DSIL had his wisdom teeth removed. He was told no chewing. That night
he had a hankering for Taco Bell. Hey the guy has no taste but is a
real sweetheart The next day he was back to eating solids as if the
surgery never happened. DD had hers removed and it was a very different
story. She was sicker than a dog and wanted nothing to do with food. I
have 3 remaining wisdom teeth, one that has partially broken through.
My dentist recommends not removing them because of my age, they aren't
causing an immediate problem, and I bleed excessively. I can agree with
him because I have this little adversion to pain
