Dear Wisdom Teeth,
We've known each other a really long time. Since the day I started growing teeth in fact. You know all my secrets about which types of foods I like to eat to how I massage the back of my jaw when it's sore. And I don't mind that. You've always been a very polite molar, quiet and reserved out of sight. That's how it should be, cozy in your own little place in the back of my jaw. However, as of late you've become a little too pushy and the other teeth are starting to complain. They've been shoved up tight on the lower jaw and it is a most disagreeable arrangement. It seems there is not enough room for you all to fit there now that you are becoming bigger and moving in. What happened to the humble incisor I used to know?
The last time a dentist had the privilege of examining our family of shiny dentures, he was rather disappointed in you, I'll have you know. Although I keep you all very clean, you have been rather rebellious and greedy I hate to say. Taking more than your fair share, and bullying the others into a cramped line at the front. Consequently, Mr. Dentist has highly recommended that I expel you from the Mouth and as soon as possible at that. I really wish this was not necessary. It could have been so nice if you'd just stayed in your place like you have up until now. But perhaps it is not your fault intentionally. Afterall, everyone must grow and you must have felt very cramped back there. So perhaps this will be best for both of us, a win-win, when you are free from your bonds. Perhaps that is what you have been hinting at as you peeked out from under the gums and made cleaning more tedious and challenging for the floss. So I promise to you that I will be releasing you soon to leave the nest, as soon as I have the funds and time. Until then lets make the best of our remaining time together and patiently halt your growing for now.
Ever yours,
Elizabeth

Elizabeth, you poem truly made me LOL! I love that you wrote a letter to your wisdom teeth....not something most people would think to do! And you did so in such a clever way! I remember when I had mine pulled...i looked like a chipmunk for a week....puffy cheeks! but the pain meds did help and i didn't mind that part....LOL! I love it when someone thinks out of the box and comes up with a well crafted piece!
Haha, yes. I was thinking about how I would have to remove them in the coming months and I'm kind of reluctant about it because of funds and such, and also because I've had them for so long. lol It just seemed appropriate to write them a letter. Haha, I am not looking forward to puffy cheeks, but I will enjoy having straighter teeth again and not such a crowded mouth. Thank you so much for your encouraging words!
just remember to use ice afterwards cos that will help with the swelling! a bag of frozen peas works nicely as an ice pack!
i just remembered i wrote this a few years back about having to get a crown on my tooth so thought u might appreciate it!
Queen Tooth
It’s off to the dentist
Need to get a damn crown
As my tooth becomes Queen
My checkbook wears a frown
Thanks to nitrous oxide
I’ll get my legal high
It’s desperately needed
So I don’t sit and cry
The only problem is
When it’s over and done
My legal high is gone
The only part that’s fun!
best wishes,
val
Haha thank you for the poem! It might be a similar experience for me lol. I know I'll be a lot happier when my teeth can be straight. Thank you for your well wishes! 🙂
