I did have 33 teeth about 5 years ago. Now down to 28, after having 5 wisdom teeth removed.

Timely question. I will be back to a full set of gnashers when I have 3 implants done over the next 6 months or so.

All expect two wisdom tooth.

Lovely experience, had them done during lockdown but only after they allowed the dentists to be opened. I managed to get emergency anti-biotics during lockdown.

Anyway

... Anaesthetic failed on one of them, so I had the choice being held down or sent to hospital. So they held me down.

Afterwards the assistant was crying :)

They pumped me with so much that after they got it out, I asked for the rest (other tooth and filling) to wait till later.

I hadn't even realised they had done the rest because I couldn't even sense anything in my mouth. JUST the pain on that one nerve.

I had an implant at the back to replace the tooth I lost that was next to the wisdom tooth that also was taken out.
Done about 10 years ago. Although expensive it's one of the best things I ever had done. Keeps everything else in balance and prevents top rear teeth coming out

About 5 years ago I was fine except every time I went to the dentist/hygienist I had a back molar that would flare up after they had poked around so they would give me antibiotics and it would settle down. They told me this wasn't good and I should get it sorted as I didn't want to loose 'the tooth'.

It would be, from memory 2K-3K to drill through my jaw to sort it and wasn't covered by the Insurance I have. Upon further questioning, it turned out this 'tooth' we were trying to 'save' was a root canal filling with a post and a crown on top ! I had it taken out so now have one less tooth than I started with, whatever that number is :shrug:

Had a filling on a front tooth replaced today, 15 mins. She said do you want it numbed and I said 'no what's the worst that can happen?'

I actually frighten myself at how hard I am these days :wink:

you must be very wealthy :beaming smile
I believe/hope most of it will be paid for by the German healthcare. I get the financials through this week and then I discuss it with the insurers. I understand they’re good with this as once it’s done…those teeth won’t need much/any further attention.

My upper jaw is very thin and won’t take an implant; they will have to do a “sinus lift” and construct some extra jaw bone. I’m pondering this as it seems quite brutal.
