The Parents Guide to Wisdom Teeth

I recently came across a press release promoting a book entitled “The Parent’s Guide to Wisdom Teeth.”

If you are a parent and thinking about the surgery for a child, I would NOT recommend purchasing this book.

The main conclusion offered by this book is found on the book’s website…

“It is far better to assume a lower degree of surgical risk, paying the cost “up front” (which is likely to be less in terms of money and time) at an earlier age than to gamble on a more risky, difficult and uncomfortable experience later in life when problems arise”

I would say that it is better to wait until problem’s arise before removing wisdom teeth due to the risks and potential lasting complications of wisdom teeth removal surgery. If a complication arises wouldn’t it be better to only deal with it for less years than if you would have elected to have the wisdom teeth removed when they may not cause problems in the future and have to deal with the complication for a longer period of time.

I encourage you to explore my website further if you have not already done so to further dig into the topic of wisdom teeth removal.
