I had 3 out of 4 of my wisdom teeth removed by the time I was 40, then had the last one done when I was in my 60s. The degree of discomfort was a lot more serious in my 60s. I wonder if dentists are starting to remove more wisdom teeth while people are younger rather than trying to preserve them (there was even a filling in my last wisdom tooth).
By the way, @17 which is a lower left jaw hole, you should also want 1, 16 and 32 if you really want to keep all of your wisdom teeth as a numerical legend.

I never had mine removed, now I know how wise I was.

That’s really funny. Many years ago I made up an “old axiom”: it’s not like pulling teeth, it’s like putting them back in.
