Completed a set and got a tooth removed.

I got dental anxiety from being a kid in the 80s XD Dentistry has changed so much since then. I specifically go to a dentist for phobic people now and got the tooth removed by my actual dentist and not a scary stranger! It was a bottom wisdom tooth for me too, and its the first time I have ever had stitches!

I have a genuine fear of ever needing a root canal. I hope it never happens

I hated my dentist as a child. I wish I had my current dentist back then. They seem to be good with children. As soon as a was 18 I didn't go to the dentist anymore until it was really bad.

Root canal wasn't bad for me. The nerve was completely dead so I didn't feel anything.

Dang, I hate going to the dentists too. It’s so scary. Last time I went I cried and that was back in college. I just can’t deal with anything health related

Heal up well, I hope it went okay! And your new set looks great! Your new tooth ponies will help you through recover

Oh man, we’re taking about wisdom teeth?

I got all four taken out at one time and I don’t remember the week afterwards cause I was on so many pain killers xD

I cannot imagine taking them all out at once :S OMG no! I am limited on the type of pain killers I can have too, because of my asthma :/

When I was little, I got four or five primary teeth removed at one time because they were in the way of new teeth It's a wonder I'm not afraid of dentists considering how many times I had teeth problems as a kid and teen...

I had all four wisdom teeth removed years ago. They were all impacted and two were completely sideways. One didn't come out easily, so I was left with a dry socket. Shredded clove packing is amazing for pain relief and helps get the swelling down. Your dentist should have it. You can also use a drop of clove oil to help the gum pain.

Hopefully you heal up fast. It's actually surprising how fast mouth stuff heals!

Do you have the Fancy pants first tooths and Baby Crumpet?

Do we consider purple Valentines twin a first tooth? Or the high priced baby TAFs? These are questions I ask myself for set completing - where to stop.

Thankyou SO MUCH for the clove oil recommendation! It's been so helpful to take the edge off, I will be suggesting it to others in future!

I'm glad it helped! Pain meds don't work on me, so I needed an alternative. Clove is an old remedy for dental and oral ulcer pain relief.
