"wisdom teeth"
Dumbest fucking teeth!
I'm german. I didn't pay jackshit to get my wisdom teeth removed. As soon as a dentist deems it medically necessary, it's fully covered by even the most basic health insurance. Even if it's prophylactic.
Call it communism all you want, but it's great.

Yeah, that's the joke. Americans pull wisdom teeth left and right regardless of whether or not it poses a medical risk, it's a part of their culture. Source: https://www.sciencealert.com/no-you-probably-don-t-need-to-get-your-wisdom-teeth-removed-ever
Anyone smart enough to be here knows socialized healthcare is better for people than the alternative.
For me, they said my wisdom tooth was too impacted, so unless it was causing pain O should just leave it because removing it could damage a nerve and leave part of my face numb.
And I'm in the US, and dentists are constantly trying to upcharge you for whitening and other stuff, so I took that warning seriously.

Had six done at once with local anesthesia. Yup, whole two supernumerary teeth.
It sure was an experience that I wouldn't want to experience again.

Someone always profiting from your misery, is why we can't have nice things.
I had them out at 18 in the Navy. At first I didn't want to have it done, but then looking at the X-ray, I was all about it.

Had 4 done at once. Because asthmatic, had to be done at the hospital because of general anesthetic. 2/10
Was told to eat protein rich diet to support healing, but couldn't chew meats like steak for months due to the risk of breaking my jaw. (Big holes left in bones when teeth removed.)
Invented meat smoothie.
1 steak, medium rare Montreal steak spice. 4 slices bacon 1 spicy italian pork sausage 1 chicken thigh deboned. Salt Water Yogurt
10/10 surprisingly good.
You do realize that whey protein shakes are a thing, right?
Not to mention protein from sources other than meat... quinoa, lentils, whole grains, etc.

What a horrible day to be literate
Meat smoothie sounds terrible. Really terrible.
How about the mango mahi mahi smoothie I enjoyed instead.
My doc only takes 2 out at the same time (from one side), so the patient can chew. 4 sounds risky
I had all four done with just a couple benzos and local anesthetic. Granted they were reasonably accessible and not impacted. I have vague recollections of making a pun while they were "elevating" one of the teeth. I don't remember the pun, and that's the worst part.
Even if they only do two at a time, if any of them are impacted into your bones, you won't be able to chew. Something about physics but chewing anywhere in your mouth can cause the weak spot to crack.
Source: I had all 4 removed and one was impacted. Dentist told me I shouldn't be chewing on one 'safe' side cause still can break my jaw.

Both my bottom wisdom teeth were this impacted and my dentist was screaming to take them out now. I didn't and for some reason they decided to both just rotate and ended up fine.
My dad's are like that and he went to a dentist a few years ago that told him "we need to get those out of there". My dad was just like "why? They haven't a problem til now and I'm almost 70." He did not go back to that guy.

Loved when my impacted wisdom tooth that looked closely to that exploded in my jaw in 2019. Great times. Real glad my surgery was in February of 2020.
