Ask my sister, who got braces for a second time at thirty, about how little things can screw up your whole set of teeth.

Wisdom teeth are nasty like that and just because they're fine now doesn't mean they won't wreak havoc later.

Is he trying to make a buck off the teeth whitening? Absolutely. Is there anything wrong with that? Absolutely not. It's just cosmetic, so he wants to offer his services to make you feel better about yourself. I trust you're not going around hating every single company who ever marketed or advertised, so why is your dentist an exception? Teeth whitening is a take-it-or-leave-it issue, so there's nothing to get up in arms about.

You'd be a fool, however, to discount his advice when it comes to the wisdom teeth. Sure, there's a very small chance that they'll never give you any problems, but the damage they can deal if they are a problem is immense. And who would know the most about how teeth grow and when problems could arise from not removing wisdom teeth?

That's right, a dentist.

Shut up and defer to his knowledge and training.
