| You dentist can take a panoramic x-ray of your mouth. this will show the wisdom teeth and what they are doing under the gum.
The dentist and oral surgeon can determine if they need to come out. The "best" time seems to be when they are 'ripe' - with some root but not so the root is too deep. Waiting too long can cause complications with the extraction for sure.
Champs06 - what you need to do is call you dentist and call WP. If they are not bothering you right now - the you can probably wait and get them out on Army's dime.
Anyone with dental insurance that covers wisdom teeth extraction should definitely see an oral surgeon and get a determination - that way you can just get them out before you report. |
