Although recommended by the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, wisdom tooth extraction may do more harm than good. >Studies show "Only 12% of truly impacted teeth >are associated with pathological conditions such >as cysts and damage to adjacent teeth." >"In fact, 50% of upper third molars classified as >impactions are normally developing teeth" Many dentists take advantage of the vanity of patients claiming that failure to remove the teeth will result in the crowding of other teeth, even though this is simply not the case. In addition most patients are not properly informed of the risks >lockjaw >burns >Permanent nerve damage >infection >cavitation >dry socket. Remember pol, never trust a man in a white jacket, these snake oil salesmen are just out for your money, and have very little evidence to back up thier claims. Unless it's absolutely medically necessary, keep your wisdom teeth.
I left a wisdom tooth alone and a huge chunk fell out after 8 years because I couldn't reach it with a toothbrush. I think its better to take it out when its tiny.
Asher Flores
still got 4 wisdom teeth. 2 top 2 lower.
not young anymore. not chancing it. it's nice having 4 backups.
Mason Brooks
then why does the military bother taking them out? I got x rayed when I joined. 1 year later at dental the dentist said they looked like they weren't moving at all but decided they should take em out just in case
Carson Martinez
This. They can be really hard to clean.
Brayden Thompson
This is ironic because my Jewish/Russian dentist didn't make anyone in my family get braces or their wisdom teeth pulled, even though I asked for these procedures out of paranoia. She said it was not necessary. She even gives us a discount and takes care of everything in one session. A typical American dentist would have made us make multiple appointments for no reason except to make more money and they charge double.
Matthew Wood
the most extreme pain I've ever experienced happened because I let my decayed wisdom tooth emerge rather than have it removed
Daniel Rogers
i was coerced into getting mine removed because they tell you theres a greater risk of getting nerve damage if you wait till theyre fully grown into your jaw
Chase Baker
This, in boot camp they literally round up all of the recruits with wisdom teeth and yank them out, whether they're an issue or not.
Justin Hughes
They're often difficult to clean without really getting in there with floss and they can cause problems that only become apparent once they've fully broken through (contacting and impinging the neighbouring teeth etc.)
Henry Robinson
how did humans survive for thousands of years without wisdom teeth removal?
Brandon Sullivan
>didn't let the kikes take my hyperborean wisdom teeth >now my jaw has a distinctly noble forward protrusion, allowing me to grasp food delicately with my teeth acting as a fine pair of pliers jews on fucking suicide watch
Cameron Kelly
I got my wisdom teeth removed a few years ago. I got all the opiates and ice cream I could hope for. The only sucky part was when the painkillers ran out before the pain did.
Jackson Diaz
I once watched a documentary about human teeth and their development through history I am convinced that our teeth are one of the many reasons of why we're fucked
Chase Turner
agreed, I am laughing at all the retards that wasted money to get their own teeth removed mine have never caused me discomfort, no point in removing them
Adam Adams
I was told to have them removed and I never did. Now I'm 36 and have two rotten, broken, painful teeth. I've come to the conclusion that I have a fear of dentistry, apparently a common thing, because there is other reason that I have avoided it this long. I have plenty of money and insurance, I'm just a faggot who doesn't like general anesthesia. I recently made an appointment to get it done and its giving me anxiety thinking about it right now.
Austin Gutierrez
THere's no reason to have them, and they can be detrimental to overall dental health if they become impacted. We don't chrew food that has the consistency of leather and rope anymore
Dominic Long
>wisdom teeth >wisdom >"those are gonna have to come out user" fuck you
Blake Peterson
>general anesthesia They do that in burgerland? Here you are only locally anesthetized and you see the dentist fiddling in your mouth while he explains you what he's doing
Samuel Sanchez
I don't know how dental treatment works in the US (whether it's prohibitively expensive or not) but assuming you go to the dentist when you're supposed to once every six months for a check-up, any dentists worth their salt would spot wisdom teeth problems right away. It's one of the first things they check.
Sebastian Thomas
its not your teeth's fault that you can't take care of them properly
Elijah Walker
Wisdom teeth give your tongue more surface area to push sideways against which leads to a wider palate which allows you to breathe more easily, gives you a better looking face, and also gives mental and hormonal benefits.
Lucas Taylor
Bump...
I fell for it. They cracked and chipped half my teeth cutting the the wisdom teeth out.
Samuel Gonzalez
If you don't have your wisdom teeth then you'll never fully mature into an adult , having those extra teeth come in changes your facial structure and the way your facial bones develop.
Blake Price
orr they impact and cause unbelievable pain and tooth damage.. you're going nowhere with this
Elijah Reyes
>got my wisdom teeth extracted like 2 years ago >fully put under anesthesia I paid the Jews a fuck load of money so they could microchip me without my knowledge, huh?
Samuel Russell
they impact yes but only in people who have had poor diets and poor facial muscle usage growing up due to soft foods. this type of lifestyle leads to an underdeveloped jaw with no room for the teeth to come in.
this knowledge is for the children growing up now, if you're reading this now its obviously too late for you
but you can save your kids.
Gavin Jenkins
I have plenty of room for my wisdom teeth. My dentist said no reason to get rid of them if they aren't crowding. I'm inclined to agree with him.
William Reed
1 chip for each tooth senpai
why do you think you have room for them and most dont? do you eat lots of tough foods? is your diet full of high quality foods?
Aaron Russell
i had to take mine out
Jace Hernandez
26 year old here Your genes suck, you are a human from the past. I never had wisdom teeth and never will.
John Davis
Though I agree with op there's 2 reasons 1 They don't want to chance it being a issue later and having to take you off duty to get that shit fixed 2 It's honestly practice for the military dentists and those in A school to be a dentist or assistant. You are essentially practice dummies
John Martinez
>implying evolution will select for humans with less and less teeth over time no
Blake Foster
What if you just let them keep coming in?
Hunter Lewis
i didnt get them out until one started to surface and got infected. dentist said it would just keep getting infected if i didnt get them out
Leo Barnes
I got mine taken out just so I could get the next few days off. Planned it perfectly too because afterwards we got a 4 day
Mason Cooper
>Your genes suck, you are a human from the past. Your living DNA contains living memories of your past relatives thus you can activate ancient memories but yeah anyway it's how one gets to Eden..
Bentley Cooper
I'm old.
I haven't seen a dentist since I was 18. The last time I was there they told me I needed to have a couple cavities filled and my wisdom teeth extracted. It's been literally decades and the "cavities" never materialized and my wisdom teeth are fine. They came in perfectly and have never caused any problem.
I do have some crowding of the bottom front teeth which is pretty common, and may be related to the wisdom teeth, but it's not serious. Plus, I never had braces.
Nathan Cox
bottom ones were already mild painful, i guess pain would just increase.
and i paid removing 4 of them like 200e, so i guess i didn't get jewed a lot
Jace Hernandez
Wisdom teeth get dirty and cavities really easy which may lead to infection.
I got both taken out, because I wanted to and it doesnt feel strange or different in any way.
It did not hurt and I was not in full anesthesia. The dentist took it out with some kind of a tool that looks like a screwdrive, dunno its name.
Since then my wisdom teeth dont hurt, I never had any infections and eat non different than before.
Taking your wisdom teeth out is real redpill.
Brody Cruz
I was quoted for a one dental implant recently.
Five grand.....
I love it when they immediately tell you, you need a two thousand dollar root canal for tooth pain.
Levi Gray
Keep them its a scam to remove them , and you will need them later.
Benjamin Perez
I need pretty serious oral surgery at this point according to a friend-of-a-friend dentist that I showed it to. Routine, but still serious. I'm pretty sure she said its a general anesthesia procedure.
yeah that's what the problem is, I'm too chickenshit to go the dentist. I haven't been to one in over 10 years. I never really thought about it until very recently and it was a bit of a revelation. I just couldn't think of any other reason why I haven't handled it yet. I'm not accustomed to irrational phobias but I guess I have one.
Jonathan Morales
Mine became impacted and were very painful
Michael Reyes
Here's my quote for braces and wisdom teeth extraction... Fuck my life. Im gonna have fucked up teeth for the rest of my life.
Brandon Brooks
what is the fucking point of your insurance? It covers
Logan Nguyen
I have room for a second row of wisdom teeth. I doubt diet has anything to do with it, likely just genetics.
Connor Taylor
Don't do it.
yeah that price is way less than here
Anthony Thompson
>I haven't been to one in over 10 years.
You really should go, bud. Not even for the wisdom tooth thing but because after that length of time, you're almost certainly in need of periodontal cleaning. The longer you delay it, the worse (and potentially more expensive) it's going to be.
Hunter Robinson
When I moved for college and got a new dentist he told me that the skin from below my gums was falling off and that I would need major surgery to fix the problem or I would be in dentures within 5 years. As a 19 year old kid with no previous dental problems other than ironically having my wisdom teeth out.
I noped the fuck out of there and found a real dentist. 50% of dentists are scam artists. Don't trust any dentist that says you have 7212531 cavities or need a bunch of root canals. Pay the $80 to get a second opinion before they screw you.
Carson Howard
MYH16 gene mutation for you. Also I have 196cm. How does it feel to be a modern ape ?
Hudson Martin
genetics doesn't play that big a part, most of the faggots here that have their wisdoms removed had ancestors that had wisdom teeth grow in just fine
Jeremiah Baker
Just don't go to Dr. Goldshekelstein and you'll be fine.
Samuel Edwards
>impactions are normally developing teeth Pic was basically my teeth before removal, go die with no teeth fool
Luis Cook
...
Aiden Sanders
I had no choice. two of my wisdom teeth were growing almost horizontally and would have damaged my molars. Plus I never had any problem, aside from some pain after the local anesthesia ended
Ryder Russell
>Just got my wisdom teeth removed 1 week ago >I have tinnitus now
Dominic James
That's fucking retarded. You might as well ask how we survived without antibiotics or electricity - worse.
Austin Phillips
MYH16 is postulated to be important for the development of a larger brain, so tell me what is your IQ?
Adrian King
Looks almost like both my teeth
Adrian Peterson
All of those factors are funnel effect producing things -> they raise up the lower portion of humanity while depressing the upper portion of humanity. Without them humanity as a whole would be better off even though some individuals would be worse off.
Joshua Price
Why would it result in crowding? Wear a retainer.
Oliver Gray
He posts on Sup Forums So at least 140
Jaxson Ortiz
Yes, also narrower jaws, smaller teeth and less space for the 3rd molar (wisdom teeth)
Yeah I recently made an appointment after my revelation that I'm a big pussy for being afraid of a dentist. Its really weird to even think about or admit, even anonymously. I'm honestly quite ashamed of the whole thing, and that may be a factor too. I've even had surgeries before and it wasn't a problem, and I've had many trips to the hospital for injuries and have no hangups about needles or anything. Its just dental stuff that creeps me out.
I've even had infections in the wisdom teeth in question that I treated with natural bullshit like a poultice made of raw garlic, green tea, and salt. It actually worked and made it go away within a few days while treating the pain with whiskey and weed. At the time I didn't even think about the lengths I was going to just to avoid the dentist. Its like my subconscious was blocking out rational thought. Its hard to explain.
Brayden Gray
Maybe true for some, but for me I had impacted uppers, which was resulting in crowding of some of my teeth already, and my lowers were double impacted- also resulting in some crowding. I was having TMJ symptoms and random gland problems in my jaw from middle school until I had them removed in college at 20 years old. Pretty sure I did the right thing. No more problems with my jaw- there are no words for how awful jaw pain can be.
Daniel Scott
your brain can eventually shut of its response to the damaged fibers.
just sleep with a fan
Parker White
Unless you get the operation done by some nigger in Africa you aren't going to get those symptoms
Nathan Anderson
nowadays more like 110
narrow jaw isn't decided my masseter volume senpai it's based on your tongue width
i think you are conflating suboptimal development with genetic progress for the sake of your own ego
Joshua Campbell
Thanks, any other tips? This is my first time dealing with a health problem like this.
Nathaniel Anderson
In here they do x-ray before removing it to verify there is something wrong with that tooth before handing you one hour dental surgeon time.
Guess stingy semi-socialist medicine with long long long long queues has its merits for once.
Leo Torres
I had my wizzys out and the relief after it was all done was something like this image complete with a heavenly chorus of angels.
Luis Phillips
ive had the same ringing for almost 10 years now, it doesnt go away , i don't notice it anymore though until someone brings it up
>first time dealing with a health problem welcome to the party pal since you caught it so early you might be able to solve it ... your tinnitus could be caused by grinding you do at night which would be your body 'searching' for the wisdoms that were taken from you... your body would grind at night to try and get your nonexistant wisdoms to come into contact with one another... its like having a phantom limb.
My advice to you is to chew a lot of gum to teach your body that those teeth no longer exist. Make sure you dont wake up clenching. good luck.
John Campbell
the more white noise you listen to the quicker the nerves will be retrained to respond to the frequencies that are missing
not my fault your brain isnt as plastic as mine
Xavier Hill
Thanks user, hopefully it'll get better
Dylan King
I let my wisdom teeth come in, one got infected and the whole side if my face blew up swollen and I spent a couple of days in the hospital
Juan Cox
backup for what? chewing? you can't chew with those teeth
Jose Rodriguez
Thanks, trying that right now.
Joshua Cox
probably because I still grind/clench senpai, i've got other things going on with my teeth besides the wisdom stuff. im sure the ringing will go away once i get everything worked out.
the body is very good at healing as long as you put it on the right path first... its a problem that may be solveable, just stay aware and apply critical thinking and you'll figure it out
that sucks wonder why wisdom teeth are so prone to infection . did you have good hygiene before?
>can't chew with wisdom teeth people actually believe this
Parker Young
because we didn't eat like pigs
Carson Moore
hes a shark they slide into place when others fall out fucking roaches
Jacob White
I once had to have my wisdom teeth removed, they all got infected and were in extreme fucking pain.
Oliver Young
all 4 wisdom tooth master race reporting in
they hurt a bit when coming out but apart from that i dont see any reason to pay to get them out
Elijah Nelson
you're right, i'm sorry
Chase Bell
>they slide into place when others fall out nah, they are supposed to all work if you're a hyperborean aryan nordic then you'd understand this

Leo Foster
>Pompeii Romans >Aryan m8
Carter Ramirez
i was obviously being a retard i know how they work i never had any removed
David Powell
People who get their wisdom teeth taken out might as well get circumcised while they're at it.
William Cooper
Thousands of dentists nearly went broke when fluoride was added to drinking water. Half these guys have boat payments, they had to think of something.
Brayden Rogers
totally depends on your jaw/teeth/genetics
some people never have issues with them
Landon Scott
>tonsils?! why would you ever need those!?
Elijah Wright
i wish i still had the x-rays. the dentist i went to (first time i'd seen one in over 10 years) wasn't sure what was going on with my teeth (no cavities though!) and just referred me to a surgeon. bottom ones were sideways, with one partially erupted and rotting. top ones were growing in random directions into my sinuses.
got put under, whole thing took 40 minutes although i was scheduled for 2 hours. no pain, no drysocket, nothing. even got hydrocodone AND percocets. didn't need it since i had totally recovered after 36 hours or so. felt like afterwards. my jaw looks sharper (bottom teeth were giving me fat cheeks), my voice isn't nasally anymore, i can breath through my nose at night... 5 years on and even my bottom teeth are straightening out.
not everyone is so lucky and i think it has a lot to do with needing it done and seeing the right dentist/surgeon. anyone about to get their wisdom teeth done should absolutely research the surgeon. mine was head of the dentistry faculty at a large state university.
Henry Bennett
I got mine out because of serious cavities.
>26yo
It hurt, but wounds have healed.
Elijah Gutierrez
>burgers get ripped off by doctors wanting to make more money why am I not surprised you people also pay like ten times as much for any medical procedure as in any other country
burgerland=third world
Robert Smith
No. I've still got all my wisdom teeth and they've all come out fine.
