I lucked out. I never had to have my wisdom teeth removed. I had enough room for them.

When did they break out? You better take excellent care of them or they'll rot and have to be pulled anyways
A long time ago, around 15-16. I was frequenting the dentist and they said it would be no problem.
I actually had to have my molars removed. Soft teeth in the family and bad childhood antibiotics have made my teeth very fragile. The dentist said my wisdom might move to my molars and they did.
Now both my bottom molars are actually my wisdom teeth. Another cool thing, because my adult teeth have been fragile all my life, their roots have grown up to my cheekbones to compensate. My x-rays are wild. I have the longest roots my dentist has ever seen.
Edit: Also not so cool. I had a root canal and it took 4 hours.
I lucked out even more by not having any wisdom teeth at all.

can someone explain this? I don't get it
It took a while for me but after some thinking I believe it is a joke for Americans, for whom dental care is infamously expensive. Probably this type of wisdom tooth causes problems so frequently that a dentist could pretty much live off a single patient with this condition, that'd be the joke. Full disclaimer I'm not American, not a dentist and my wisdom teeth also not like that
Nah, just a joke about there always being more to remove as it becomes problematic for a new person
I suppose the idea is that most people have this set of teeth and for many it becomes problematic at some point. Removing "wisdom teeth" isn't the cheapest stomatological procedure.

StuNdent? Can’t people spell check?
Graduates, sure, but stundents are still learning
Don’t you mean “granduates“?
Typos in meme captions or post titles really trigger me.
It’s okay to make mistakes in comments or posts, but ffs check your titles and captions at least.
