Then my dentist said I had cavities in one of my wisdom teeth and she wouldn't even think of filling them. I haven't had a cavity in years and these were in teeth that were impossible to fill as they were.
I have seen wisdom teeth be decayed and not filled because when filling a tooth it is important to keep things dry and towards the posterior of the mouth it becomes difficult. They usually leave them alone until it is time to pull them and they just "watch" them in the meantime
I have had many teeth pulled as a child to make room for my permanent teeth. The worst was when they pulled 2 baby teeth and then at the same time went up in my gums and pulled the permanent ones....PAINFUL~~ The dentist's assistant was just rubbing my hand as i was crying saying he is almost finished!
As I grew up I knew I wanted to work in dentistry. As a hygienist I love working with kids explaining to them how important it is to keep there teeth clean to help so they don't have problems as an adult
