It is entirely possible that your dentist is correct. However, getting wisdom teeth removed at age 60 can be an ordeal. You need a second opinion by another qualified dentist, preferably an experienced oral surgeon. He should review your medical and health history, perform a thorough clinical exam and evaluate current x-rays before rendering his opinion.

Before agreeing to this surgery, make sure you are comfortable with all the risks, informed of the benefits you should expect from the procedure, and know what alternatives are available, including what happens if you do nothing. You should also know exactly what all this will cost before you agree to proceed.

Does abscess make fart go Honda?

man who is having gas problems explains to his doctor that every time he farts it sounds like Honda. The doctor does an examination and finds nothing wrong with the man. As a last resort he looks into the patient's mouth and finally spots the problem. "I'm sorry, you'll have to go to a dentist for your problem." So the man goes to see his dentist. After a quick exam, the dentist announces that the man has an abscess. "No problem, I'll have you fit and without your embarrassing problem in a jiffy," says the dentist.

How is an implied easement created?

An easement that is "implied" does not, in fact, legally exist - it is only IMPLIED. [Example: I own the farm field behind yours, and it is easier for me to reach it by driving my tractor over your property. We're both good friends and you have no problem with this arrangement, and I've been doing it for years. Therefore - even though there is no legally recorded easement over your property, there is an implied consent, because you have been allowing me to do it.]
