Hi Cara,

Leave the wisdom tooth alone in my opinion (as unprofessional as it is). I had a doctor who is experienced in health issues who told me to just leave mine alone and if they were not causing problems, why get them out? I ignored him and did it anyway.

So with my virus and then the later wisdom tooth removal, my health was never worse and has never gotten better. Again, I do not know exactly what is to blame, but that's the order of events pretty much and all coincided with a dramatic worsening of health and basically my life.

They tell you to remove wisdom teeth for ANY reason. Not being able to clean them as well (big deal, just make some extra effort). That they are impacted and may cause future infection (removing them coincided with my life being ruined, so I didn't need to wait for any imagined future event). I had never previously had issues like that prior to the removal. In fact, they were only a little bit impacted and never posed a problem. I trusted the dentist unfortunately and look where it got me? A total and utter nightmare followed.

As for the rest of your questions? I am not sure enough to make comments on it all. Too many dentists do it differently for me to know who has it "right".
