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???

The problem with only doing 2 is that then the others will grow in, and when they don't have something to stop against (ie the two teeth you had removed) they'll keep growing, and the only way to stop this is to have special wire brace thingies put int. Trust me from experience, that wire brace thingie *sucks*. I had three second molars and one wisdom tooth removed because of a severe infection and then my wisdom teeth were allowed to grow in to where the second molars were (so I'm still 75% wise! Woohoo!), but for the several years it took all of that to happen I had a little mini brace between my one remaining second molar and the tooth next to it to keep it from growing and falling out, and it was really lame.

Well, not really. The pair I'm definitely getting removed is the top and bottom 3rd molars on the right, and the pair I'm considering is the same pair on the left. As far apart as possible.

Ohhhhhhhhhhh! That's different. I was thinking you meant "just the tops" or "just the bottoms."

I wouldn't be able to do that just because I'd hate the imbalance, but that's just little old slightly OCD me speaking... Just get it over with, man!
