Wisdom Teeth Removal: What's in my Mouth?

I was talking with an old family friend who's about 40.  He's going to the oral surgeon for a consult this week to finally have his wisdom teeth removed.  All four are impacted, and they have bothered him for a long time.  I don't know why he's waited this long.  The procedure is going to be awful for him.

To give him an idea of how loopy he's going to be after his surgery, I started showing him wisdom teeth videos.  I probably watched this video about 20 times yesterday.  I find it just as funny each time I watch it.  The debilitating effects of general anesthesia.  Clearly for some, it's like pressing ctrl-alt-delete for your brain.

The look on the girl's face when the mom asks, "Are you ready to go in the house?", is pure gold.

I remember when I had mine out, my cousin's boyfriend was there at the same time.  We were in rooms across the hall from one another, and kept cracking jokes right up until they put us under.  Then I drank milkshakes and ate Spaghettios for a week.

Pretty sure I was nothing like the girl in the video, but thankfully my parents didn't videotape me... so we'll never know.

GAUZE!
