#5 You Can Keep Your Wisdom Teeth

 Third molars, or wisdom teeth, are frequently regarded as an inconvenience by both patients and dentists. Many dentists advise getting them taken out at a young age due to potential issues like crowding, infection, and impaction. Truth be told, not all wisdom teeth will be problematic; in fact, some people may be able to live with them for the rest of their lives without any issues.

The likelihood that wisdom teeth will cause issues varies depending on the person and their particular circumstances, which is important to understand. Whether or not wisdom teeth will cause issues can depend on a number of different factors, including the size of the jaw, the position and shape of the teeth, and the general health of the person.

Discussing the potential risks and benefits of the procedure with your dentist is extremely important if they advise having your wisdom teeth removed. Furthermore, it’s essential to take other possibilities into account, like keeping your wisdom teeth and keeping an eye on them for any potential problems.

  1. Good information. I hate to do this but I’m going to be taking care of my teeth without the dentist from now on. I recently moved and have a very good dental insurance plan. The new dentist claims he saw a crack in my lower crown. Long story short, and over $3000 out of pocket later, he cracked the molar next to the crown while trying to fix it. So first crown was replaced and second tooth repaired. But when he was working on the second tooth, he cracked the one next to it! Still waiting over a month for him to fix this but my calls are never returned. So now the dental company is involved and I was told I may need a lawyer.

    1. Get a good personal injury lawyer and sue his ass but good. Sounds to me like a whole lot of pain and suffering and irreparable damage to two otherwise healthy teeth, which will now require preventative care for the rest of your life. Even more damaging if you’re young!

  2. I am in my mid 80’s getting my teeth cleaned soon. My dentist said I have a cavity under my crown
    in fact two crowns. very expensive to repairs even with insurance don’t have the finds. Should I bother?
    please respond.
