    1. [LIN] Double Teeth - a last shot at it !!
    2. Renee Redshaw
    3. Goodmorrow List, Have not seen a mention of WISDOM TEETH ... these were the first big double teeth grown as I understand from childhood. These started to give me trouble and ache whilst in pregnancy - was told this usually happened ... and all four were one by one removed - the last one has distinct memory of it being so bad over Christmas Day that dentist agreed to see me on Boxing day to remove same - may I say memory of that was he made a "pigs ear" of it with his "pliers" - hurt like mad and he was distinctly still full of "Christmas Spirit(s)" judging by his whisky laden breath! (This was 1945 era!). Why were they called Wisdom Teeth - having myself got curious I was horrified at what was done in the "dark ages" compared to what is done today for these teeth - info by kind permission of Google!!
