I regret that I have only one upvote to give. I had two of my wisdom teeth out when I was younger, due to extreme pressure from my parents and dentist. Remembering the X-rays now, they would probably have grown in just fine (as did the other two). Adding injury to injury, during the procedure one of my healthy molars was broken, and the dentist (or oral surgeon — it was a long time ago) subsequently lied about it for years! In retrospect, the idea that wisdom teeth must be extracted because modern people's mouths just can't handle them really should have seemed spurious. What — everyone who's not a relatively wealthy American is in agonising pain his entire adult life? That just doesn't compute.
