[QUOTE="keista, post: 513831, member: 11965"] See, I'm confused here. I've had two dentists tell me that these days wisdom teeth are removed as a matter of routine. Starting at 16 years of age. They x-ray to make sure the buds are fully erupted because if one's just floating around, it's a trickier surgery. BUT the ones that are just "floating around" are the ones that really need to be removed because studies have found that un-erupted wisdom teeth have a higher incidence of oral cancer. So, at least down here, they yank them while kids are young and still on parent's insurance. [/QUOTE]
