How many teeth in your head?
I'm down five, including wisdom. Will get implant as soon as I'm with dental insurance co. 6 mos. (in Jan.).

1. Down six, counting wisdom teeth
I'm missing two on my upper jaw. I had them yanked when I got braces as a kid, and there wasn't enough room in my mouth for all my teeth.

3. Down 8, counting wisdom teeth.
Two upstairs and two downstairs had to come out before I got braces.

19. Wisdom extraction was the worst pain I had
in 2004. As a bonus, I got to look like a rodent for 72 hours.

6. 27 in all
I was born without wisdom teeth...thanks mom :) and have had one tooth pulled. My back, top left molar never grew in becaus ethere wasn't enough room. So, 27 teeth, 26 of which are visible.

7. They're all in my head. Where else would they be?
x(

Seriously, all but four wisdom teeth, one bridged eye tooth and one top from incisor which has been replaced with an implant. Also, the remaining teeth have had so many root canals, filings and caps that I wonder if they still qualify as natural teeth.

It took a couple of dental students half an hour to pull one wisdom tooth because it kept breaking.

18. I have 10 on top...
and 10 on the bottom. I use to have a "monster mouth." My mouth was waaay to small for 32 teeth. Especially my teeth, that are quite large. They were all stacked on top of each other.

After a lot of oral surgery, quite a few teeth extractions, and six years of braces my teeth look great. I actually get compliments on them all the time now. I never thought that would happen.
