Dentistry needs an overhall in general. It seems antiquated, and I was hopeful when Wally Dental care raised VC funding that this was a new direction for dentistry, but it seems to be just dentist as a subscription.

I've never really had problems with my teeth and don't go to the dentist often. The last time I went they told me I needed to get my wisdom teeth out. Do they both me? No. Not only that, but in order to get them out, because I have deep roots, they would need to chip away at both my jaw and cheek bones to get them out.

I thought the entire thing was funny when I kept pushing for the "why do these need to come out" and the response was, well, without taking them out, we can't guarantee that you won't need to get them out later and that would be even more difficult then.

But the one way we can guarantee we don't need to take them out later is to take them out now.

I haven't been back to the dentist again.

You act as if there isn't a science to it but there is...

Wisdom teeth that don't have room cause other teeth to misalign, dissolve the enamel and cause the tooth next to them to fail overtime, and if impacted can lead to jawbone infections, which underneath the lower molars are in the most dangerous spot they could be for causing life threatening consequences if unlucky or untreated...
