    reciting Wentworth's letter (no notecards or anything!) at an audition for a school play got me three dates.

    It's gotten me weird looks and uhhh replies.
    My wisdom teeth about a year after they were pulled grew back. But they and most of my teeth were pulled and replaced with implants

    my dude, they did not grow back

    you likely had a second set that should've been spotted on an exray

    the first set were deformed so T pulled them. About a year later my teeth have a dull pain so T looks again and says they grew back? What? For the most part they were not as robust as the first teeth so later that year when she started the process of my teeth getting replaced she pulled my wisdom teeth to study them to find out why they grew back as they did not show up on the Xray but said since the root was still there that was probably why just a quirk of nature
    She had both my ugly wisdom teeth and the regrowth ones

    My wisdom teeth were a damn horror story

    like I had to sign a waiver that I wouldn't sue the surgeon if they ended up paralyzing my jaw during the removal =/

    That's pretty normal (the waiver), due to the nerve and vein placement by your wisdom teeth. It can happen accidentally. Thankfully extraction techniques & tools are much safer and faster these days then they used to be.

    now I'm vaguely curious as to whether mine was a unique situation or not

    spoiler for dental horror (or at least it grosses me out)
    so the roots of my wisdom teeth had partially wrapped or inverted beneath the jaw .... nerve? whatever it's called. At any rate, to get the bottom ones out, they had to saw them in half and extract each side individually

    fortunately I was completely under and the only memory I have is drunkenly singing 'Help' by the Beatles as I came out of it

    My lower right wisdom tooth
    had to be cracked into a bunch of parts that then had to be dug out. Took about 45 minutes for that tooth alone.
    Fun times.

  • Blake TBlake T Do you have enemies then? Good. That means you’ve stood up for something, sometime in your life.Registered User regular
    My under standing is that the majority of wisdom teeth are cracked and removed in parts. Complications arise to do with the distance of your nerves to your roots of your teeth.

    It's definitely not a unique thing but due to how deep the wisdom teeth are it can happen. Sounds like the oral surgeons were on their A game though, glad you got through it without complications!

    I still have all my wisdom teeth, and based on these stories I will fight to the death any dentist who tries to take them

    There's a really small group of people that have no issues and have just enough room for them, or they impact slightly and cause no further pain in the jaw.

    But yeah these horror stories make me thankful I never had them.

    My brothers and sisters did though.

    Yeah, I still need to get my wisdoms removed as well, but they've caused me very little issue over the years so it has been pretty low priority

    Once they're taken out I'm gonna get them made into a pair of cufflinks

    Pandemic Dating. People having video calls with each other and such.

    Strange times we live in.

    I had a video call date on Saturday and I have another tomorrow

    so weird

  • FlarneFlarne Registered User regular
    I have all mine, no real issues except they can be a bit hard to clean properly. Dentist says they're alright to stay unless they cause proper issues.

    One of them never came out though, not sure if it even exists.

    I think you can also gauge the current state of the dating scene by the way the love thread has turned into a dental horror show.

    No, that's just a natural occurrence that loops around every few months.

    Really horrible teeth related story
    Back in 2010 I think we discovered my dad had a brain tumour, and he had to have surgery to remove it. A few days after surgery he had a seizure and chewed up his tongue really badly. Then while dealing with that he got toothache. He went to the dentist who discovered he had an abscess underneath one of his teeth (he only had like 4 left at that point), probably caused because his immune system was taking a kicking from all the recent events.

    The dentist gave him as much novacaine as it was possible to give and according to my dad it didn't even touch it, so he basically had this infected tooth pulled with no pain relief, and it went how you would expect. My mum said when they came out to the waiting room afterwards the dentist looked shaken and was apologising. My dad ended up going in a couple of weeks later to give him a bottle of wine as an apology for making him deal with it.

    He got the rest of his teeth removed afterwards and just has dentures now because fuck ever doing that again.

    Yeah it was nice, actually

    And it kind of filters out stuff in fact. Like I can go for a drink with basically anyone but a five hour long video call? You gotta actually like someone to achieve that

    Makes you actually get to know each other anyway. And it makes you more inventive. On Saturday we had coffee and cake in the afternoon. Next is cheese and wine.

    Most vertebrates have regrowing teeth, mammals just suck!

    Dinosaur teeth are rather common compared to full skeletons because dinosaurs regularly lost or shed them

    What do you even talk about for five hours?

    People can't have that many dental horror stories to share.

    Unless you're on a date with a dentist.

  • TallahasseerielTallahasseeriel Registered User regular
    And that's the tooth

  • PlatyPlaty Registered User regular
    The amount of dental horror stories you can share is inversely proportional to the amount of teeth you still have
