I've been refusing to have mine removed for five years, I have the world's most sensitive gag reflex and frequently puke from brushing my teeth, so just getting cavities filled is torture, getting my wisdom teeth out is the scariest thing I can think of. I really *should* get the bottom right one out at least, because it came in at a funny angle and I have a big wad of scar tissue on my cheek because of it, but - yikes, stuff that far back in my mouth for that long? I will literally puke on the dentist's hands, and I just don't want to deal with puking on someone while laying on my back.
