Anyone else here never get their wisdom teeth?

Poor LeftyMom, suffering because she had to have her wisdom teeth removed today. I never have had any, I'm also missing the last lower molar on my left - never came in, either, and nothing is lurking around in my jaw, nothing shows up on xrays. I'm just missing a tooth.

Anyone else lacking wisdom? As a nice bonus, though, I have very straight, even teeth - never needed braces.

4. yeah, if you've got to have them, it's nice to have a jaw that

will accommodate them. So you're wise and have straight teeth - definitely lucky!

6. another sister of mine still has hers -- never had trouble,

either.

I've been lucky with my teeth, too. Knock on wood. I can't see worth a damn and have spent god knows how much money on saline and contacts over the years, but at least my teeth haven't ever given me any grief.

7. I never got the wisdom teeth 'buds' as

the doctor described them to me.

He said my jaw was to small to even allow them. :shrug:

I had a lot of molars pulled and I still wonder if they were, in fact, wisdom teeth.

But no, I never grew or had any. I guess I'm lucky ... and wiser! :P
