Thank goodness - that was my last one. Over the last ten years they have all given me trouble and have been removed. I had just settled in for a long gruesome bought on this last one. The oral surgeon looked down at me and said - " ALL DONE". Was I EVER surprised. He had showed me the x-ray and this tooth had a very twisted, gnarly root system. It took him LESS THAN three minuets to get that tooth out. Money well spent.
Lucky you.
I had mine pulled years ago.
Dentist did one side and both of the wisdoms came out like nothing.
Waited 2 weeks for that side to heal and went in to do the other side.
Holy hell on earth.
The top one came out easy like the first 2.
The last one... Forty years later and I'm still pained when I think of it.
It was impacted.
He had to cut the gum open, chisel it with a real chisel and pull it out splinter by splinter.
You know you're in trouble when the assistant has a look of concern like this one did.
Then he tells her to tell the receptionist to cancel his next few appointments.
Sweat beads on his forehead.
The pain shot wore off while he was still drilling and hammering. It became all too real.
Over two and a half hours in the chair.
My jaw joint hurt for 2 weeks.
After the first extractions I went and did the night shift the same evening.
This time around I missed the rest of the week.
He only billed me the standard charge.
