Wisdom Teeth, what's story?
My aunt had her 2nd wisdom tooth removed today!
It was a terrifying event I must say. Being in the medical field "teeth" are not my business (cardiology is), but I am wondering how many readers have a story that lead up to having that very smart tooth extracted and how are you doing now?
She's worried by all the mythology associated with the extraction of one's wisdom tooth -
I say the strange myths are poppycock - supposedly we have evolved to a stage of not needing them anymore and that's all to it.

I have two brothers, one has his 3rd molars and the other, like myself, had to have them removed. Most people do not have the room for them. On a strange note. Having been in dentistry for 30 years, 28 with the same dentist, we also saw two people with supernumerary 3rd molars. That is two of every 3rd molar (8 total) in all four quadrants. Extremely rare!
