[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 308415, member: 7083"] Abbey, I had the top ones out 12 years ago, but the bottom ones weren't an issue in my mouth...until recently. All the medications I'm on cause dry mouth to an extent and that leads to more cavities. And with them being so far back and hard to get to to brush.....it needed to go. It is still bleeding a small bit, but a blood clot has formed. There wasn't one there when I went to bed last night, so that's a good thing. That means the healing process has started and means no dry socket as long as it stays put. The good news about waiting so long to have them removed? They went from going to have to be surgically removed to just an extraction. I was rather attached (no pun intended) to my wisdom teeth. I always had a space between my front two teeth that my brother was merciless about in teasing me...called me "gap" and would walk around going, "choooo choooo" cause he said I had a gap big enough to drive a train through. :rofl: Of course, I wasn't laughing at the time. PITA. But the wisdom teeth closed it and keeping them as long as I did, meant that it stayed closed. [/QUOTE]
