Differences between American and English Thought

It’s clear that there are large differences between what American and European doctors think with regards to the removal of wisdom teeth.

 

Since 1997, dental surgeons inEngland have been following guidelines stating to not remove wisdom teeth unless there is evidence of disease. Further inflammation of the gingivia surrounding the crown of a tooth also warrants removal.

It is also common practice in England for doctor’s to cancel any unnecessary planned operations. These guidelines also save millions of dollars each year.
