| I agree with Shilke B6
I'm not a doctor or a dentist, but what I've discovered indicates that the real incidence of future problems associated with wisdom teeth, such as cysts and tumors, which your dentist may have scared you with, is exceedingly low, almost "background". If you could magically have wisdom teeth removed with no risk at all, it would probably be a good thing to do. But the fact is, there is risk, and it is real surgery. I also suffered nerve damage as a result, which has NOT turned out to be "temporary", and that is more likely the more impacted a tooth is.
In retrospect, I personally would not have had the surgery if I had done more research, and sought more opinions. This is certainly an individual decision, and the odds are you won't have any problems. But some people do. Check it out some more. |
