I had to have a wisdom tooth extracted a couple of months ago.  It had had a mercury filling removed and had ozone treatment and a partial crown a year ago, but it became abscessed.  The dentist said that I had two choices, root canal or extraction.  He said that he wouldn't have root canals

Pat -- I read your post several times, and I'm still confused. I can't figure out how you could have a gap, or worry about a missing wisdom tooth showing -- when wisdom teeth are the further-most back teeth in the mouth, very close to the jaw hinge. Most people lose their wisdom teeth early

It isn't that bad, Pat. I lost not only my wisdom tooth on one side, but I also lost three others next to that wisdom tooth.. No one has commented; I am still making new friends; I totally ignore it, and no one has asked me about it. In fact, I am glad for this reminder because I used to be so

Be very careful of pulling wisdom teeth. I would use a Godzilla zapping device to get rid of any potential infections before I would pull any teeth. You can damage the lingual (and other) nerves permanently if you aren't careful and that would cause a lifetime of pain and suffering in your jaw
