I got a wisdom tooth out today...with pic

[raymondlin]

So that's both of my upper ones taken out now, this one was about 3 years later than the first one. And it came out just as easy, took about 30 seconds of pulling and it just came out and then she offered it to me (apparently she has to as it's "body parts"). I was a little nervous at first but after about 4 injections of local anesthetic, half of my face was totally numb and didn't hurt one bit.
So here it is !

Its HUGE !

If you really wanna see...click

Wow, that is indeed a lunker! I had 9 teeth taken out at once, including those four wisdom teeth a year or so back.

Can we have something like a penny or nickel to compare the size of it?

 

[PYROphonez]

Sounds like fun (sarcasm). I looked at the picture 3 times. I say you make a necklace out of it.

Remember to put it under your pillow, and the veruca gnome will come and take it away and leave you something else...

lol Hey mrarroyo. I was slated to get braces (still wearing them atm), and so they decided to clear out my mouth;

4 wisdom teeth
4 bicuspid teeth
and 1 ingrown tooth that was on my lower jaw on the inside (they had to use a high-power drill to break it into chunks to get it out)

Took me a whole week to recover, and then some.

I beg for the link to remain in the archives where it can't cause a gag reflex.

Edit. Ray, I know you're capable with PS. A little desaturation and that tooth would be a lot more attractive.

I also wish to protest against the british teeth sterotype. Ill have you know my own teeth are pristine. I take them out every night and polish them to keep them that way too.

30 seconds? You're very lucky. Hope your recovery ends well, and soon.

One of my wisdoms must have taken about 30 minutes total. Lots of pulling didn't help so my dentist had to drill the tooth down into smaller pieces...which he unfortunately still had to yank out individually with the tools.
