Question:
Removing wisdom teeth, should I? Urgent, I have an appointment in 3 hours! Please advise!!?
I have an appointment with a dentist at 6:30 tonight, in 3 hours for upper jaw wisdom tooth removal.
My upper jaw wisdom teeth came out quite recently (half of them are out) and they're not causing any problems except:
as they're growing they're pushing my two front teeth on top of each other which has already caused caries (because the part of my gum between my front teeth frequently bleeds because they're so close together) and well it doesnt look nice having one tooth on top of the other. It's not severe yet so I've been advised by a dentist to get my wisdom teeth removed and give the front teeth time to see if they move back and spread out like they were before.
Also, my dentist hasn't done an X-Ray of my teeth before removal. Should he?
But, on the other hand, I have been told not to remove wisdom teeth if they're perfectly healthy. Other people tell me it's best to get braces for my front teeth but not touch my wisdom teeth.
Can anyone advise what to do?

Didn't you get a few opinions from a few dentists? Remember an MD doesn't make them God. They need to pay the bills too. Always get a second opinion!
