      All four of min were like that…man it sucked for a while after getting them removed.

      Hmm. So, I’m 34 and all four of mine are like this. I don’t have any issues other than crowding and crooked teeth. No cavities or fillings. Dentist has never shown any concern about them. “Leave them alone until they’re a problem” since I was a teenager.

      Out of curiously; what’s going on with yours?

      Mine looked like this too, I had all four removed. I tried to endure the pain as much as I could, but it got to the breaking point. There was no Obamacare back then, I had to pay thousands out of pocket.

      Wisdom and Intelligence are clearly two different things. (It’s a D&D joke if anyone took offense)

      I’m 39 and just had mine removed. Two were sideways, the others weren’t. Feels so much better now. They were food traps and I started to get terrible breath.

      For a tooth named “Wisdom”, it is pretty stupid to grow like that

      I had a sideways tooth on the bottom left, and two sideways teeth stacked up on the bottom right. Had top left, top right, and the two stacked up ones removed in one sitting.

      I started coming out of the anesthesia at one point, but was still disconnected to a degree. Literally thought “Wow! That hurts like hell. I’m glad it’s not me.” Then thought along the lines of: wait… it *is* me. Well, I can’t speak because of the tools in my mouth, and if I try to tap the dentist’s arm he might get startled and harm me or himself…

      Thankfully I drifted off again in short order. Recovery wasn’t all that bad. Stayed with a friend for a few days, slept a lot, and watched TV with two corgis lying on my legs. I was given two levels of pain meds and only needed the lower level, which is good because it turns out the higher level meds really mess with my head.

      The left side was left alone for a while because the root was too close to a nerve so I had what they described as a 50% chance of numbness or tingling afterwards with a 50% chance of it being permanent if it happens. They still ended up doing it later, and thankfully I landed on the good side of the odds, with no short or long term effects, over 25 years later.

      I have all four like this. Just had the top two taken out 3 years ago after many years of discomfort.

      The bottom two can’t be removed since they’re too low in my jaw and the root is entangled with nerve endings.

    14. sonygoup on

      Jeez I’m getting pain from mines the other day and in thinking surgery time is near again 🤣. It pains but not bad

    16. YFMAS on

      That’s how mine grew as well. I didn’t appreciate being expected to go to school after getting them cut out of my head.

    17. mightylordredbeard on

      Ah man, you’ve got a sleepy tooth. That boy just laid down and never got back up.

    19. LataCogitandi on

      I had one like this. And the one on the other side was a good 45° angle. In Taiwan, universal healthcare does not cover being put to sleep for dental surgery, only local anesthesia. The operation to remove these two wisdom teeth was one of the most traumatic experiences of my life. Just because it didn’t hurt, didn’t mean I couldn’t feel…or smell…other things.

    22. M_Waverly on

      Mine are similarly impacted and they always ask at the dentist “and they don’t bother you??” Which they don’t, and I guess that’s a good thing because if they ever have to go it’s going to really fucking suck.

    24. 1Carlie1 on

      My bottom ones were the same way, didn’t know they used stitches and pulled them out with my fingers 🥲

    27. BobBelcher2021 on

      I have one of these. It’s buried down so far my dentist said it wasn’t worth trying to remove. I’ve had my other three removed.

      One of those three was impacted on a 45-degree angle and was starting to damage the adjacent second molar. I had to get a root canal and crown on that tooth too.

    31. solidshakego on

      I have one of those too. Would cost me too much to get removed so I’m not removing it.

    32. a-midnight-flight on

      Had one completely horizontal too. Oral surgeon was sweating by the time he finally got it out. Had to get help from another surgeon as well. It didn’t help that I gave such long roots

    34. sarilysims on

      I had two growing like that! I had to have my remaining three removed a couple years ago (I had one removed as a teenager, my roots split and it took FOUR HOURS to complete the procedure).

      Those sideways teeth hurt like hell.

    35. istalri96 on

      I had one like this the oral surgeon who took out the other 3 just didn’t feel like taking this one out so he didn’t. Turned into a huge problem for me a couple years later. Getting that one tooth out had a worse recovery for me than the other 3 being done at once. Absolutely sucked.

    37. killshelter on

      All of mine were like this. Got them removed when I was like 20. Had to go fully under and they had to cut each of them into 4 pieces and drill them out.

      It was awesome, I used to get gnarly headaches from this.

    38. Admiral_Andovar on

      I had two like that. The surgery was a bitch, and then I got dry sockets and it was even more of a bitch.

    39. livens on

      Brings back memories! All 4 of my wisdom teeth looked like this. When they removed them they used a hammer and chisel to crack them into pieces first.

    40. captaincockfart on

      I was on a waiting list for 3 years, got my appointment to take out a tooth exactly like this and then I’m told ‘we currently don’t have the equipment needed to take out your tooth.’ Guess Ol’ Sidey Ways is staying a few months longer.

    41. Biotoze on

      I had one like that too. Dentist cracked that thing into three or four pieces to extract it all. I hope the technology has gotten better.

    42. TheBrianUniverse on

      Have the same condition. It looks weird, but I luckily don’t have problems with them, as they’re not pushing at the others.
