Okay, well, this is a little bit different. I finally had my upper wisdom teeth extracted. A little late by current dental standards, but I remember this being a matter of some controversy back when I was of the age most people got their wisdom teeth removed. The idea was that if they weren't causing the patient any particular problems (e.g. impacted, decayed, whatever), then perhaps it was best to just leave them be. My dentist at the time, evidently, was of that persuasion.
How about you? Still got yours?
I have 3 of mine, all healthy. The other one was impacted and was removed a few years ago.
ReplyDeleteI still got two left and they are healthy.
ReplyDeleteNo. Perhaps I should’ve kept them for the sake of wisdom.
ReplyDeleteNope. 2 of mine were taken out before I got braces as a teenager and the other 2 were taken out about 10 years ago.
