I thought I could live happily without having them removed.  However they start bothering me since a few months ago.  It is not toothache, but I sorta feel funny about them.  Last week when I have my dental check, the dentist took a X-ray for my whole jaw.  He said that I will have to take them out eventually.  So I decided it is better to remove them sooner than later.  Today I have the consultation session with the oral surgent.  It turns out that I can only remove 3 out of 4 wisdom teeth.  The remaining bury deep down and contact with my nerves.  It could be complicate to remove it.  The surgent said there is only a 2% change that teeth will ever have problem.  It doesn&#8217;t worth the risk.  I have scheduled my surgery next Thursday.  That won&#8217;t be a pleasent experience.  On my way home, I just couldn&#8217;t stop asking why human has wisdom teeth.  I guess wisdom teeth is a perfect counter argument against intelligent design.  Why would God design something that bring us so much trouble.  Wisdom teeth can only be explained by evolution.  Our pre-historic ancestor has better jaws and their tooth wear off easily due to poor dental hygiene, therefore having some extra tooth could be useful.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Finally, it is the time to say good bye to my wisdom teeth.
