My bottom wisdom teeth began to appear around the age of 28 and older. They were slightly impacted, but nothing was wrong with them and I had NO problems. Stupidly enough, I went to a dentist to have them checked and she said I should have them out in case they created problems down the line becuase they were not completely exposed, but partially.

They were removed and they were perfect teeth, fully formed, straight and I wondered if I had made a mistake, but thought no more of it. Later down the line, my health is now virtually destroyed and I lost weight and have had nothing but illness. Do I attribute it to the removal? I don't know, but suspect it has played a role.

So this dentist, far from preventing problems, probably created them and got paid to do so.
