Another tooth lighter, and dumber.
Had my second wisom tooth pulled about ten minutes ago. Nothing on earth is as valuable as a good dentist and a good oral surgeon.
Not sure why, but when he hit me with the novocaine it didn’t seem to numb the tooth in question. All around it was numb, but not the tooth itself. So I felt every wrench and yank, but as he was done in about ten seconds, what pain there was was over so quickly I couldn’t complain.
I wish they’d let me keep the tooth. I think it would have been cool to wear around my neck. With the ears.

The ears thing is way overrated.
They look just like dried apricots after a few weeks.
That’s what I’ve heard anyway.
You have to dry them in natron. they retain their original shape and size then.
Ears? Your tooth had ears? What?
You still have wisdom teeth? Amazing.
Ten seconds to remove? Astounding.
You were awake during the removal? Scary.
My teeth are just way too anchored in my little head. I’m jealous. Glad your OK.
I still have two wisdom teeth. One that is slowly creeping from a horizontal position to the vertical position by wedging itself against my back molar, and another one that juuust showed up as a tiny blip on the radar a couple weeks ago. Which is no surprise, because I only cut my second wisdom tooth ten years ago.
I don’t envy you.
I have a serious fear of dentists.
You had your ears removed????
I came back from a mission once and lots of people around the base p.o. had swollen cheeks. Someone I knew was getting her mail and had the same condition. I asked her what was up? There was a new dentist on base and everyone was getting their wisdom teeth pulled like it or not.
That’s when my med records disappeared.
Ouch, ouch, ouch! I feel for you.
I have just had dental work done,but nothing as painful as yours.
Actually, this still really wasn’t bad. It’s a bit tender this morning but I’m FAR more irritated by not being able to eat what I want.
I had all four of my wisdom teeth removed about 3 years ago, including one where probably 90% of the part above the gumline was gone. World’s biggest cavity, I guess, but I didn’t realize it, because it never hurt. Go figure.
Anyway, the dentist did conscious sedation. They stick a needle in your arm, you say “my, that’s cold going in,” and you wake up in bed a couple hours later. The only way to have it done.
