    Ha! I had my wisdom teeth pulled when I was 20, at my second duty station. My wisdom teeth didn’t rise above the gums until a few months prior and they were already rotten (I don’t know how that happened).

    The dentist sowed the sockets shut on all four of them and I didn’t have any problems whatsoever. When I recently had all my upper teeth pulled, none were sewed shut and it took three days for the big molar holes to stop bleeding.

      Hi RT … Justins are still bleeding a bit, but he seems to feel a little better today, and he’s actually eating regular food, so I’m hoping it all turns out good.

    Hi Todd, how is Justin doing? I remember that when mine came out many moons ago, they did first one side (Top and bottom teeth at the same time) and a week or ten laters the other side. I looked for nearly a month like a little rabbit that had munched too much grass, so swollen was my face. SY

      Hi Sybil … he’s fine now, we went back for the follow up visit on Thursday, and they gave him the the little syringe to shoot water into holes so food doesn’t get stuck back there. Other than that, I think the biggest challenge is going to be making sure he remembers to finish taking all of the antibiotics that they gave him to start on the day of the surgery :-)
