I went to the hospital last Friday for a dental checkup. I asked the dentist to check my wisdom teeth. Yes, teeth, I have both in left and right. Sad to say both are impacted. It hurts from time to time so I have no choice but to have it extracted to avoid further painful experience. I am scheduled for a minor surgery on September 27. I hope everything will be fine and no complications will arise. Good luck to me and I hope to recover fast.

i haven't experienced having impacted teeth, but what seems to be common in my family is having long "roots" so it's hard for the dentist to take out.

Well I had already have panoramic x-ray to see my entire teeth. Well there is no problem according to the dentist. So I only need to come on the scheduled surgery.

@hereandthere Yes, 2 days i guess. I will have the extraction on Wednesday then take 2 days off (Thursday and Friday). Will report back to work on Monday. I think that is enough rest for me.

Wisdom teeth are really no longer needed @JasperTore and in most cases because human skull size is reducing, they cause more harm than good, so having them pulled is the right thing to do. I had all 4 of mine pulled at the same time. The 2 upper ones were laying sideways with the roots wrapping around the jaw bone.

Only my 2 lower are impacted. The 2 upper are perfectly fine. After extraction I may perhaps have braces to fix my teeth arrangement.

i remember my mother saying something like that happened with my father, and the dentist had to ask his colleagues to help.

I had only 3 wisdom teeth . . . and they said my mouth was too small to carry any more teeth, so they took all of them out (I think I was in my early 20s). I had a pretty good experience with it . . . I even tried to eat a hamburger the next day 
. I hope all goes smoothly and you have a quick recovery!

@JasperTore I've had teeth extracted in my childhood . . . not that anyone gets used to that, but I have had much previous experience, so I sort of knew what to expect. I think you'll be ok

@much2say I see. I have my teeth extracted several times already but no wisdom teeth. So there is a bit of nervousness on me. But I hope to make past this surgery to make myself feel better.

Thank you my friend for sharing your experience. I hope the same happen to me. So that I don't have to apply for a leave and be back at work right away.

Thank you my friend. I hope the same happens to me. I am confident that I will recover fast after the extraction. There is a crowding in my mouth because I got a lot of teeth.

@JasperTore You sound like me! Perhaps this will help with the crowding.

Yes. It was last September 27. I got 2 wisdom teeth extracted from me. I waited for more than 3 hours before I got the operation. I went to the hospital early so that I can avoid the traffic. Also, I live far from the hospital where the operation will be done. The operation was quick. It didn't last for more than 30 minutes. I am good now and not feeling any pain at all.

@JasperTore it is believed that pulling out the wisdom tooth will cause more pain and bleeding. i felt that when mine was extracted
