visit a government clinic.
The treatment should be free or cost almost nothing.
The 3rd molar or wisdom teeth are functionally almost useless.
Many times, it only causes more problems.
Impaction, carious (coz difficult to reach with normal toothbrush)

U have to remove the operculum or food will get stuck underneath it & overtime will cause caries.

As your upper wisdom teeth are missing, u don't have the problem of traumatizing the operculum where u bite on it = painful.

I'm not sure if i want to extract the teeth or not.
I don't have all 4 wisdom teeth.
Congenitally missing. Luckily tongue.gif
Up to u.

This is the 1st time i heard of the link between missing wisdom tooth & ovarian cancer.
Mind giving any links to support that?

Better go and see a dentist. If the wisdom tooth is causing gum problems, better remove it else you might end up with gum disease

In the US, believe it or not, medical insurance companies usually require all 4 wisdom teeth to be extracted out, even before they pop up. My sister had to do it as well. Did it under GA. Porridge for a week. >.>
