Wisdom teeth

[TimberWolf]

I've kept all mine ... but then I have the face of a Neanderthal.

Still time yet.

[bless 'em all]

Still time yet.

No, the time has come and gone.

I'm 86 and still got all me own teeth y'know.

I was a pilot during the war .........

Not sure if it's still a secret, but MF hasn't really been on vacation.
He has been in hospital having his wisdom teeth put in

Good luck vectra, you have my empathy. Tooth pain is one of the worst pains one can ever feel. Clove oil as another poster said is great.

Last year I had a bottom wisdom tooth removed (couldnt remove the other as it would damage the nerve) along with all my bottom molars and all my top teeth/roots under a general. My jaw was swollen and like KP, I was sick afterwards. Painkillers from the hospital didnt really help and I was sore for a week, then the week after as the stitches wiggled loose it was a whole new pain.

I always have sympathy for anyone having wisdom teeth or a gum clearance done as it's horrid!

and there's me thinking losing one tooth would be bad. I suspect vectra has healed up a bit by now though.

Garlic is rumoured to help too (as is brine)...and there's loads of fresh free wild garlic to be found woodland at the moment.

Ooops only just saw that this was a dug up thread - Hope he hasnt had any further problems then.

Yea it did hurt a lot, but I would recommend it over multiple crown/root canals or screw ins. Had em all out and now got a single top denture piece and a single bottom one that fits around my bottom front real teeth. It is such a relief not having constant infections or pain.

I've never tried garlic. I have heard weed is supposed to be good for it but not a great idea if one is law abiding or like most of us, driving every day to a site!

My local wood has tonnes of it up for grabs at the moment, soon to be blooming in a resplendent flowery spectacular. Ancient woodland is supposed to be best. Thieve some bulbs in autumn (they are about a foot down so a shovel is needed) and transplant and they may well invade your garden. I sometimes eat stems when I walk past them, as they are less garlicy than the leaves and are quite young and succulent at the moment.

I had EO down as more of a truffle man.

I don't have any top wisdom teeth so they were never a problem. I had my bottom ones removed when I was 23 at London Teaching Hospital under sedation. They clamped my mouth so wide open during the op that every time I yawned for the next six months I could feel it start to dislocate.
