Look, where i live here, they just do it raw with a numbing shot that doesn't really numb as it should, my mom got her jaw broken when she was 17 from this and when she yawns her jaw still pops out of the socket, i am 20, i got my first caivity this year and i already got it fixed with a little bit of surface cleaning and fill, but the doctor the second that she saw, aligned and healthy wisdome teeth that never caused pain she told me to remove them, and actually called me if i want an appointment for their removal, i told her if any of my teeth have issues it is my own fault for not taking care of them, untill i don't feel an issue in my teeth or pain or gum issues i really don't see a reason to fix an unexisting problem, if the next wisdom tooth causes me issues yes i will get it removed but believe me i have no power to push trough something like teeth pulling without anesthesia. I had my trauma from mother actually sitting on me and pulling my teeth all the time when i was a kid, i cannot do it more with teeth that cauze 100x more pain than those baby teeth with all four of my wisdom teeth. I cannot

Get it done you guys. After the procedure be careful not to swig water down for a couple of days or you could wipe out the stitches and bleed for 24-48 hours. That's what happened to me.
