Heh. That wouldn't work because once you pull a tooth and kill the blood supply, it's dead. You can't later implant it and expect it to live. THAT'S CRAZY TALK. Edit: Oh wait, by "still have your wisdom teeth", I thought you meant like, saved in the glovebox of your car or something after they were removed. - Rochelle

Someone we know had 2 sets of wisdom teeth and he had to have them removed, but he was upset that he was losing his "spare set" of teeth. - Andrizzle Gizzle

Gross. Even if you did lose a regular tooth and wanted your wisdom tooth transplanted into the space, I don't think it would work because wisdom teeth are BIG and I doubt the hole left from the regular tooth would be big enough to accommodate a wisdom tooth. Also, I'm not sure if they can reconnect nerve/blood supply and veins from one site to another site like that. - Rochelle

I know, right?? Like would you replace a front tooth with a wisdom tooth, how would that even work? Oh noes my extra set of teeth I miss them :( What an idiot. - Andrizzle Gizzle

Maybe it works on the astral plane. - joey

I can't believe I didn't even consider that. - Andrizzle Gizzle

I had mine pulled so the NSA can't track my movements. I would consider implanting them into someone else to further confuse the black helicopters. - s t e v e

You could *possibly*, through orthodontics, pull the tooth into the position of the 2nd molar, but I don't think there's much else you could do along the lines of using your wisdom teeth as "spare teeth". O.o - Penguin It's Cold Outside

I know, like THAT IS NOT A THING. PEOPLE DO NOT KEEP THEIR WISDOM TEETH SO THAT THEY HAVE REPLACEMENTS. NO! - Andrizzle Gizzle

Well, there was that recent case where they implanted a tooth into a woman's eye socket so she could see again. http://abcnews.go.com/m... - Victor Ganata

No, they just took mine away from me. :-( - John (a.k.a. dendroica)

Maybe he is planning on going blind in 7 eyes.. I had not considered that either. :) - Andrizzle Gizzle

I kept mine for a while, in a box, because it felt really weird to throw away my own teeth. But then it started to feel weird to keep my own teeth in a box. - Blackeyed P

lol Sarah - Andrizzle Gizzle

@victor - crazy and amazing - Jen (SquirrelGirl) from iPhone

Sarah, my mom has all of my baby teeth and I have all of my adult teeth. :) - Rochelle

Now I'm imagining someone with wisdom teeth where their incisors should be. - John (a.k.a. dendroica)

I think my mom still has some of my baby teeth, too. They sell little kits now where you can display your kid's teeth as they lose them. I assisted on an extraction recently and the patient kept the tooth and joked about hanging it from a necklace. - Penguin It's Cold Outside

Maybe she was a fan of Julie Doucet. Her comic features a necklace of teeth... - Spidra Webster

i think they were our ancestors spare teeth. By the time your old molars were decayed and had fallen out your wisdom teeth came in (usually at 18+ years) to replace them. - deliacious

Interestingly enough, there are people who don't develop all (or any) of their wisdom teeth. Yay, evolution! - Penguin It's Cold Outside

Hm. I don't think lacking wisdom teeth would give a person a reproductive advantage. - s t e v e

Heh, fair enough. Yay, mutation, though! - Victor Ganata

It might not give them a reproductive advantage, but it would give them a dental bill advantage. - John (a.k.a. dendroica)

Well they broke my wisdom teeth into tiny shards to extract them from my head, so that would TOTALLY not work. - Sumotuwe

Wait, I just remembered super-glue. So ... maybe there is hope for me yet. - Sumotuwe

I still have my wisdom teeth.... I should probably have them removed... but I am scared of the dentist/oral surgeon... I almost got it done once and they're all impacted... They told me there was a chance that if I have them removed they could sever the nerve that controls my jaw and then I would be slack-jawed. It was a possibility and that scares me. - Fa La La La Lindsay

After a blackout, woke up in a bathtub of ice one morning and all my wisdom teeth were gone. There was a note: "Yep, it's how we monetize. —Sn0pes.com" - Micah Wittman

Lindsay needs a new dentist. Mine took mine out with a fucking hammer and a chisel (i woke up under anesthesia and saw him take the hammer/chisel out to give me more gas) and they were CRAZY impacted, and I can still work my jaw muscles. It wasn't that bad. Advil 800mg is your BFF. - Sumotuwe
