Apparently, I need to have my wisdom teeth removed.

Um, aren't you a little old for that?

Didn't have insurance throughout my 20s, and the one I got removed through the dental school was such a nightmare experience I never went back for the others. They haven't given me trouble until now, so I haven't bothered.

Wow, I didn't know you could just not do it. That's weird that they only did one.

I had all 4 of mine removed at once when I was like 19. It was horrible.

Not to make you all scared or anything.

For a different perspective:
I had all four of mine removed when I was 21 and it was not horrible at all. I didn't have general anesthesia (too scary) but I had the laughing gas and I knew what was going on but I just didn't care. Plus it seemed to only take 5 minutes. After I was given percosets but I didn't really need them and didn't like them so I just used ibuprofen and I was fine.

I went under, which I think was the big problem. I didn't know then that it makes me depressed.

They purposely only did one to try to force you to come back and participate in more studies. I hate the dental school.
