Anyone who has had problems with their wisdom teeth knows how much of a pain they can be. I, myself, have had the displeasure of spending my entire Spring Break recovering from a good ol’ fashioned extraction. As someone who’s never had a cavity in his life, I felt cheated. Lately, a friend of mine has been complaining to me about how terrible her roommate is. After noticing some incredible similarities, I've noticed that Wisdom Teeth are just your mouth's bad roommates.
You’ve heard of bad roommates before coming to college, but your optimistic and don’t think it’ll happen to you.
Of course you’ve heard about other people having issues with wisdom teeth, but it can’t happen to every one right? However, come one faithful dentist appointment and you find out all your wisdom teeth are impacted. Just like meeting your awful roommate on move in day!
They’ll make your room dirty no matter how hard you try to clean it.
No matter how well you brush, food is still very likely to get stuck in your wisdom teeth. This puts you at a much higher risk of getting a cavity. Those old school Crest commercials that had me believe that all I needed to avoid cavities was the right toothpaste.
When they’re not there you don’t notice them, but as soon as they arrive, they’re just painful to be around.
Everything was fine until your wisdom teeth started growing. Now that they’re officially in your life, they’re starting to become a major nuisance.
The longer they’re with you, the more likely they are to screw up your entire College life.
Having bad roommate can ruin your social life. Their gross habits and unpleasant behavior can scare away all your friends, just as your wisdom teeth crowding out your pallet can be pushing them out of your mouth and leaving them seriously crooked.
They serve no purpose other than making your life miserable.
Honestly, why are they even called "wisdom teeth" if 73% of the population has issues with them? Was it just some clever and ironic pun?
You complain to your RA long enough until he or she decides to help you get rid of your awful roommate, much to your elation.
Your RA is your dentist in this scenario, and when your dentist’s final decides that it’s time to take those little punks out, you couldn’t be happier.
That is until you find out it may be harder to get rid of them than you originally thought.
Your dentist gives you the unfortunate news that this extraction is going to be PAINFUL, just as painful as the bureaucratic mess removing your roommate can be.
You hated every second of them being there, but now that they're gone you finally can appreciate the extra space.
