My children all had dental appointments in September. They were all regular check-ups but Anna did have a back tooth that had been bothering her. I'm paying $1,400/month to keep the conference insurance on my children and me. That is going up to around $1,800/month - more if I want to keep dental - in January 2014 and I just cannot pay that. So, since there will be some major insurance changes coming, I also requested panoramic x-rays be done on all 3 children while I still have coverage.
I wish I could remember but I just do not remember if Rob ever had any wisdom teeth. His mother said she didn't think he did.
I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth removed when I was in college. It wasn't fun. I ended up with dry sockets.
It seems that all 4 of our children have "wisdom!"
Crystol had her wisdom teeth removed while she was in college - can't exactly remember her age but I very well remember the days afterward while taking care of her and her very young siblings! She ended up with at least 1 dry socket - maybe 2 - can't remember for sure.
As of now, my youngest - Luke - who is only 10, already has 2 wisdom teeth descending but so far so good on him. Only time will tell if he will have the other 2 or if any of them will be an issue.
As of now, Wesley - who is only 13, already has all 4 of his wisdom teeth descending but they're not far down enough to tell if they will be a problem or not.
Turns out that the back tooth that has been bothering Anna (17 yrs. old) is actually a wisdom tooth that has broken through and is cutting the opposite gum as she chews so it needs to come out. Her other 3 wisdom teeth are impacted and need to come out as well.
So please keep her in your prayers tomorrow as she will be having all 4 of her wisdom teeth surgically removed.
Thank you!
