Nothing serious enough to interfere with life. I don't think it really matters how big your mouth is; holding the jaw open with all that stuff in there for any length of time is going to lead to soreness. And the fact that someone poked a big needle in there for a while doesn't help! <BR/><BR/>I had 3 wisdom teeth. They were pointed forward instead of up, so they removed them when I was 16. I insisted on being totally out. When the dental surgeon said, 'But why? All we have to do is slit the gums..." I stopped him right there and suggested we'd both be better off if he was in control and I didn't pass out or get sick from thinking about what he was doing. That's always my problem. Overactive imagination. <BR/><BR/>Now -- which of my characters is going to have to go to the dentists?Terry Odellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11610682530545306687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30931389.post-3313419311907455762008-08-27T10:41:00.000-06:002008-08-27T10:41:00.000-06:00Feel for you girl.

On the other hand, have no wisdom teeth.

I have a big mouth (which my hubby will confirm;-)) so I never had to have any teeth pulled - still have all 4wisdom teeth. But a cracked tooth and all the drilling sucks.
