[quote name='The Successful Dropout']glad to see another success story....as said plenty of times, i'm still waiting to get mine done....i had a consultation or whatever about 2 months ago and was told to call whenever i was ready to have it done, but it would be nearly a month-long wait from the day i called...so i called a week ago and the doctor who was supposed to do it doesn't work there any more....i just better not have to pay for another consultation
anyways....did anyones ears hurt really bad while their wisdom teeth were in? mine hurt and if i open my mouth wide enough, they pop a little....i think my wisdom teeth are pretty

ing long.....another thing, when i put my fingers in my ears and than open my mouth, i can feel my earholes squeezing shut and hard on my fingers...i dont know if this is odd or if it's normal and something that ive never thought about doing until this....yeah, i know...i'm weird[/QUOTE]
I remember slight discomfort in my ears, like the discomfort in a change in pressure when flying. I had my top two out 7 or 8 years ago. The roots were so long the oral surgeon said the roots were all the way up into the sinus cavity. I only had local anesthetic for the surgery. Big mistake. Get knocked out. It sucked watching the surgeon trying to get a good foothold as he ripped my teeth out (piece by piece) with tools that looked like nothing more than a pair of visegrips. Hearing your teeth break off inside of your skull has to be the worst sound I've ever heard. So, yeah, if you get a choice get knocked out for the whole thing.
Then there was the pain afterwards. I had back surgery a year before the wisdom teeth thing. And believe me I would have gone through a dozen back surgeries if it meant not getting my other two wisdom teeth out (which I've been told have deeper roots than the top did, which is why I haven't and won't have them removed). It felt like I got hit in the face with a baseball bat -- aluminum -- and swung by the biggest steroid jacked creatine filled MLB All-Star out there.
After that, I spit out blood and clots for a couple weeks, and wished I was dead more than a few times. Once the gaping holes fill in, and my mouth got used to the new countours, it wasn't so bad. And hey, at least I got some Vicodin out of the deal.
It all depends on the patient and the surgeon. Some people have short roots, and they can be moved with little to no trouble at all.
