No doubt, the majority of you are like me; you lack your wisdom teeth. Much like me, you trusted your dentist when they told you the teeth had to come out. But have you ever wondered why you have to endure such pain? I mean, sure wisdom teeth can press your other teeth together and cause you severe pain. However, it makes me wonder, is there another way?
According to the American Journal of Public Health, over 65% of all removals are purely precautionary and not necessary. In fact, it has been proven that these third molars are connected to several aspects of our bodies, including several nerves and organs. IF you are like me, these facts make you wonder why have them removed if its unnecessary.
The truth is, dentists insist on removing these teeth because it is a multi-billion dollar revenue source for dentists. That makes it one of the biggest money makers for dentists, period. So, how would you feel if someone spoke out against your main revenue source? Thus the reason these teeth doctors don’t like it when people call taking them out a scam.
Another fact, one supported by dentists, is that eating healthy, and providing your body with the nutrients it needs to stay healthy, will allow your teeth to have plenty of room for all of them. It is also proven that a diet filled with sugary foods and drinks, along with white flour, will cause tooth and gum decay to run rampant in your mouth, and this causing your wisdom teeth, also known as the third molar, to not have room to break through.
Having your Wisdom Teeth removed can be dangerous
Somewhere between 57,000 and 175,000 people who have their wisdom teeth removed each year report feeling tingling and numbness afterwards that can be attributed to nerve damage. And, though unfortunate, there have been a few cases over the years of patients suddenly dying after having their wisdom teeth removed.
So, though it is not the most dangerous surgery you may endure, it may very well be at the top of the list for the least needed.
