I know you'll think I'm lame, but which ones are the wise ones? :blink:
anyway, I have all my teeth except for one, so there's a 1 in 8 chance I had to answer d. and 7/8 chance of f

the call them wisdom teeth because they are the last molars to come break through the gums, locate at the very back of your jaw. Most of the time they become impacted, or you simply do not have evnouhg room in your mouth so they grow crooked and you have to get them removed or you could have permenant nerve damage or something...not good. I had all four at once yay me!

I'm still waiting for my other three to come in. I've felt them coming for a long time, and one hurts.

I've been having trouble with my teeth all my life. I've had a large number pulled, and even more surgically removed from my jaw :tai:
But, on the bright side, my wisdom teeth will propably never come out

I've never had trouble with wisdom teeth. :bleh: Although a few years ago, one of my teeth came out sideways instead of up. It was gruesome to look at, but actually not that painful. That was the only tooth I had to have yanked.

[omg]

its times like this im glad that i have underdeveloped teeth, with one milk tooth still there, and only half of one wisdom tooth

[Quintopotere]

I've all my 32 tooths!

I'm glad (and lucky, of course!) that the wisdom ones didn't tortured me...

have they broken through the gums or not?

My bottom two had, but my top two weren't. I got an intravaneous anaesthetic, so the whole suregry felt about two seconds to me (it was so wonderful!) I got home, and my surgeon said because I have a very high drug tolerance, to take two vicoden, so I was really really loopy all yesterday. I'm pretty good now though. My surgeon is one of the top five in the US, so I don't have any swelling or bruising at all. The whole operation took about thirty minutes to cut in and extract all four. The only thing that is annoying is using the water pick to blast food out of the bottom gaps, but even that is kind of fun because I can shoot water at people from around corners

BUt I wish the best of luck to you Death Dude. When you get home, do the whole twenty minutes on, twenty minutes off with cold for the first day, and do the same with heat the next, and you shouldn't swell too much.

Well the ones on top have broken through but the ones on the bottom haven't so yeah funness, but thanks for the comments ReamusLQ I'll try your advice as well, definitely k:
