I had my wisdom teeth out in college. I wasn't having any actual problems with them, but my dentist (the one I still go to) advised me that because wisdom teeth have no enamel and are prone to caveties he would be working in the back of my mouth every time I came to see him. So, one appointment with an oral surgeon later, I was scheduled for extraction. I had the work done in the Short Procedure Unit of a nearby general hospital, under full anesthesia. I had two erupted, two partially impacted, and one fully impacted removed. There was another fully impacted wisdom tooth that was so far up into the jawline it was decided they wouldn't do anything about it unless it migrated down and started causing me some problems, since it wasn't worth breaking my jaw to get it.
Yes, the total is six. You are counting properly.
That makes me a very wise mutant.
