[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 513805, member: 84"] Well, the only thing I can offer other than what has already been said.......... Could it be she's obsessing over the potential "future" pain the wisdom teeth could cause? In her age group a lot of kids would be getting them removed for that reason.......shifting of teeth, horrible pain due to not having enough room ect. Maybe she's hoping to opt out of all that? Unfortunately though, if dentist feels she has room and shouldn't have them pulled.........then she should leave them alone. Extraction of the wisdom teeth should only be done with good reason. sister in law had no choice but to have his removed. There was no room for them to come in and they were already causing him pain. Trust me, for about 3 days he was not a happy camper even with pain medications. They took them all at once. ugh in my opinion a bad idea. I don't think either of my girls have had them removed, I can't remember if they did. Travis still has his. Mine, well.......no room whatsoever. Luckily I had none on top at all. (dentist found that odd, but I was also missing an adult tooth up there as well) Lower ones were pure hades to remove. First one they had to literally break my jaw (under IV anesthetic) to remove. Second one.........was a nitemare to put it mildly. They split it to make it "easier".......then could NOT get it out. It wound up staying put in the split state for about 14 yrs until it was so bad it had to be pulled, by then it all but fell out. ugh [/QUOTE]
