molar

i'm getting a wisdom tooth.

technically, a 'mandibular third molar'.
this extremely painful process, wikipedia tells me, usually results in the growth of oddly angled teeth. which, to avoid complications, are generally removed.

what if i don't want wisdom teeth? i mean, they're entirely unnecessary chewing-wise, and they certainly don't live up to their name!

i don't really have a choice, do i?

How is it, that so many people (including myself) are getting wisdom teeth at the same time? :P

I am also getting one! I mean, I *was*, then it stopped, and now I think it's started again.
It's so horribly painful.
*wails*
But yeah, I agree, they are completely useless.
