[quote=Anonymous]Is this the thing now for all teens? DD has been through years of orthodontia, and now one wisdom tooth has erupted. She has no pain or swelling. X rays done at the dentist supposedly show impaction. We went for a surgical consult and of course extraction of all 4 is recommended. I've read the literature and understand that for a true impaction , extraction is needed. But part of me is resistant to this: I never had mine removed. DH had his removed in his 20's. The surgeon claims that if we don't get them out soon, we run the risk of infection. I had orthodontia as a child and my wisdom teeth were fine, still have them and no problems. I thought one of the reasons for braces is to make room for the wisdom teeth? I kind of feel like we are being put on a conveyor belt. Of course I want to do what is best for my child, but why the big rush? Any experiences or input appreciated![/quote]
