After I got my wisdom teeth pulled, I stayed in bed for like two weeks.

At that point, my mom realized I wasn't sick or anything so why the heck wasn't I getting out of bed :-I

I got knocked out for my wisdoms cuz my dad's insurance was still decent. Albiet I hD complications. I ended up with severe infections That needed additional stitches that didn't dissolve :twonk:

Now for getting abscessive teeth pulled I had local only. I'm allergic to laughinggas so that was NOT an option. It was not fucking fun getting jabbed in the roof of my mouth :gonkity:

I swear when I win a quarter of a million lottery I will get fugging implants and be done with dentists! :-I

The last time I listened to that song was about 9 hours ago and it's time for my daily listen. Thanks for the reminder! :v:

Always a pleasure :jingo:

I had my wisdom teeth pulled two at a time, so I could still eat and it wasn't too obnoxious. I didn't realize people did all 4 at the same time :ponder:

I had all four of mine removed about three years ago. They were taken out just a week before I left on a vacation, which was one of the dumbest things ever as it made it incredibly hard to enjoy anything due to the pain and lack of ability to eat decent food. It was a two week trip so thankfully by the end my mouth was a bit better, although one week after I returned home I had a convention to go to, and on the morning of the first day I suddenly woke up with a searing pain in my mouth again. :bluh:

Overall it was a crappy experience, although at least it's one of those things that you only have to deal with once. :v:

My widom teeth came out pretty easily, and I never had any trouble keeping them clean, but right after I had them out, I went on a trip to a cabin in the mountains. Surrounded by barbecue and burgers and hot dogs and all kinds of stuff.

My wisdom teeth removal was horrible agony after the sockets dried out and oh god why and I am so glad it's years in the past now.

I don't mind going to the dentist but I hate dental work because my two major procedures both resulted in large amounts of nausea and/or extreme pain.

I live! :party: My lower lip is all swollen and numb, and I've got gauze in my cheeks, but the swelling will go down soon enough, and spending the rest of the day lazing about should get the bleeding to a point where I won't need the gauze anymore. It was surprisingly pleasant, all things considered. :yay:

Thanks everybody! :party:

They're the third molars, the ones that come in in our early 20s, hence their name. Due to humans evolving a shorter, flatter face, there isn't much room in the jaw for them, which is why they often have to be removed.


I wonder if ponies have similar dentition troubles. If they evolved from regular horses then maybe they do.

Good to hear it was uh... "Pleasant!" Hope you recover fast, and it sounds like you will! :party:

And Fizz, Wouldn't that mean we need Pony Dentists which haven't been proven to exist? :ponder: (We do know they have advanced surgeons though so there probably is a Pony Dentist. :v:)

It always could be worse. My brother had an extra wisdom tooth growing in one corner of his mouth, on top of them coming in impacted. What a freak.

I was told repeatedly that it didn't seem like I had any wisdom teeth, but if I did, I've have room for them.
Then one trip to the dentist they suddenly say "Oh, you were never X-rayed for wisdom teeth? We need to do that! Oops, looks like you do and they're impacted and you'll have to undergo major oral surgery."

Given the rest of Equestria's medical technology, I don't think ponies would be without dentists. Having seen ponies like Hayseed Turniptruck, we already know they don't have magically perfect teeth or anything.

Point made, and I would figure that was the case, especially after seeing Pinkie try to be an assistant to a doctor.

Now... Is it me, or has Equestrian technology been advancing quite rapidly? I mean we go from horse powered trains, to steam powered trains in a few episodes...

I think the pony powered train was only in the first season, when they didn't really have the full mechanics of Equestria yet.

I always thought the steam powered train from S2 was to sell toys while- well, from a toy perspective, who would want to buy 6-8 ponies and attach it to a train that looks like an everyday train when it can look like something from Willy Wonka's facotry?

Actually... I just thought of this. Is it where the train originates from that determines it? The pony powered and bland train came from Applalooza, which was Wild West themed and just is inferred to have tough, hard working ponies. Ponyville is more... Candyish I guess, so that sort of makes sense. Now, the Crystal empire had a Crystal, bullet train, perhaps emphasizing their technological superiority or age. Perhaps it emphasizes something I can't think of about this city or Region. Perhaps it emphasizes its blandness or something else about it.

Now, we all thought the Ponyville train was different from Manehattan and that it stuck out. Remember, the Mane 6 also act differently from those in Manehattan. Perhaps the reason it stuck out was that it was supposed
to, and in doing so, it enphasizes those on board are different and "sweeter" then those in the city...

I hope that made sense... Sorry... :fluttersmith:

The pony powered train in Over a Barrel was a comprimise because Lauren Faust didn't want to give ponies steam trains, but needed a train in the episode. The final result was honestly pretty dumb and I'm glad they just gave them trains (regardless of whether they were a toy tie in) instead of such bizzare ideas.

Actually, those images support my most recent claim. :awesomedash:

I BLAME MY FILM CLASS!

Now, Tailspin, we still have three different trains here, and each one is vastly different from the other, and it could have been solved by using just one model. (The one we see in Over the Barrel.) But they don't, and besides the money thing, it seems to almost makes sense to do so from my perspective. Different origins, different trains showing it.
