Today, I found out that instead of having four wisdom teeth, I have eight. They all have to be removed as soon as possible, which happens to be over the Christmas break. I get to spend my whole vacation in excruciating pain and a swollen face to boot. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I had eight teeth removed in preparation for getting my braces fitted. My winter break will now consists of barely being able to sleep or eat, tasting blood, and looking like a goofy-ass chipmunk. FML
Today, I went to the dentist and found out I still have a wisdom tooth. I got all four out last summer… or at least I thought I did. Now I have to go back and get it removed. Again. FML
Today, after a year or more of suffering with wisdom tooth pain, I finally had all 4 removed a few days ago. Relief? No. I’m in more pain now than I’ve ever been, and I can’t even eat for comfort. FML
Today, I got all four of my wisdom teeth taken out. I happen to be allergic to all types of pain medication. FML
Today, I had two of my wisdom teeth removed. One side of my face is completely swollen, and the other is normal. I feel like the elephant man. FML
Today, I had my wisdom teeth pulled. The local anesthesia worked on three of the four teeth. I found out about the last tooth when the dentist was mid-yank. FML
Today, I have both a cold and a period. Tomorrow, I will have a cold, my period and my wisdom teeth taken out. FML
Today, the dentist told me I needed to have two of my wisdom teeth on opposite ends of my mouth pulled. I suppose a liquid diet won't be all that bad. FML
Today, I became that small percent of people who face three different kinds of complications after their wisdom teeth are removed. FML
Today, I got hit in the mouth with a hockey stick and lost four teeth. Yesterday I got my braces of six years removed. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

What a wuss. We live in the day and age of anaesthetic, so everyone, please stop bitching about your wisdom teeth. No one cares.

And clearly, you haven't had yours out, nor have you had any surgery of any kind. Otherwise, you would know that once the anesthetic wears off, (yes, dear, it does wear off) there will be pain, discomfort, and soreness.

Wow, you're a moron. I haven't had my wisdom teeth out but I have had root canal surgery. You've obviously never had any sort of significant dental work done. For starters, if you have a local anaesthetic, it wears off eventually. And your mouth still hurts like hell. Secondly, if you go under a general anaesthetic, as the OP will to get 8 wizzies removed, it will also wear off, you will wake up, and despite however much ibuprofen you take, it will still hurt. Procedures like root canal and wisdom tooth surgery inflict significant trauma upon the gum and surrounding mouth, and it's not something that heals in the few hours that your anaesthetic lasts for. After my root canal I took 2 ibuprofen and 2 paracetamol and still had pain shooting through the area around my tooth. I shudder to think what you'd feel like after getting wisdom teeth removed. Fortunately for me, I only have 2 wisdom teeth (as far as the dentist can tell) and they have both erupted without any problems, so as far as we can tell, I'll never need to get my wisdom teeth removed, for which I am eternally grateful.

that's actually pretty common (the wisdom teeth growing sideways).

The pain actually isn't that bad, it goes away after a few days, good luck!

don't worry it's really not as bad as everyone says it is, and I bet they are going to give you some great pills ;)
