Wisdomtoothectomy in 30 days! Definitely getting the right ones out, and have to decide whether to get the left ones out too. (The left ones have never bothered me before. On the other hand, they're likely to get worse as I get older, and also harder to remove. Also, I have a significantly higher chance of nerve damage than in a normal wisdom tooth removal, which will also only get worse.)

Wheee! Are you as excited as I am???

Just get the unpleasantness over with in one go.

Yeah be miserable just once.

That assumes there will be a second time! I guess I wasn't clear enough about the possibility (kinda low, but far from impossible) that I'll never need the other two done.

I just imagine that getting 4 yanked out is just as miserable as having 2 (since it just goes "difficult to eat" to "slightly more difficult to eat", not a 2x multiplier). So might as well just do it, I dunno.

Though I got all 4 yanked at once, so maybe 2 is a walk in the park. :p

This. Scruffy.jpg. Etc.

I had to have one out at one point due to breakage and an infection, and I wanted to get all four, but couldn't schedule it at the time. When I had to get another yanked another due to breakage (before the infection, this time), bit the bullet (as it were), and let me tell you, it hurt less getting all three at once, and they healed up more quickly.

In other words, if the cost differential isn't prohibitive, better safe than sorry.
