3 or 4?: fell and hit my face as a toddler, front tooth grew in dead with root growing sideways out of my gum. I don't remember how this was removed, but I do remember what it felt like to have the root growing out like that.
I think I had one or two fillings in baby teeth, but I don't remember exactly when or how many.
10-12: braces
~8-12: sealants
late teens/college: 5 fillings as soon as the sealants wore off
17: 4 wisdom teeth removed (with iv sedation of some sort)
25: 2 replacement fillings + 2 new fillings
30: 2 replacement fillings
34: 7 replacement fillings that went very badly, leading to re-replacement of multiple fillings and eventually 3 root canals and crowns.
coming up:
2 implants to replace congenitally missing teeth. Supernumerary teeth sound like a better deal.
These have been mixed experiences. Some were quite painful (both as a child and recently), some were fine.
