In case where you have a wisdom tooth in place that sometimes feels like it may have to be removed, sooner or later, then go get it removed. The sooner the better. If for the most of time the tooth doesn’t bother you or hurt, it’s easy to keep procrastinating and postponing the operation for years or even decades.
Trust me, the healing process is a wholly different beast when you’re in your 50’s compared to if you were in your 20’s or 30’s.
An unexpected benefit of having my wisdom teeth removed: clearer sinuses 😌
I used to wake up and I could feel my swollen sinuses blocking my ears and slightly obstructing my nasal passage. I got my wisdom teeth removed, and the problem has almost entirely gone.
It makes sense, given that your teeth are right next to your sinuses, but nobody ever mentions that, so it didn’t occur to me.
