You should have gotten them removed. My surgery was a blast and the painkillers they gave me have helped tremendously. It wasn't bad at all.
When my wisdom teeth came in it wasted about $15k and 3+ years of worth of brace work. My bottom teeth are all fucked.
$$$$$$.
Stop smiling. Problem solved, loser.

I don't remember it hurting. Painkillers, what?

my dentite said my teeth are amazing and anyone else who needs them taken out are inferior beings unlike myselfwouldn't that just make you less evolved?
Wisdom teeth are so dumb. Mine were like sideways so they had to take them out. They had to cut up them up while they were still in and take them out piece by piece. The recovery didn't hurt at all really, but it was such a pain not being able to eat real food. My recovery was pretty painless, but it lasted much longer than normal people. Like 10 days. 10 days of mashed potatos. :(
Wisdom teeth don't come in for everybody. It's like a small evolutionary trait. Some people get them, others don't, since we don't really need them. Similar to muscles in our ears. I think I was reminded by an episode of Heroes.

This is my situation. From reading around, it sounds like wisdom teeth coming in sideways is relatively common.
To GilloD, it will take 400-600 bucks to get them taken care of. If you are feeling pain, you at least need to get them looked at. Fuck, I have all sorts of wisdom teeth related problems and I felt no pain when they came in. 400-600 may sound steep, but keep in mind that preventative dentistry is MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH cheaper than getting things fixed after all hell breaks loose. If you are holding out until you have dental insurance--don't. Dental insurance is around the board terrible and doesn't cover a whole lot. Even if you had good dental insurance, chances are you'd be paying for most of your treatments out of pocket anyway.
60% of wisdom tooth extractions don't need to be performed. It's just a dental cash cow.

It's odd, but when mine were coming in, my dentist kept insisting how horrible it was going to be, and wanted to take them out pronto. I never bothered, and now they're in, no problem. But every visit, that's the first thing she brings up, and keeps pushing for me to get them pulled so much so that I've started to wonder if it was really just about lining her pockets all along.

wow they screwed you.
My total to get my wisdom teeth removed (on right side of face only, 3 teeth (I had an extra wisdom tooth on the top right!!!) plus anesthetic(spelling?) was around 1100. I only paid 125 of that due to dental. :)
Yeah but at least we live in a free country.

To be clear, the surgery was paid for by my private insurance. Canada does not have universal dental care.
By the way, I thought you lived in America. What's all this about you living in a free country. :P
