I went to a corporate dental practice in my early 20's and they showed me via an x-ray that my wisdom teeth were practically horizontal and growing forward rather than upward. But the prognosis was that they would inevitably get infected at some super inconvenient moment. By whose definition of inconvenient though? There was, 10 years later, an infection that I chose not to ignore (it was clearly an infection), and I had the teeth extracted at that time. It was a hassle, it had to be dealt with promptly, but it was dealt with.
