DentistsMy current dentist is called Mr Stiff.
Back when I was at university though, I had enormous pain in my jaw one morning - so bad I went as an emergency case to the uni dentist.
He took one look at the back of my mouth and said, "Ah, wisdom teeth. Impacted. They'll have to come out."
He then reached under the chair and came out with an enormous industrial (and entirely non-dental) pair of pliers, "I can do it now if you want..."

3rd Set...I've inherited some dental problems from my Father (for example, I'm 36 and still have one milk canine).
As a teenager, I also started developing tooth-buds above my new adult teeth; without anywhere to go, they started heading for my sinuses.
Cue four days in hospital, having my palate removed, the tooth-buds hollowed out of my upper jaw, the bone being filled back in with polyfilla or whatever and then the roof of my mouth stitched back in.
I lived on soup for two weeks, and having a circle of stitches behind every.one.of.my.upper.teeth drove me nuts.
Still, it worked, so really I can't complain - except my jaw has clicked ever since (I think they used a car-jack).
/Length is not a problem.
