Wisdom... by maggiemae

Wisdom...

Wisdom is also the word given to teeth! I had three for 60 years but now… I have four!
At the age of 77 my 4th wisdom tooth decided to make an appearance a couple of months ago! It started as a tiny piece of tooth coming through the gum but now the full base of the tooth is there! My tongue can’t leave it alone!

Thankful for::
My wisdom is now at least 25% better! I may go into the Guiness Book of records for the wisest person at my age!
And here I thought you were already the wisest person! That is quite astonishing Maggiemae, it would be intetesting to hear what your dentist has to say 😉

@ludwigsdiana I am NOT going to the dentist, Diana. They will invariably suggest taking it out (smashing it, ie.) My research says don't take it out if it is not causing any problems!

Goodness me. The British Army tore all my wisdom teeth out 11 weeks after I joined up. Not sure why, but they did.

@phil_sandford That's weird! Keep 'em ignorant....maybe!

LOL!! I had two taken out, two left in. One has a bit of a push now and then, the other one actually grows sideways deep in the gum. It's most weird to see it on xrays as it looks like a burrowing mole under the other teeth!

Haha. I like how you interpret what happened. Probably He took mine and added them to yours by mistake,

Ha ha! I must say I have never heard of a person cutting their wisdom teeth after early adulthood. Wow!

@happypat It was fun decorating the W! Had to put an elephant for the memory part of wisdom.

That is an amazing story. Maybe it should be in the Guinness Book of World Records. Love the photo you created.

@shutterbug49 Originally, I thought that as a person aged 62 was expected to be a record! Then I found a 92 year old woman! She had one come through and it affected her false teeth! She was advised to keep the real tooth and get new false teeth!

@sarah19 Well its not always good...if they are impacted, there can be quite a few painful problems! Just be happy that nothing is happening there!
