go to dentist for one filling and come home with two...my first ever. :sad One was in a wisdom tooth and she just wanted to take it out but since it was fine otherwise and I'm too much a wimp for that just yet I just had it filled. :lol:

Do you actually have room for your wisdom teeth??

oddly I have a small mouth but yes. I have perfectly straight teeth and never had braces. Thanks to Dad :rofl
this is actually only the second time I've been to a dentist since I remember. The last time was maybe 6 years ago just before they came in. I know I'm suposed to go more often but I hate it...

Good lord, I would say you're lucky then. My mother only went as an adult, at the urging of my father when they met in college. She came out with 22 fillings. The end result being I have gone to the dentist every 6 months since I was 4 years old. The same one, no less. I don't even live in the same country with him anymore, but I book the appointment 6 months in advance, and come back for them. Bonus - I have zero fear of them.

Edited to add - I missed ONCE - promptly got the only filling I've ever had when I went back in. Never again.

I'm congenitally missing a set of premolars, so as a result I had room to keep my wisdom teeth. They came in retarded with very deep sulci (is this word used in reference to teeth?) so I've had fillings in 2 of them and nowhere else (even though I've only had them in my mouth for a fraction of time I've had the rest of my teeth). So I conclude that wisdom teeth suck--good luck with yours.
