I have a big mouth, so my wisdoms grew in without issue...

But I caught wind that as you get older they may become an issue...

So I decided in the preventive maintenance plan, and had them removed..

I know what people are thinking, who removes 4 healthy teeth?...

This guy.... This guy....

I had all 4 of mine surgically removed almost 14yrs ago.  They were coming in at an angle, and there wasn't enough room for them.  Had I kept them, they would have dug into the back of my rear teeth causing damage to them and most likely screwing up my teeth overall pretty severely.

I had all 4 removed and still have the photo I took of myself on the way home bleeding all over myself with the gauze sticking out of my mouth. I had them removed because they were getting infected and causing pain.

You sure about that?

 

I knocked you down with my fist.

 

 

:p

 

 

Joking aside, mine are gone years ago.

I'm 47 and I still have 3. One came out a year ago. It came up to high on its own, which is what they do, and eventually worked its way out.

I haven't been to the dentist since I was around 14, and my teeth are perfect.

Other than being a tad crooked from the overcrowding from the wisdom teeth not being taken out, but doesn't bother me.

My teeth don't hurt and my gums dont bleed, and theyre fairly white. Good enough for me.

All 4 pulled out in 2009. Ugh the pain I suffered through - extremely excruciating!

Air Force removed all of them 6 months in after discomfort when closing my jaw. Free day off also!  :shiftyninja:


All 4 of them grew straight, so I didn't have to get them remove. However, they do hurt a bit if I clamp my jaw in an awkward position.

Same problem here even though they were supposedly straight. Clamping jaw caused discomfort. Had them removed and all is well.

Had all four taken out 18 years ago, at age 44. Given the relief it gave the jam-packed tightness of my teeth, I wish I had done it much sooner. Had the surgery done while awake, only Novocain,  as I had to drive myself home afterward. Gums kept bleeding until I ditched the gauze.

yes i have. interestingly the dentist many many years ago when i had an operation decided to remove all 4 teeth before the wisdom teeth.

    • No, "a great deal" for 32GB of DDR5 is $50, not $350. I mean I see what you mean, that it's a decent price compared to what's currently available, but you really should put a disclaimer in this articles explaining that it's still multiple times more expensive than it used to be.
    • Linux 7.1 stable launch looms as Linus Torvalds releases the final release candidate by Paul Hill Linus Torvalds has just released what’s expected to be the final release candidate of Linux 7.1, rc7. The Linux founder said that this RC is not small, but smaller than recent releases, which is a good sign because he expects the stable version to drop next week if things continue on this trajectory. Linux kernels see a merge window for the first two weeks of their life, where developers add new features, then there are about seven or eight weeks of release candidates before the stable version. Typically, there are seven release candidates, but if more time is needed, then an eighth release candidate is released too. This week’s RC’s biggest area of fixes was for GPUs, with networking just behind. Torvalds said that the rest of the release was “pretty random and spread out” with some architecture fixes, driver fixes, filesystem improvements, and build fixes for more unusual configs. In terms of specific pieces of hardware receiving improvements in this update, we had more AMD Zen6 models supported and fixes for AMD SDMA 7.1 and GFX11. Hardware that got improvements includes Lenovo laptops, HONOR laptops, and MSI laptops. Here are the changelogs for those: ASoC: amd: acp: Add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 15ASH11 Input: atkbd - add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Air 14 (83QK) Input: atkbd - skip deactivate for HONOR BCC-N's internal keyboard ASoC: amd: yc: Add MSI Raider A18 HX A9WJG to quirk table ASoC: amd: yc: Enable internal mic on MSI Bravo 17 C7VF When the stable Linux 7.1 is released, it will be up to distribution maintainers, such as Canonical and Red Hat, to release the update to their users via the update manager. Some versions of Linux will get it before others, and some will never get it at all. Fedora and Arch-based distros will be among the first to get it, though. If you don’t get it, the security fixes will be backported to your system’s kernel, so you won’t be at risk, but you won’t get newer hardware support, which is fine if your computer works now.
