Vocalists... Have you had your wisdom teeth taken out? Did it affect the way you sing?

Mooch sez I'm not a singer so I'm not allowed to answer this question.

HTH.

I have had 2 of my wisdom teeth removed, but not the other 2.  however, they were removed years ago when I wasn't singing (I didn't sing except in the shower for many years between age 18 and 35).  so I have no comparison of before and after because I don't remember.

but I have a feeling it will be awkward at first but that you will get used to it and adjust.  probably won't take that long to adjust.  month?  depends on the person I'm sure.

Got all 4 done the same day against the oral surgeons advice. Tough couple of days, but at the time I wanted it over all at once. I think it depends on the individual's mouth, tongue, throat shape and the technique and talent involved. I think it helped me personally, especially in performing live. I was able to down a beer between songs much easier without those big choppers blocking the flow.

Leave it to Randy to put a practical spin on it.

I have different dentures to cope with a wide range of tones to suit various genres.

They ensure I'm equally bad in all of them.

I do all genres badly with my natural teef (or what's left of them)

I never had bottom wisdom teeth.... and had the top 2 removed.... I never really paid any attention to the difference in sound of my singing.  

I do suspect that the removal of the rear teeth will not have as large affect on your singing as having the front 2 removed.... 

Loothing the front oneth workth better than any de-etha.

Your gonna use the wisdom teeth issue every time you sing bad now....I just know it 

@julibee... Noted. That's brutal and sorry you had to go through that. When they were coming in I was terrified they were going to destroy my mouth (and I did not have insurance back then so it made it extra scary). Fortunately after a year they chilled out. If they were currently causing any problem I'd have them yanked in a second but these are actually very healthy wisdom teeth aside from the bottom ones being impacted. These toofs are quite strong (as are all my teeth surprisingly) and they are BIG. I swear looking at the x-ray I'm surprised I'm not gagging on the roots so I imagine it's gonna be a real... uh... experience when they come out. When I asked the dentist what kind of problems might arise from leaving them in the answer was "Oh, uh food can get stuck in there" which doesn't bother me that much. I just clean it out and have been for years. The other was "Oh, they might cause a cavity grinding up against the molars". Well they are already fully grown and aside from some pain when they came in haven't caused me any issues. I WILL have them taken out at some point but I'm just kind of thinking it'd be better to leave well enough alone until I'm done with some albums and have a bit more time and sanity to convalesce. Also I sadly do not have a wife to take care of my sorry butt. ;-)

I had mine removed in the lower jaw and although I'm mostly just screaming my head off as a vocalist (heavy metal <3) all I experienced was that my articulation got slightly better. But the first couple of days were hell! Hell I tella ya! But as soon as the pains stoped and the meds didn't it was all good
