  Wrap it up with ziploc bag, label it nicely witht the years date and time, u may write a small note 40 words max. Then go mount faber and bury it.

   

  After millions of years, if a new civilisation happen to dig up your wisdom tooth, at least they knew where it come from and save all kinds of researchers funding.

  okay.

  i just removed it 3 days back.

  but in fact..i already started eating solid food on the 2nd day after my extraction..and it was a slow eating meal experiences..

  while eating..pain with problems-food stucked here and there..

  haiz..

  luckily the surgeon who help me extracted all 4 at once was a senior surgeon, so the recovery process if quite good..

  Anybody knows how long do i have to wait for the holes of the gums to grow up to what it is before the surgery?

  It's such a troublesome matter to eat yet to rinse mouth so many times after every meal..

  Wahh! four!!

  For me, it's 3 down, one last one still standing, I mean still attaching. 2 on my left was removed donkey years ago, the lower right was just extracted on wednesday.  No more pain, but waiting to remove the stitches on friday.  Damm wisdom growing against my lower molar, stressed it and caused the enamel to break, to do root canal, i must first remove the problem tooth.

  6 weeks so fast?

  when i asked my fren who extracted hers, she said it took her 6months for the gums to grow back.

  after 2 weeks, the holes on my gums didn't really get smaller..

  i wonder my 1 will take how long for all 4 to grow back..

  it's troublesome to wash and rinse the mouth using the syringe which the dentist has given me..taking up some time..
