Wisdom teeth

[Hitch]

Any thoughts on whether it would be a good idea to remove them as a preventative measure?

Doc says my teeth are healthy (thankfully), and I have plenty of room to keep the wisdom teeth. Those teeth are healthy too, but each time I visit the dentist they comment on them. Their concern is that wisdom teeth are often hard to clean. I have a great dentist and trust him, but sometimes think about a world where dental services are limited. I'd hate to have issues with these wisdom teeth in that situation.

It's bread and butter to the dentists. I have had 5 out of my 4 Wisdom teeth removed and everytime I go to the dentist they still find another one. So while you only get a max of 4, you can end up with more wisdom teeth subject to the dentists cash flow requirements. Mine has a very large student loan to repay.

Perhaps they are having a joke on us by calling them wisdom teeth??

I sometimes wonder. My dentist the family has known for years. He keeps saying my wisdom teeth are fine and healthy, but it's always a topic of discussion. Almost like eventually, they may be a problem.

Maybe in a time of financial hardship he will finally say they need to be removed. :) Only kidding, he's a good man.

I just sometimes think it might be better to remove them to prevent any problems. Then I think, why remove a healthy tooth.

I don't know....

We had wisdom teeth for thousands or millions of years and never needed them removed until recently.

Reminds me of circumzising newborn males.

It's all a bunch of bullshit.

I recently got suspicious of this myself. I have a daughter who is getting themin and the dentist recommended removal. We went to the consult. The dr essentially said that if you wait until 30+ yrs old, the roots go down into nerve area and if they are extracted, you run the risk of damaging the nerves. Guess what- same for all the teeth.

The way I see it, if you pull 4 of the 12 molars, you just reduced your grinding teeth by 30%. That means the remaining teeth have to do 30% more work.

Unless you have an extremely small mouth, I would say this is all money-making BS for the dental industry. They still don't admit that mercury in the mouth is hazardous.... although it is hazardous when it comes out.

taking them out is a money maker...

I want you to look at something okay:

Notice how Elvis' parents had wider faces. Elvis has a narrow face. No, it's not since they are old/fat, they were born with wider faces. This is how humans genetically are supposed to look! This is because older generations ate healthier diets, including plenty of raw milk. Elvis' grandparents did this and gave birth to their children (Elvis' parents) who had wide, fully developed cheekbones. You can tell if someone was born healthy by how wide their cheekbones are. Childbirth is also much easier and sometimes painless in native/aboriginal cultures where everyone has the wide cheekbones. Wide cheekbones is an indication the parents were well nourished and healthy. Older generations had straight teeth, never needed braces, and had plenty of room in their mouths for their wisdom teeth to come in. This is how humans are MEANT TO BE.

Some people have reversed this trend by drinking raw milk, eating a lot of meats, especially offal like liver (many aboriginal and native cultures prize the liver for it's health benefits.) They also avoid refined sugar, improperly treated grains, and vegetable oils. Here's an example from the Food Renegade:

Here's a solution provided by the Ramiel Nagel from the book Cure Tooth Decay (http://www.amazon.com/Cure-Tooth-Decay-Cavities-Nutrition/dp/0982021305), which I recommend everyone buy.

Thousands yes, there is no such thing as millions unless you have bought into the evolution lie.

Before the flood of Noah, man live upwards of 900+ years. During this lifespan, the "wisdom" teeth DO come in as the jaw widens after a few hundred years.
Skeletons of such people are claimed to be nethandral and artists draw their bodies with a lot of hair on them to make you think they are some type of ape-like creature ascended from man, which, of course is just a lie. Under narmal condictions, a person is supposed to get wiser with age, although this is not always true, it is generally true and if nothing else, more experienced. This is why they are called wisdom teeth.

Job 32:9 Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgment.

Well, I definitely have a wider face. Glad to know I look like I'm supposed to look. :)

Folks, thank you all. Great posts and great answers to my question.

Check out this link.... http://drlinagarcia.com/tooth_chart.php Its a tooth chart. It shows the connection between your teeth and different parts of your body. If you have a bad tooth, say like with a mercury filling or root canal on it, it can effect all the different parts of your body that its associated with. Your wisdom teeth are 17 32 16 1

sometimes, the wisdom teeth grow sideways into the adjacent teeth, and do not fully emerge in an adult.

i don't know about your wisdom teeth, but i do know it is worth taking the time to learn the numbering and terminology of your teeth.

so that way the dentists can't snow you with bullshit, and steal $1000 out of your wallet - unless it's necessary.

the teeth have surfaces - lingual (tongue side), mesial (towards back), distal (i forget), buccal, (i forget).


anyway, the objective is to be able to walk out of an appointment knowing exactly which teeth have problems and on which surfaces those problems are.

it's also a case where prevention & dental care works. for some people, sugar is especially acidic to the teeth. it relates to your saliva production and the pH of your saliva.


i respect your concern about entering TSHTF with your teeth in ship-shape.

i do wonder if some of the wisdom teeth removal is unnecessary.

one of the things the greedier dentists do today is to charge you extra for teeth cleaning. they call it "deep-scaling" and will sometimes offer you financing to pay for 4 sessions costing $300 each.

when that happened to me, i went to a local dental school. that's where i learned the teeth numbering and surface naming.


i suggest looking for a dental school near you, and being picky. i had one student who made it a point to show up late for appointments. i asked to be switched back a different student, whose work was so excellent that it was the thought of losing one of his crowns that gave me the incentive to stop drinking soda.

you can get a masterful or at least thoroughly conscientious student dentist assigned to you. the cost is 1/3 to 2/3 that of a normal dentist.
