I had one pulled. I had heard so many horror stories about wisdom teeth
that I was really nervous. As it turned out, it was a breeze. It came
out because of a problem and there was on tooth opposite it. Most people
have to have them pulled because they are impacted. That was the case
with my son, who had two pulled on day and two the next. Not at all a
positive experience for him.
