Wisdom teeth, I’ve always wondered what they’re for. My girlfriend recently had hers removed. I initially thought that the process was called a ‘root canal’ but have since learned otherwise. The wisdom tooth surgery is equally as gross.

It involved slitting open the gums to find the tooth and somehow drilling the crusty bugger out. Based on second hand experience, when the local anesthetics wears off, the pain is bloody awful. I once had 4 teeth removed when I put on my braces years ago. Somehow that didn’t hurt all that much. Only a dull throbbing after the whole process. Wisdom teeth removal is a whole other matter.

The tooth even had bits of ‘gums’ on it. Flooking gross. After the operation, the dentist stitched it up and scheduled another appointment to remove the stitches a week later. I cringe when I hear the words, stitches, needles, gushing blood and injections.

I guess ‘What are Wisdom Teeth for?” should be added to my list of things to ask the Creator when I do meet him/her. For now, I personally think they’re designed to hook your false teeth to when all others fall out.

As for YY, no Yee Sang for you this New Year.
