Update of wisdom (lack of wisdom?)

Hello everyone...

I had my wisdom tooth surgery yesterday and seem to be recovering quite well. It ended up being a great doctor I chose becuase after looking at the x-rays he realised that the potential for nerve damage appeared very high in my bottom jaw. He ended up doing a CAT scan for free to determine exactly where the nerve was. This determined that the root is stradling the nerve, which essentially means if ANYTHING went wrong I'd perhaps never touch a clarinet again in my life becuase of lost feeling and numbness in my lower jaw and lip muscles. He was great and decided with me that because of my career aspirations it may be the best idea just to do the top two and leave the bottom ones until they are actually causing a problem, in which case they would do a 'crownectomy' to remove only the crown of the wisdom teeth, and leave the roots and my nerves alone.

What a great doctor... I love it when they are actually looking out for your best interests and not the money. Him being honest cost him about 1200 bucks for the bottom set. What a great guy.

Anyway I just thought I'd give an update for anyone who had replied to my first thread! Thanks!
