Hell ya! That guy was about a ft shorter than me, maybe more, and he did the most damage. It was like a fury of tiny fists.

Moving on though...........:)

When I was little I had an absest (sp) I hardly remember it but I am told I was wailing in pain for a while. My mom had both her wisdom teeth pulled recently (don't know why so late) and was drugged up for a good week afterwards lol. I don't think she was feeling much bad things then.

THAT SUCKS THO!

Ya, an absest (sp?) tooth can send you into a coma if not removed right away.

It's not the tooth pulling that hurts afterwards, that's just a little discomfort, I mean when the hole doesn't clot up all the way. Air gets to your root and it's like a downed powerline, sparking in the wind. Just electric pains of shock go through your body every 2seconds. Terrible pain.

The dentist assistant told me at first that I had to have a root canal. I almost jumped out of the chair and killed her :p Thanks goodness I didn't though, because that sounds, unpleasant.

Some people don't need their wisdom teeth out at all in their lifetime. I got mine out because of heavy decay, some get them out because they are pushing on all of your other teeth. My 2 bottom wisdoms are fine (so far) and don't need to be removed.

Peace

I could have gone into greater detail, but I didn't want to gross people out :p

Like, sticking a dentistry instrument into my blood clot hole to duplicate the pain I have been feeling. I almost died, well, at least it felt that way

I had mine done over a year about (about 2) and luckely I didn't get dry socket. It all went well. All of my wisdom teeth were extracted and I didn't even take pain meds after and the whole recovery!
