    I had them out at 18 in the Navy. At first I didn’t want to have it done, but then looking at the X-ray, I was all about it.

    Loved when my impacted wisdom tooth that looked closely to that exploded in my jaw in 2019. Great times. Real glad my surgery was in February of 2020.

    Had six done at once with local anesthesia. Yup, whole two supernumerary teeth.

    It sure was an experience that I wouldn’t want to experience again.

        Lol yeah, something like the colossus titan, but put a large underbite on him. Wish I could see what my actual physical skull looks like. I have a gold tooth in the back, too. Would be a gnarly skull.

            I’m poor as all hell. Like I said, my adult teeth have always been fragile. My mother was mid-class and worked a lot of OT at the local mill. I think the dentist smooshed her into getting a gold one. I vaguely remember him saying that it was the overall longest lasting, since I was so young and I’d need it all my life. I guess in his defense I’m mid 30’s now and never had a problem with it, so he could be right?

            My left front tooth (the one between my actual front tooth and canine) is actually a cap that I can’t even afford to get finished. It’s been on for two years now. Basically covid hit and the dental office I was in went under. Then there was a 100-person waitlist to find ANY dentist in my area and I’m still waiting… Not to mention I’ve been laid off…

            So yeah, I’m just as broke as most of my generation, lol.
