This little cunt of mine tended to inflame every other month instead of teething already. I decided to remove it, and I ended up spending almost 2 hours in surgery because it had fused into another tooth. Instead of coming out cleanly, it broke and a few fragments were left behind

Doc said it was okay to leave it as it would be absorbed or come out again eventually. Almost a year later, and the little prick sends his regards by inflaming my face completely and having to rush to surgery again.

Hopefully it was the end of that. Fuck this SOB

For anybody who thinks that animals in their natural environment are all happy...yeah imagine living for decades without any sort of dental care. Evolution is about surviving, not thriving.

Human mandible shrank a bit the last millenia, probably thanks to the rise of agricolture and easily chewable food, but that left less space for teeth to grow properly

Evolution meant to tell you to get out of the gene pool.

Mine were growing directly sideways. I'm an evolutionary failure.

Well, see, your mistake is brushing your teeth and living past 30. If your back molars were properly rotten enough to gracefully pop out when the wisdoms grew in, and then you died before that one rotted and you couldn't chew anymore, you wouldn't have any problems.

Literally.

It's because humans in the wild would lose teeth by that time and need more.

Evolutionarily, it only matters that you reproduce.

Pre-dentistry, a bunch of your teeth would have fallen out before your wisdom teeth came in. There would have been space for the wisdom teeth so they wouldn't need to come in sideways.

This is what gets me about the sentiment of "humans lived for hundreds of thousands of years without toothpaste/sunscreen/antibiotics/vaccines/etc and we were just fine!"

My dude, we were most definitely not fine. A lot of people died painful and preventable deaths, many of them children, and we're around today because existing that way was just good enough to keep us going as a species.

Can still hear the sound of them breaking it to get it out

Me: does nothing

Evolution: fuck you

Your jaw got smaller and you stopped loosing teeth so fast. It's your own fault, really.

Born without wisdom teeth...

Not sure if that makes me more evolved or less lol

Pre-anethesia, you mean. There were dentists around for a long time, but I don't think you would've enjoyed being their patient...

my wisdom teeth surgery was the best sleep ive ever had

Oh yes, the Geological Faultocalized inside my mouth. I had four of them.

I saw the X-ray of my own jaw and they wanted to remove my wisdom teeth and were asking if they hurt (they don't) because they are fully sideways and apparently pressing against a nerve.

I ain't paying for that shit. They don't bother me. I don't care how gnarly it looks; it's unnecessary and expensive.
