D3's & D4's, I'm looking at you here
I've been putting it off, but I'm afraid the time has come to get my wisdom teeth removed. #17 & 32 are both impacted, but there's no pain/inflammation/etc associated with them; the only problem is they're starting to cause crowding (25 is getting displaced labially, 22 lingually). Those two are definitely coming out.
My question is about 1 and 16. There appears to be enough room for them, so is there any compelling reason to get them taken out? Getting 3rds removed is painful, and past victims tell me getting all four at once is misery
What I'd like to know: A) In y'all's expert opinions, should I get all four out, or just the two causing problems? B) Is this something I could have done at the school, or should I have my dentist/OMS do it?
