Anyway, I just tell them that if I ever experience a problem with them, I'll let them know. So far, so good.

You should go to my dentist's office. (Sunshine Dental in Sunridge Mall). They are against pulling wisdom teeth for no reason. They even gave me a filling on one of my wisdom teeth once. As long as they are functional and not too rotten they won't pull them. I eventually had to get 3 out 4 wisdom's pulled and it was easy for me. (I don't take very good care of my teeth...) Had my mouth frozen and was out of there in 5 minutes. But you might want to try to hang on to your wisdom teeth if you can. There are stem cells in there and in the near future they might even be able to re-grow other teeth from your wisdom's.
