  • Wisdom teeth extraction or filling?

    First of all to consider is the fact that the assessment and plan of when you were a teen was wrong due to the fact that one tooth is still impacted. The wait and see concept works for somethings but not all. An appropriately trained and skilled professional evaluating the situation as a teen could have more accurately assessed the situation. Who evaluated the situation? An oral surgeon or other type dentist? Oral surgeon are the ones that frequently have to deal with the poor decisions made for people when they are teens by non oral surgeons. Also to consider in the defense of the opinion when you were a teen is continuous monitoring, which appears to not have happened, otherwise this present situation would have been discovered earlier. The tooth that is impacted did not just become impacted, it has always been impacted ever since. As a result it would be best not to base any future plans or decisions on past assessments as they were wrong, You probably should have had those teeth removed many years ago, perhaps around 18-20 ish. You will do just fine without these teeth versus the cost, pain and so on of trying to retain them over the years. They will eventually be at a point of needing to be removed based on what’s happening now. Remember the effects of dental disease occurs as a function of time. You just have not had enough time at 28. READ MORE
