Removing your wisdom teeth might not be a smart move

 
In April, 17-year-old Jenny Olenick was having her wisdom teeth removed when she died due to lack of oxygen while under anesthesia. Just last week, another teen was found dead in his bed the day after his third molars were taken out.

 

The procedure is performed on 5 million Americans every year. And while parents and teens have to sign the standard release to go under anesthesia, the safety and importance of the out-patient surgery itself is being called into question.

 

The extraction causes roughly 11,000 complications annually, ranging from permanent nerve damage to brain tissue infections, ABC News reports. And still the surgery is strongly recommended by the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons to “prevent future problems.”

 

In reality, these future problems affect only 12 percent of those with impacted wisdom teeth. That’s the same exact chance you could come down with appendicitis. And as far as we know, girls aren’t handing over their appendices when they hit their teen years. Hmm…

 

Have you had your wisdom teeth removed, babes? Will you?

Okay, some people do have some complications with this and I can totally agree with you guys to be kinda scared and freaked out. Think though, not many people have complications. You NEED to get them taken out too. Not everyone does get their wisdom teeth, if both your parents did you may get them. Even if both your parents didn't get them you still could. Everyone usually gets braces. Now it is the 21st century and kids want nice teeth. (So did I!) When your wisdom teeth grow in they push the teeth in your mouth so all the braces and everything you got was for nothing! Also wisdom teeth are like a large molar, they don't fit in your mouth right. They hurt as the try to push your teeth out of the way. Getting them out may be scary and a pain, but it is worth it. My older sister got them out. (She is fine and was fine!) She said you are sore but it was worth it. The wisdom teeth hurt her whole mouth. If you don't get your wisdom teeth out you can still have health problems!!!

Thank you a lot for providing individuals with an exceptionally terrific opportunity to read from this site. It's usually very ideal and also full of amusement for me and my office peers to search the blog the equivalent of three times in a week to read through the fresh secrets you have got.

i was wordering what is an appendices and if u have to take it out




Hey girlie,

The medical condition "appendicitis" is basically when your appendix becomes swollen. Your appendix is a "pouch" located at the beginning of your large intestine and, when it starts to swell up, doctors need to take it out so it doesn't burst. You might know you have appendicitis if you have pain in your lower right abdomen, it hurts worse when you walk/press on it, you experience fever-like symptoms, etc. But the pain is the #1 sign <3

Take the stairs more than once. When you’re at home, run up and down the stairs three or four times before heading to your room. It’s a sneaky way to stay active.
