Yeah, I don't understand why the dentist is insisting on extracting them when you turn 16. I have all four wisdom teeth and they are crooked, but they haven't even started coming in even though I am 20 years old. I hope they stay like that forever... The thought of having them taken out terrifies me.

The main reason I'm so scared about getting them taken out is because of the the general anesthesia, which I am petrified of. This is because when I was a little kid (probably about seven or eight), my older sister needed to have surgery to get a benign growth taken out of her arm. The operation went fine, but as soon as she woke up she drank a glass of Coca-cola and then v*ed a few minutes later. I'm positive the reason she got sick was because of the Coke (all bubbly and acidic) on an empty stomach and not the actual surgery, but I am still very traumatized from that.
