Teeth of Wisdom trouble

I went to the dentist on Tuesday and the doctor insisted on what I've been trying to ignore during the last two years: I need to have my four Teeth of Wisdom extracted.

A pitty, because I never had any kind of pain as they grew in 8 years ago or so and I thought I'd have no problems with them. Unfortunately, they never got to get out entirely, and now they are basically useless for my bite, and a potential risk area for teeth decay. They have pushed the rest of the teeth out of alignment, so I may have to get dental braces to correct this. I'm defering all of this until October, though. I don't want to be bothered during Summer with this...

Tell me about it! I've got one that has chosen today to start growing again having been semi erupted for years. Ow! On with the clove oil. Fortunately I still have my perfect smile :).
I don't relish the thought of braces. Good luck.
