I get my four impacted wisdom teeth out

[iago]

I don't even have wisdom teeth!  :)

I don't either. At least, I don't think I do. Would I know?

Count your teeth? :P

You should have 16 teeth on the top and bottom, if you have wisdom teeth, 14 if you don't (32 and 28 total, obviously).

I had 4 removed and was awake with just novocaine. It's not too bad until they get to the root of the tooth. My jaw hurt for a while and my face was swollen for a few weeks. Other than that it wasn't bad at all.

Brilliant! If I have them, they have not surfaced.

Strange; I've never heard of anyone having none. Is there some gene for having/not having them?

I don't know, but I don't have them according to my dentist a in January.

From wikipedia:

Different human populations differ greatly in the percentage of the population which form wisdom teeth, ranging from 99.8% in Bantu speakers to nearly 0% in Mexican Indians.^[12] The difference is related to the PAX9 gene (and perhaps other genes).^[12]

Have you ever actually watched the movie? They don't actually name the shark.

Thanks, iago. I can sleep easy now.


For people like iago who fail at reading between the lines, I obviously was trying to determine if it was simply a freak case (the odds of a particular tooth not growing)^4, or genetic.
