I need to do the research on the evolutionary story on wisdom teeth. Why do we have them if we have to get them taken out?
I had two impacted wisdom teeth taken out in college and in my dentists infinite, money grubbing, wisdom he left the other two in. Two teeth with no opposing teeth that don't get well cared for and get filled every so often ...
I need 2 crowns and had a bad wisdom tooth so ... today I am without wisdom teeth.
I've never had laughing gas before -- that was fun. The most fun I had today. I think the surgeon almost put her knee on my chest when she tugged and pulled and repositioned my jaw to remove those two, deep rooted suckers.
How barbaric! I was just envisioning that the surgery I had today looked and felt about the same as it did 100 years ago! Although we now have reliable ice and painkillers ... well, I guess some laudunum would have worked.
Anyway, no tally of the day because I spent the day with throbbing holes in my mouth.
