I have a though dilemma. I got a date for a wisdom teeth surgery but It’s one day before a concert. Could something bad happen if I attend both? I will only drink water on the concert.

    Why are you having them out? If it’s cause they’re causing you pain then you might be better having them out. Pain should be less after even soon.

      My dentistrecommended me to pull it out, even though I feel no pain currently. Her reasoning was that probably it could cause pain after a while, so best to pull it out before that happens.

        US? I’ve heard about this. You really don’t need to pull them if they’re not an issue. No other country does that. Here they take them out if they grow in wrong or if you don’t have enough space and they’re squashing the other teeth, but never ‘just in case’.

          Oh wow then I’m gonna surprise you. It’s a private clinic in Hungary and the wisdom teeth surgery is done at general hospital, so they don’t benefit from this financially at all.

            How odd. I still wouldn’t if they’re not an issue. It’s a lot to go through if you don’t need it.

          Depending on how they are growing, there is good reason for lots of people to have them removed early.

          If they’re growing in straight, nothing to worry about, just let them go. But if they’re not, they’ll grow sideways, get impacted, fuck up the alignment of your teeth, potentially develop a cyst or bacterial infection, and leave people with permanent jaw alignment disorders.

          It’s not a guarantee that these things will occur, but the idea of preventative medicine is to be better safe than sorry, before it becomes a much harder problem to solve.

          Ultimately I trust what the medical expert advises, and my dentist had advised me to have them removed.

        I still have mine at 33 and I’m in the US. No pain. Don’t understand why the dentist would recommend getting them removed if they’re growing in straight and not causing pain.
