I just had a "Gum Graft" the other day. For those of you fortunate enough to have never had one this is where the crazy doctor thinks you don't have enough gum tissue in a certain area so he carves a chunk out of the roof of you mouth and stitches it to the spot supposedly lacking tissue. The worst part is getting novacane injected into the roof of your fucking mouth! JESUS! This time I just had only one spot done but last time I had THREE done a once. I'm suprised there was anything left of the roof of my mouth! That time the damn quack forgot to put novacane in the right spot in my mouth and sliced it without thinking!!!!! I HATE THAT GUY!!! AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

Another thing that blows is getting your wisdum teeth taken out:mad: any of you have the pleasure of that?:(
As the most highly evolved of beings I have no wisdom teeth! :) But seriously, my brother had 4 wisdom teeth and he got em all removed, he bled all over my guitar scale bible :(
Did you know you can die from getting your wisdom teeth removed!:eek:

Another thing that sucks about a gum graft is you can hear the roof of you mouth getting gut... YUCK! and the is tons O blood on the doctors hands :cry:
 
I'm very lucky with my mouth health. Never had a cavity, or anything like that. It's the only good thing my dad ever did for me, gave me a good mouth.
 
Yeah, I've only had one cavity in my entire life. I think I ate too much candy one summer or something. :/ I also haven't had the pleasure of wearing braces like most kids now. Yay for my teeth! :D
 
I had a tooth that came out of the roof of my mouth,
so i had to get it cut out and moved into
its correct position. I also had to pull another tooth.
Atleast i don't have any wisdom teeth.

I had the same thing, except they made no attempt to relocate the tooth, it fuckin hurt like bloody hell. At least when I left I was drugged up pretty good.:)
 
My teeth story is a long one, which i'm bored enough to type put :D

Ok so, even before I started losing my baby teeth, I had crookedass teeth, I had BUCK teeth, like a fucking rabbit. This caused me to get made fun of all the time and I had no luck with the (5 year old) ladies.

So I finally started losing those bastard teeth, I was so happy I was losing them, but my happiness was premature. It turned out my adult teeth were growing in behind and in front of my baby teeth. So naturally, my adult buckteeth grew in front of my baby buck teeth, so I had to get novacained up and they ripped those things out, which was cool for a few months, until my adult teeth came in bucked :mad:

I at this point looked like a shark/rabbit, I had teeth growing in rows, and my buck teeth. I still got made fun of a lot for my teeth, and if anyone didn't like me they held it against me. So EVERYTIME I went to the dentist i'm like "When can I get braces, I need braces please!" And he's like "THREE MORE YEARS" or some bullshit like that. I lived with my damn buckteeth until the middle of 6th grade. I was told I could finally get braces, with one catch.

I had too many fucking molars or something, so I had to get four molars pulled! (adult ones of course) I get into the dentist, i'd been novacained up a lot before so I thought I knew what I was in for, oofff courrseee not. He gets the novacaine out, I think I got shot up with about 10 shots of novacaine. I couldn't even feel my fucking face by this point, but I could feel the metal pliers SCREECHING HORRENDOUSLY off my teeth when he kept missing :mad: :eek: :mad: :mad:

Imagine this, you see the pliers go in, and you feel pressure, then you hear a *SKKKREEECCCKKKCRACKCK* and your bone and jaw vibrate and you tremble, and you hear "OOPS". I was like stop pulling my teeth out ahhh i'm going to die. Then when they pull it out right, you feel the root of it coming out, and you see the thing, it's like got a 6cm root on it and it's covered in blood, so disgusting. Finally after 10 skreeches later and four teeth pulled, i'm done. When you're novacained you can never swallow correctly let alone drink, so naturally they make me drink orangejuice (WTF?!?) I "drink" the orangejuice, when I say drink, I mean I poor it all over my shirt.

"Ok, stand up" I stand up and am all dizzy and feel like shit.

I finally get my braces for like two years since my teeth were so bad. By the middle of 7th grade my teeth were fine. In 8th grade I got braces off and had to wear retainer all the time. I STILL have to wear that fucking thing at night :mad:
 
This is nice to read all of this since I've got dentist tomorrow morning.

I've never had any teeths moved or anything like that. But I have experiences of braces, in fact I'm wearing ones now. AND I HATE THEM WITH ALL OF MY HEART :mad: :mad: :cry: Those white-dressed lying bastards said I'm going to wear those for a year. I never wanted them in a first place, but a year...yeah, I can handle it. And I looked like a rabbit too. Now...seven years later....what, do I have to drink acid or something to get them off?? My teeth are all straight, I'm happy with them...but still they're keeping these damn braces in my mouth :mad: :bah: This treatment has been free for me but soon I'll have to start paying for it. Yeah right.

And this retainer...I'm not quite sure what it is...but I think I'm getting one after they take these braces off...which is going to take somewhat long time..

Maybe I should bite my dentist's finger tomorrow...he deserves it..
 
I had braces in high school. so one weekend im cutting wood with a chainsaw. idiot me had taken my retainer out and put it in my chest pocket. i bend over to finish cutting up this tree and out falls my retainer and lands on the tree under my chainsaw blade. CHOP! CHOP! CHOP! needless to say i dont have a retainer anymore and never bothered getting one again.
 
I've never had braces, even though I sort of need them.... but my dad is too damn cheap for me to get them (even though I wouldn't want them) As for wisdum teeth removal, goddamn I hated it!! first.... they inject a freakin' needle into your arm and then your like, "oh.... that wasn't too bad".... and then you end up in trippy happy place land where you don't care what they are doing to you.... and after it is done.... you get woken up and then your in pain at home for a couple of weeks and you have to stuff gauz in your mouth to soak up all the freakin' blood that is oozing out, and then after the pain and blood is gone, you need to be careful not to get food caught in the stinky holes in your mouth.... woohoo=p
The last thing I will say is just watch that ren and stimpy episode where ren's teeth rot and you will brush your teeth forever lol

Hope I didn't gross too much of you out=p okay..... i'm done i'm tired......
 
MY pops is a Dentist! it is the coolest thign ever, and something i am seriously considering doing. I got to assist my dad once when he did like a FULL reconstruction of this girls mouth. It took 8 hours but it was like a MIRACLE how he fixed them! like they were BLACK AND POINTY AND CROOKED and then he finished and she had nice pearly whites! it really literally blew my mind (ok so not literally). But anyway yeah some dentists are no good. But for the most part they get a bad rap and people don't realized that there is o other way around it if you need to get things fixed.

Oh and Kush, make sure you FLOSS. flossing is key, if you had FLOSSED regularly you prolly wouldn't had needed that graft Poison Godmachine. It is flossing which saves your gums from receding. And RECEING GUMS means that the teeth fall out later in life. You will have no problems at all though until like 35 years old, that is the tricky part, all will seem normal but if you don't floss when you're younger even if it doesn't seem like your gums are damaged they will be unhealthy. Oh and did i mention my sister is a hygenist? muahahah!!!! if i do go into dentistry we will be A TRIO OF DOOM!!!! SDRGDRBJIKKIBY<ergrytn54784 6fghnfyujmf

What are you getting done tomorrow ~Zeanra~ (Braces removed?). Except for that gummy thing and wisdom teeth, most dental ops themselves are pretty painless nowadays. As a matter o' fact less than I month ago I got 11 (Count 'em...11 ) fillings (I think the dentist was making a 'mountain out of a mole hill', so she could charge more, 'cos over half of them were so ridiculously small they hardly even registered)

They did this over the course of about 3 weeks (I guess they didn't want to drug up my entire face and do a marathon session), but yeah, they have anesthetising these days nearly down to an art form...

But still you have to admit, if you're going in to finally get a retainer, it's a definite step up from braces, isn't it? :D

Post Edit: @Bumblefoot/'s Dad: Does everyone get wisdom teeth? I'm 20 now and most of my friends who got them, got them whne they were 19-20. So am I just a slow-poke or do I have nothing to worry about?
 
I'm 22 Spike and my wisdom teeth are just now poking through, even though my friends have already gotten theirs removed. So I guess there is such a thing as a late bloomer.

Since everyone's so interested (haha), I've had eight teeth pulled, I had braces for 8 years, and I've never had a cavity. See? ---> :D
