while i've never had trouble to date with them, my dentist has finally
convinced me that i should have my wisdom teeth removed:  3 of 'em are
suffering from progressive decay, the 4th (upper left) is mildly
impacted, and if i want adult orthodontics i need the space.

i don't need the horror stories.  i get queasy just remembering the
bad times last summer with my wife's.  i'd like to hear the good stories.
- what did you use to reduce swelling?  pain?
- what sedation did you use?  were you satisfied with it?
- any adult with recent orthodontic work think the extractions will help?
- how do you prepare mentally for this?
- what and how do you eat until things return to normal?

i'm trying to be hopeful, since 3 *are* erupted, and only one root has a
tad of a hook to it.

i trust net.med is right.  there isn't a net.dental.
