school started my junior year in high school. I won't bore you with details but 3 of the teeth were easy, the 4th one I had problems with, but it was the dentist's fault. But thats another story. :)

Hey, 3 out of 4 ain't bad :)

Maybe you won't ever get them. Some people never do.

I dont want them out! There arent any there yet, but the dentist said that they are coming in. Oh joy! But i get my tonsils out in June. Again joy! :rolleyes:

yep, i gotta get my top two yanked out this summer...the bottomn two are so close to my nerves that if we have them taken out, i have to go to the hospital for surgery! ugg...so we will se boutt he bottomn oies. I'm not that nervous...the denist told me i would be put to sleep, so tha't sall i asked for!

I was born w/out wisdom teeth, thank God! My friend had hers cut out a couple weeks ago & had to live on pudding (Bill Cosby would be proud) & JELL-O for a while. She also had chipmuck cheeks for about a week ;)

he didn't put you to sleep?

I have had all 4 of my Wisdom teeth out. It hurt for a couple of days. Then it got better. Take my advice DO NOT let your dentist pull your Wisdom teeth out. Go to a oral surgeon. You will feel sore for a week. you will survive though.

most dentists will send you to a oral surgeon, they do that for root canals too.

I forgot to mention that my dentist OFFERED to put me"to sleep"...and I ended up sayng NO. I'm also one of those people who fears being "put under"...what if I never wake up!!!!So I was awake during mine.It wasnt nearly as bad as I thought it would be...it was over in 2 minutes.You feel a little pressure.
