I don’t think toothfairy will accept those

Toothfairy's pay extra for those. They're called supernumeraries.

I believe the numbers are 52, 66, 67, and 82

If you want them clean and shiny (and not smelling like rotten meat), soak them in hydrogen peroxide until the blood and tissue dissolves. This usually takes hours to days, depending on the amoint of tissie. To make them white, soak them in 30 strength hair developed for a few days. You'll have super-white, clean teeth to display!

Thank you for the tip! I’m still contemplating what I should do with them

What made you take them in the first place. No way in hell I wanted mine when they pulled them.

They give them to you. You decide what to do next, since its your physical property

Weird, I wasn't offered mine. But my Dad did get his. Maybe it just depends on the dentist.

It's like when you get an orchiectomy. You get to take what they removed home in a doggy bag.

I'm in the lucky 35% of the population that didn't get wisdom teeth at all.

Saw what several of my friends and my ex went through getting them pulled - no thanks.

I only grew two! Maybe that’s why getting them removed didn’t seem so bad - just a few days of swelling.

I went to high school with a kid who had 8? He said they were genuinely all wisdom teeth and not just extra teeth being removed from crowding. Swelling is usually pretty bad, but his face was literally doubled the normal width

Every time I see a post about wisdom teeth I'm reminded of my horrid experience.

​

Long story short, 4 wisdom teeth 1 on each corner. I only had them numb my mouth. If I remember correctly the right side was fine which happens to be where they started. They did my top left 3rd and it definitely wasn't as numb, but not too bad at all so whatever. 4th tooth, bottom left, felt like it wasn't numbed whatsoever.

​

The amount of force I put into my grip on the arm rests of the chair and how hard I dug into the rests with my elbows to not be shaking was insane. The chair along with my shirt was soaked in sweat from how much pain I was in.

​

They asked if I was okay from my facial expressions and if I could feel it, told them I was fine. I was not fine. I just wanted it to be over since they already started on it and it was the last tooth.

​

Now everything considered... Realistically speaking it's not that bad getting them pulled, but I'm also extremely comfortable when it comes to needles, dental work, etc. If I wasn't a hard ass about wanting them to continue since otherwise it was another 15ish minutes to numb more, it wouldn't have even been too bad.

They didn't knock you out for that? My ex had 2 pulled and they knocked her out cold for the procedure

Mase598 t1_j2ajwq6 wrote

Worth mentioning I'm in Ontario, Canada. Not sure if maybe it's different in different parts of the world but for me and my sister when we've done it, we had 1 of 3 options.

​

I believe it was the numbing thing which I did, I think it's laughing gas which I believe my sister did, and the good ol' knock out.

​

It was progressively more expensive and like I said I'm generally comfortable with all that stuff, so I chose the numbing. The knock out sounded the most fun though going off videos of people post procedure.

When I was a kid I came into the dentist's room and apparently before I did so he took out a wisdom tooth from one of his assistant's. They told me it's the tusk of a sabretooth tiger, but the assistant's cheek was still swollen as fuck, so I knew they were lying and ran out to my mom.

If they lie to me before I even sit down, you can bet your ass they'd lie about "If it hurts, just say something and we'll stop"!

We had to switch dentists.

Damn guess they didn’t care about damaging the bones, they usually cut the multi-roots in pieces so it’s a smoother release.

OP might've asked to keep the teeth. I asked if I could keep mine and the surgeon pulled them out whole like this. My sister had the same thing but didn't want them, and the same surgeon chopped hers up for easier extraction.

Mase598 t1_j27xmt4 wrote

idk why this is awakening a memory from when I got braces lol

​

I worked at a hot food department at a super store, I got braces and eating was difficult for a few days. I thought I'd be good by this point one shift so I bought a sandwich on a toasted baguette. I literally couldn't bite into the bread hard enough for teeth marks to be pressed in, let alone pulling off pieces.

​

I ended up giving up and just ripping off tiny pieces by hand and swallowing the chunks without chewing.

​

I legit think that trying to bite into this sandwich is like a top 5 in the most painful things I've had to do. #1 would be having a wisdom tooth pulled essentially without any numbing, #2 would be having 2 cavities filled with no anesthetic because I didn't want to go back a week later to do it, and probably the stupidest is #3 from a rollercoaster that I think gave me a mild concussion.

Is this not common? I got all of mine out in one day and was back to normal 2 days later.

kaliveraz t1_j246w67 wrote

Not where I live, my dentist recomended to remove one by one so I can continue eating solid foods

Oohwshitwaddup t1_j24gikc wrote

More sense would be like mine where they did 1 side first (left) then the other right. Leaving 1 in on a side doesnt do anything since there is no tooth opposite side of it to help chew food.

I had 8 wisdom teeth pulled and then another grew in about 10 years later... Got dry socket after the 8 were pulled and reeeeeally don't recommend it!

Can sympathize, Dry socket is like having a needle slowly pushed through your temple. Was on staggered doses of naproxen and codeine for 5 days just to function

PhotonWolfsky t1_j251nc2 wrote

How did you get lucky enough to have them whole? Dentist had to take a damn jackhammer to mine and extract like 40000 little pieces after breaking it apart.

Also, 40000 is a joke. Can't be too careful with Mr. Literals on the internet.

My oldest daughter was born without wisdom teeth. It's apparently some random mutation.

TacoMachine45 t1_j24n0vz wrote

I was also born without wisdom teeth. I had gone to the dentist and was curious if they were going to grow in soon. Doc had just finished my X-Ray before we started the cleaning and she looked at me and said: "Don't worry about it, they're not there."

I was confused, so she swiveled the screen around to me and showed me: "You don't have any wisdom teeth, and you never will." X-Ray had no Wis teeth on it, nor any signs of growth.

I consider myself extremely lucky after hearing different stories about removals.

I kept mine. I’m currently 34 and they’ve given me no major issues yet. I don’t understand getting major surgery because something might happen. How about do nothing unless that complication happens?

That’s so cool you got to keep them! I had 7 taken, 3 wisdom (4th one didn’t grow) and 4 just to make room for movement. Still have my X-rays I find this stuff super interesting

Thunder_gp t1_j261bwq wrote

I will never forgive the orthodontist my family used. I had 1 request. To have them keep my wisdom teeth after they took them out.

And they didn’t. They threw them out the moment they were removed. If I could sue them for emotional damages at the time, I would have. I left the place in anger and my mom at the time was thinking it was the meds that made me angry.

Fuck that place.

I also had 6 wisdom teeth! 4 regular and two supernumerary. I vividly remember the anesthesiologist not considering 2 extra teeth would take longer, so my anesthesia dosage was wrong. Woke up during them pulling a tooth out in an incredible amount of pain. It was 14 years ago and I still feel the convulsions and pain if I think about it!
