My dentist recommended that I have my wisdom teeth removed. He told me that there was no space for them in my mouth. However, since I wasn't in pain at the time and was low on funds, I did not proceed with his recommendation. Unfortunately, less than a year later, I woke up with some tooth pain and discomfort in the back of my mouth. I took a few pain relieving pills and didn't think much about it. But the pain got worse and finally I made my way to the dentist. By that point in time, my wisdom teeth were impacted and needed to be removed. This ended up costing more money than if I would have just done it when my dentist recommended it. If your dentist is recommending you have your wisdom teeth extracted, learn from me and do it before it becomes problematic!
