A Dental Theory...

The Wisdom tooth...

When you are growing up you'll be told you have wisdom teeth, anywhere from 0-4 molars that only need to be pulled if need be...

**UPDATE**
...come to find out there can be more than 4 wisdom teeth.

We say PULL EM!

You'll want to pull them out as soon as it is safe to pull them out because you won't need them...ever!

The theory goes that the dentist doesn't want you to pull them because these are money makers...

Teeth come in crooked and need to be straightened so they immediately put on braces and tell you that this is the right thing to do, but we disagree.

If you were to just pull the Wisdom teeth there will be enough room for the remaining 28 teeth to grow and adjust naturally.

sidenote: We're sure there are exceptions to the rule, but that number is far less than the current average.

Your teeth grow and need that room to fully develop and without the wisdom teeth will reduce a lot of cracked teeth, pricey crown repairs and braces...

The only other hurdle you have to go over in your mind is to convince yourself that you don't need the Wisdom tooth/teeth none of them remove them ALLLLL...and that's a...theory...
