I’ve been told I need this wisdom tooth removed today…

Good luck, hope your don't have too much pain. 🙏🏻

One can never have enough wisdom, that's why I kept mine...LOL 😄
(they are all actually there but have never bothered me or tried to come in)

I got two removed when I was a teen.

If I recall, the IV insertion in my arm hurt more than the post-operative pain, which was more soreness than pain.

Oh wow, best of luck! I had all 4 removed and it wasn’t fun but had to be done, you will shake it off in a week

Is it giving you problems?
If not, it might just be a money-grab for the dentist.

But if it really needs to be, it is not horrible, might be a little sore for a couple days but that's all.

If it's giving you a hard time yes you need to remove it.

Just don't suck anything for the first week, like use a straw. That was the worst part of having mine out. Not a huge deal otherwise.

You will be okay 😊

That's the kinda news that's hard to enjoy

You should before it get's worse.

Better out then in...

Get them all removed. No point in going through all that agony and then doing it all again in a few years.
