Answer 2

Wisdom teeth are a curse. I hate you wisdom teeth.

Answer 3

Yes, it is normal, though , it is harder on you to be older when you have them removed, when you are younger the roots are not completely formed that makes them easier to extract. I am sorry to say as we get older we don't bounce back as easily. If you are going to a good oral surgeon that will make things better, I would ask for some references and make sure other people have had good experiences with the surgeon. If he comes highly recommended you should be just fine..and could someone answer mine (dentist plz help) I am freaking out http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;...
