What bits are you missing? - Page 2

I've heard that sometimes people don't have wisdom teeth. In my case they never surfaced but were threatening my other teeth. I went completely under for removal, having been given a choice. I did not need to go though what I went through with my teeth as a kid and young adult. It was constant, it seemed. Orthodotic appts were just another thing to do during the week, as they tried to fix me.

Depends on your genetic background.

Quote:

Different human populations differ greatly in the percentage of the population which form wisdom teeth, ranging from 0.2% in Bantu speakers to nearly 100% in Mexican Indians.

Sadly, I had all four of the damn things and they all had to come out. I wasn't put fully under for the procedure -- doc said I was awake and aware the entire time. Along with the nitrous, they administered a drug that blurred my mind enough that none of the memories of the incident remained. ...which is a very good thing, being that the procedure involved a hammer and chisel.

All original equipment still intact. Some of it fused together but intact nonetheless.

4 teeth when I was a teen, for over crowding as well. Then my 4 wisdom teeth later on..... no other bits on me. However I have 2 friends that have BOTH had heart transplants. One, as a child, then AGAIN in his 20's. The other in his 30's. Cool people, cool stories. The one that had his transplant woke up after the drug induced coma on 9/11!!! he thought to himself..." great I finally get a chance on life, and world is blowing up!" He also says he now likes things he didn't before, such as mushrooms.... hated them before, no loves them.

Tonsils/adenoids (what a fucking ripoff! they told me tales of limitless ice cream I got nada. that's where the trust went south)
Lower wisdom teeth
Two lower incisors maybe some upper incisors, I was pretty out of it...

and that's it, as far as I know. Wait, what the?

HOLY SHIT my fucking foreskin is gone! Those bastards!

I got yer missing cornea, right here. About 700 nanometers of it (times two,) which is a lot when you're talking about removing cornea. In fact, I must not have any more removed with future surgeries, lest my eyeball get too thin.

I'll toss in an appendix for the cause - lost it about .... wow 10 years ago.

monster · 03-07-2009, 09:59 PM

A few slivers of cornea

A couple of discs between the vertebre in my neck are gone, along with the obligatory tonsils and wisdom teeth.

monster · 03-07-2009, 10:14 PM

I lost a bit of my skull during a surgery to lasso a tooth into place. It's not much, but I'll add it to the cause.
