[quote="Deacon";p="611339"]Kuronekosama, how can you have 6 or 8 wisdom teeth[/quote]

Zomg! The witty sarcasm shown by the colored scrolling text is overwhelming! You have certainly turned the tables against me!

Anyhow, I imagine it's along the same lines as people that get a third set of teeth. Unusual, but not impossible.

More than likely they had 6 to 8 molars pulled.

That sounds more like...or 4 wisdom teeth and a couple molars....

What?

Well my coworker said that all six of his were impacted, so that would indicate that they were not regular molars. He didn't really go into details about his father. He mentioned how he had to constantly "irrigate" the giant holes in the back of his mouth until it finally healed.

I bet 4 were his wisdom teeth and 2 regular molars. I had my canines impacted and they had to attach little chains to them to pull them in when I was 17.

that sounds terribly horribly painful.

What he said.

Also, how does that work? Where are the other ends of the chains attached. Is this a slow process or like a 5 minutes thing? I mean bringing the teeth up, not the attaching.

I had this (or something similar) done when I was around 15 or so. My left canine was fully grown but completely horizontal at the very top of my gumline, above the root of my baby canine, which had simply never fallen out. I had braces at the time. So they pulled the baby canine, put a little spring (almost like what you see in a clicking or twisting pen) over the braces wire between the two teeth adjacent to help keep the space open and waiting, drilled a hole in the gum skin over the impacted adult canine, pulled the gum skin apart like the Red Sea (making a "window" in the gum), attached a brace to it, looped a piece of wire over the brace, down around the wire where the spring was holding open a space for it, and twisted it tight like a twistie-tie on a garbage bag to slowly pull the canine down into the waiting gap.

PS It was a shitty couple of months, there for a while.

Oh my god, that sounds sooo uncomfortable. I am so glad that I never had to go through anything like that with my teeth. I just got weak teeth and constantly have cavities to fill. I'm actually in the middle of a series of fillings right now. The dentist was drilling or whatever on Monday and for the first time in a long time, it really hurt. I think it may be bad that I'm used to getting my teeth drilled, or mostly desensitized to it. That sounds still drives me nuts.

deacon you made my teeth hurt! And here I thought I had a horrible experience with my teeth being difficult. Mine was a 10 year process - but I still don't think it was as bad as yours....

My wisdom teeth came in straight and flawless, I can go like a sewing machine for hours on end and I make John Holmes piss in the cubicle when I swagger into the bathroom

Two out of three of these are lies but I'd pick the true one over the other two

I actually had three sets of a couple different teeth come in. I know for sure because the dentist pulled the first one, a new one came in, fell out, and then a new one grew in the same spot. They're all recorded in me dental file somewhere. I just plain have crazy teeth.

three sets of teeth are uncommon, rare even, but not unknown.

I too had an impacted canine tooth - the baby tooth had to be surgically removed and a band fitted around the permenent tooth so it could be pulled into the correct position.

It was highly unpleasant.
