Wisdom Tooth Extraction
-
At what age the wisdom tooth should be extracted?
In my opinion Wisdom teeth should only be removed if it(they) is(are) causing problem(s) in the mouth, or likely to cause problems. I'm 41 and not had mine removed. Don't fix what isn't broken works for me! I hate the dentist. (Not him personally, after all he was at school with me!)

Age of enlightenment?
Have you ever just looked at someone and knew the wheel was turning but the hamster was dead? Trying to understand the behavior of some people is like trying to smell the color 9.

What can go wrong if they are not causing problems and get extracted?

Only if/when they are a problem. I have all mine.

Becuase; a) Put yourself through the torment of removing them (if you hate the dentist etc.) b) discomfort for a period after having them removed c) potential to introduce infection to the open gums

They said I was wise beyond my years, so I had them extracted at 19. Lo and behold, I had 6 wisdom teeth! If you asked what time they should be extracted, I would say: Tooth Hurty

My kids and I all had our wisdom teeth out at 17 or 18 due to being severely impacted (on their side pushing forward.) My ex-wife also had that problem but didn't get hers out until she was 21 when they were causing serious pain and then one got infected.
