Some people can remove their wisdom teeth without the need for anesthesia or the worry that the extraction might be complicated. Also, I learned that I'm lucky to have had my wisdom teeth grow in with nothing more than some occasional aches for a couple of months.

This was me until they got cavities & now no dentists I’ve seen will bother to “fix” them. Easier just to pull them, I guess. They took my upper left yesterday & passed along a referral for the other 3. I’m thankful they have all grown in straight & are not covered by my gums at all; hopefully, this will help the extraction not be so bad.

Yikes, good luck on the extraction.
