I had mine out about 12 years ago. I had to go to a facial surgeon because my jaw bone had enfused with the wisdom teeth on the bottom. They knocked me out completely, basically broke my jaw, removed two pieces of my lower jaw to get at the teeth and then discovered a fifth wisdom tooth at at the top right of my mouth. Awesome, hey?
It took me about 2.5 weeks to be able to fit a teaspoon into my mouth, which was difficult because you're not supposed to use a straw to eat or drink, and it took me almost an entire year to be able to open my mouth all the way again. SO glad that's over with...
