Where are you?

Isn't he in the US? As with everything else, health, dental, etc are NOT coverred by the gov't. Hence why so many people here go without such treatment until it's too late.

[EtherShock]

Unless you're a senator. They have an excellent health plan.

[Taristin]

They also don't have to pay into Social Security. (although they'll spend it all, bastards)

[Nuclear1]

Yep, had mine taken out last month. Those first few nights of sucking up jello and pudding and watching old war movies... now at least I respect older people more.

[Corsair]

I had one pulled... hey, I got some quality laughing gas time out of it. The rest of the experience wasn't too fun though.

Appearently I am not able to tolerate Vicodin at all. It makes me nausous, even with food.

[Knight Templar]

Two years ago. Interesting epexeriance, having feelings ones teeth being cut out of one's mouth. Gause isn't the best tasting material either.

I just had my last two wisdom teeth removed today. They reffered me to a dentist who can do a general anesthetic, so they put me to sleep while they removed the lower two. There was little choice, those teeth were so deeply rooted that Novocain (however it is spelled) couldn't numb it.


But, I am glad that this drama is finally over.

Those dam Dentists. Always trying to cause pain and get more appointments. "Oh sorry, our pain killers are not working. Lets keep going!"

My wisdom teath didnt come up but one of my bottem ones, is like 1\2 through. Its point is like right under the skin so at tiems when i chew and **** it herts but it never comes up. Wtf..!:!:!

That's total non-sense. They can't "try to cause pain" because it violates their Hippocratic Oath.

[Ford Prefect]

Good job. You've exposed Charismatic for the phony liar he is.

[EtherShock]

Some do try to get more money out of you. Mine keeps bugging me about some cosmetic work. I think I'm going to find a new dentist.

My wisdom teeth were causing too much pain so I had them extracted.  All four of them gone one the same day and I didn't pay a penny for the surgery.  My dental plan covered everything.

[color=66ff00]I had one pulled under a gen. anesthetic. It was somewhat humourous actually as the dentist asked me to count backwards from 5 when he inserted the needle. All I remember was 5, 4, ...

I woke up in my uncle's car some time later none the worse for wear. Strange thing is that I had to get down a flight of stairs to the car. I have no recollection of that though.

Regarding Kosh and Ford's points in relation to Charasmatic's:
Taking the oath and actually keeping it are two different things. Dentistry is not the occupation of saints, I'm sure there are more than a few unscrupulous types in the business. I'm pretty sure Ford was being sarcastic though.

Maybe you're not sufficiently wise yet?

[StratComm]

My wisdom teeth were not that bad.  They were impacted but I had them all taken out after my 19th birthday.  I was under for the whole thing so I don't really remember any pain (we had them cut out from X-ray results rather than pain, as there wasn't room for them) but I was feeling well enough that night to go to a basketball game and a concert.

haha i had the same situation, That anesthetic gets to work fast boy, I was mid conversation when I passed out

[aldo_14]

I had a dream about care bears last time I had a general anesthetic.

I was, admittedly, a fair bit younger then.

[Wild Fragaria]

Not me.  I remember part of what happened during surgery.  It was freaky.
