    When I had my wisdom teeth out it went something like this:

    The doctor was asking me which renaissance artists were my favorite, and while I was trying to think that over he stuck the needle in my hand. Then when I went to answer the question I was in the recovery room.

    That's just made me feel faint :?

    Oh god it's going to be HORRIBLEEEEEE!!!!! :cry:

    Okay... maybe you should get local. :shock:

    I now have an appointment for next Monday for a root filling and a scale and polish :(

    To make matters worse, i've also been referred to the hospital for the extraction of my wisdom teeth... possibly under general anesthetic :(

    In 4 months I may have to have crowns and braces...

    I hate my teeth.

    I'm getting all that done during the next two weeks :S At least it makes me feel better to know that I'm not the only dude over 20 that will be using braces ;)

    I'm a dudette! :(

    I'm hoping to have it all sorted in about 3 months, crowns and all. I also hoping I don't have to have braces as it was only mentioned in passing but i'm fearful of the worst :(

    Good luck with your dentistry! :D

    I haven't been to the dentist in.. *does the math* umm.. 4-5 years or so. :shock:

    my teeth are fine, and even though I have been thinking that I should go in for a check-up but I just haven't gotten around to it. yet.

    I've never had much trouble with my teeth - luckily! cause I really do hate going to the dentist. a big reason for it is the fact that my jaw is somewhat troublesome (it makes a weird sound when I eat sometimes and stuff) and I can't always open it as wide as I should at the dentist. :( or I can but it hurts.

    never had to have any fillings or anything done either. :)

    oh, it's hereditary, nothing much that can be done I'm afraid. mainly it's just annoying, like when I open my mouth real wide it sort of "clicks" and then does the same when I close my mouth again. :roll:

    it's not like it's painful or falling off or anything. :D

    EDIT: I've "had it" all my life, the dentist knows the situation.

    I'm going to the dentist tomorrow - not looking forward to it

    I didn't go to the dentist for a few years between ages 18-20 mainly because I couldn't afford it

    Since I started going back I have spent soooo much money on my teeth it makes me sick
