Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / March 2006Wisdom Teeth, Insurance and braces
Hello. I am a 26 year old with impacted wisdom teeth. I only have 3 and don't see any signs or problems from them yet. Would it be wise to figure out a way to get them out? I really would like to get braces and I am afraid that this may need to be done before they get put on. I really don't have the money to pay for either procedure, as I am a student so I am also wondering about insurance(for the wisdom teeth extraction).Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! While dentists' opinions on the matter are divided in the US, in the U it's recommended not to remove non-symptomatic impacted wisdom teeth You can find more info here http://www.nice.org.uk/page.aspx?o=50 chainsaw Wrote: > Hello.

Joel -- Joel344 ___________________________ There are good reasons to keep impacted wisdom teeth, and there are also many good reasons to remove them. The paper above does have some useful information about the choice, although the paper is primarily administrative and only partially clinical. It would be wise to remember that this paper was written for policy reasons by the NHS, whose primary concern is cost containment. William S.

They don't cite any studies, though -- letsconnec 'Dental Fear Central - The Forum (http://www.dentalfearcentral.org/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl |
