[QUOTE="Son of Butch, post: 1338492, member: 14585"] It was reported in a local TV news story here in Minnesota last night... The American Dental Association guidelines recommend removing wisdom teeth only if and when they cause problems. The ADA study determined only 12% of the wisdom teeth removed per year fall within their recommended guidelines. The ADA deemed 88% of the surgeries to remove wisdom teeth as unnecessary surgery. Then why has this been happening? According to the ADA's own study the answer was economics. The study estimated that if oral surgeons followed guidelines and only did necessary surgery their income would fall 60% per year. Oral surgeons #1 excuse for not following ADA guidelines was that they were heading off future problems, but in reality the study found oral surgery outside of the guidelines created more long term problems not less. They likened having wisdom teeth removed just in case... to a doctor removing an appendix just in case. [/QUOTE]
