@TheTammyTube same with in nz, but i think that they have 'small' mouths so theyed have a croweded mouth without them being taken out. . I think?

@TheTammyTube I'm certain there was a valid reason to get their wisdom teeth out. Their orthodontist had ordered it, so they very likely had impacted widom teeth that would misalign the rest of their teeth had they been left alone. I had the same issue.

@TheTammyTube Maybe we just have shitty genes over here, but a lot of people get impacted wisdom teeth and they can be incredibly painful. There was absolutely no room on my bottom jaw and so they were so impacted that the one was actually beginning to grow into my jaw bone. They had to put me under and dislocate my jaw to deal with it. It was awful :(

Me, I was lucky, I was born without mine, I feel so sorry for all of you who had to suffer through that, but then again, god has tested me in so many other ways so I can understand your pain in a way :)

psh if i was little and had a loft in my room i would sleep up there all the time, and go up there the second my parents left the room!

@TheTammyTube Don't stereotype American doctors. ): My dentist only removed one wisdom teeth because it was starting to grow out and it really was hurting me. I still have 3 left though.

I had to get my top wisdom teeth pulled out when I was 25. I had great dentists. The only part of the procedure that hurt was paying the bill.

I relate to Jill so much.
I have a severe disdain for doctors/dentists. I'm suffering wisdom teeth problems right now.
Minor aches and pains but as much as I'd like to believe that it's wisdom teeth (had x-rays) I won't budge and go under until I'm certain.
I had a botched medical procedure (rhino-catheter) when I was 17.
The catheter was a size too big and left in 4days instead of the normal 1 1/2.
My sinuses on that side have been screwed up ever since.

@TheTammyTube The problem is that as you get older, your wisdom teeth eventually grow roots/nerves that connect to your jaw. If you have your w-teeth removed after that happens, the chances that you will loose the feeling/use of that side of your face grows exponentially. It's a scarey thought. Although you're right. Most doctors in the us are out for the money and tell you that you have to do things that you really don't need.
Most families with only two kids don't have that kind of unity. Awesome how the 20 of them have such unity together. So sweet.

In Australia you don't get wisdom teeth removed for no reason! Like the dentist here is removing perfectly healthy teeth incase in the future they have problems.
American doctors are so over the top and so invasive! Most people don't have any problems with wisdoms, and if they do they can easily remove them as adults.
