I got my final two wisdom teeth pulled out today. Half my face is still numb from the Novocaine, and the dentist gave me a 'script for 2 dozen Vicodin.

They gave me the teeth to keep. The hell am I supposed to do with these?

They pulled mine out in pieces after they cracked them in my jaw to get them out. Vicodin did nothing for me.

I had 5 teeth removed in the past 5 years. Two of them left a significant gap on my lower jaw.

I'd say keep them just to remind your kids that something will go wrong.

You can carve some elk teeth into ivory jewelry. Maybe you can do the same with yours.

That's just weird.

Mine came out fairly easily. Surprisingly so, since I had been missing half of the upper wisdom tooth for two years.

I haven't used my Dremel in awhile... Hmm.

I think so too. I guess you should put them under your pillow to see if the Tooth Fairy is for real.

If you save them in a special container sealed with wax, while they remain untouched inside it, you will never grow old. But beware, if someone finds the container and opens it, then suddenly the weight of all the intervening years will fall upon you.

I'd be more tempted to put them under my bench seat to see if the Truck Fairy is real.

Had all four of mine taken out at once.......they had to use a hammer and chisel to break the lower two into pieces before they removed them. Afterwards, when I went back into the waiting room, I was a mess-had blood on my shirt......my wife passed out and I had to get my mother-in-law to come pick us both up.

Fortunately, I have a buddy that's a doctor, he prescribed me extra Vicodin after I ate my first prescription like candy. They've been out for 25 years.....I still remember how much it freaking hurt.
