I am 23 years old and scheduled to get all 4 of mine out in a month, but this is based on my dentists recommendations only. The teeth have never given me any pain or trouble, and while I can see on the xray the top ones are slightly growing towards my cheek, and the bottoms a little out of place, it really looked quite fine! Nothing like some of the xrays Ive seen as examples of bad wisdom teeth.
The oral surgeon's reasoning for getting them out seems silly. He keeps only saying "to prevent future problems" and used an example of a 70 year old! As if I care about having bad teeth when I'm 70! I'm really not sure whether to go ahead with the surgery in a month, or wait for any problems, IF ANY ever come. Right now this seems like really unnessecary surgery, especially if the best example he can give me is having problems when I'm 70!
Anyone in their 30s and 40s having problems, and needing to get them out? If I truly believed I was getting them out now to prevent problems in my 30s or 40s then I'd do it, but it all sounds like a bunch of BS, sorry to say! Any advice?
