My father knew a fellow who was having trouble with his teeth. His dentist convinced him that he'd be better off with all his teeth pulled and use dentures instead.

My father said he was very sorry he'd done that - no matter how bad his teeth were, they were better than dentures.

I remembered that story when I was 21 and the dentist wanted to pull all my wisdom teeth. I asked him what was wrong with them. He said nothing, but they were in a difficult spot to clean and I'd lose them by the time I was 30 from rot.

I changed dentists.

I'm old now, and my wisdom teeth are the healthiest teeth in my mouth :-)
