perhaps i ought to have them taken out.... but my years of agony visiting the dentist every so often to have my braces tighten left a permanent scar... i won't have anything come into my mouth cavity unless it is absolutely necessary. wisdom apparently appeared (asymmetrically) in the form of two calcium-enamel-bony protrusions when i was still in Germany. one of them probably annoyed one of my trigeminal nerves so much i had to deal with its appearance at the dental clinic..... in pigeon German then, i realised that everyone has their wisdom teeth removed by default. but why? what's the reason? surely there's enough space? i am sure my dentist accounted for that when she 'engineered' the 'big pull'?!?!??!? i managed to secure my temporary escape from that agonising thought and reality of having my mouth held wide open and steel poking into gums to remove those wretched wisdoms!... i brought the x-rays with me when i returned to visit my family and friends that winter break and showed it to my dentist (whom i have seen since i was a wee toddler).... to my horror... she said i ought to have them taken out! WHY? i blurted... why? they only appear above and not below she reasoned and there's no point having the upper without the lower... see? they don't show up below in the x-rays, she pointed out to me... Arggh...NO! no surgery please...? not while i am on vacation! i was spared again .... but not now.... the other sneaky fellow is coming out and it's telling me it's coming out, it's coming out! my gums are hurting again... they are bleeding...and it's because wisdom is piercing through them and coming to stay. ouwww.... :C(
