As far as I can remember, when I had my wisdom teeth removed in my early teens, about 15 years ago, they were not causing any problems. I wasn’t in pain. They were somewhat impacted, or growing in at a bit of an angle. My parents decided to go ahead with the surgery to remove them anyway.
“There was a lot of blood,” the doctors told me first thing after waking up — i.e., hemorrhaging. That, and the lingering effects of anesthesia, explained why, for the next several hours, I had to be rolled around in a wheelchair.
