(23-02-11) 6.7 million wisdom teeth removed unnecessarily each year

by Rami Nagel

(NaturalNews) A report by dentist Jay Friedman in the American Journal of
Public Health reveals that 67 percent or more of preventative wisdom teeth
removals are unnecessary. The article explains that most of the pain and
illness surrounding wisdom teeth are not caused by the teeth themselves as one
would expect, but rather the symptoms come from the surgery that removes the
wisdom teeth. Of the approximately 10,000,000 wisdom teeth removed each year in
the United States, less than 20 extractions have proven medical indications
which reference the requirement for extraction. (Footnote 1). In general, the
preventative extraction of wisdom teeth has become a public health disaster and
is a clear case of medically caused injury. Driven by lies, the wisdom tooth
extraction industry has turned our mouths into a financial goldmine. It makes
billions of dollars per year from performing these largely unnecessary
surgeries.

The Faulty Thinking Behind Wisdom Teeth Extractions
The wisdom of our teeth is that Nature put them there for a reason (to chew
our food well). Without wisdom teeth, we lose important biting surfaces. Lack
of good biting and biting surfaces has been connected to poor health and mental
impairments.

The medical theory goes that wisdom teeth are only to be removed if there are
clear symptoms indicating they are doing more harm than good. Yet this standard
of care is rarely kept in practice. Rather, pain and infection are commonly
used excuses to remove wisdom teeth when they erupt. However, in many cases,
minor treatments to the gum tissue are sufficient to deal with these problems
and the wisdom teeth do not need to be extracted. (F2). When wisdom teeth show
no symptoms, they do not need to be extracted out of the fear based principal
that there will be symptoms in the future.

Wisdom teeth are connected through acupuncture meridians to our small
intestine and the front of our pituitary gland. (F3) They are connected to our
central nervous system through the trigeminal nerve, which explains why people
could experience serious side effects from wisdom tooth removal.

The Pain and Suffering
Over the past 10 years, between 57,000 and 175,000 people have had permanent
tingling, prickling or numbness caused by nerve damage from the extraction of
wisdom teeth. (F4). Some of these people experience frequent shooting pains in
their head or face.

Because of the clear harm done by unnecessary wisdom teeth extraction, the
British National Health Service has adopted the following policy, "The practice
of prophylactic removal of pathology-free impacted third molars should be
discontinued."

Safe Alternatives To Wisdom Teeth Removal Do Exist
Most wisdom teeth can be left how they are. The research of Dentist Weston
Price showed that wisdom teeth might not fit in the jaw because of improper
growth and development of the jaw bones. This is a result of poor nutrition
from both the mother and father at least three months prior to conception.
Crooked wisdom teeth that do not properly erupt can be brought back into their
normal growth patterns by using palate expanding orthodontic appliances, and
carefully placed orthodontic wires to guide the wisdom teeth into their correct
position. This page gives resources to help find orthopedic orthodontists who
can support this type of natural treatment.

The millions of people who have their wisdom teeth permanently removed are
victims of lies by the dental industry. Their mouths have been turned into
profit centers. While surgeons get rich, people lose their teeth. In a large
percentage of cases, the removal of wisdom teeth was and continues to be
unnecessary.
