no room in my mouth for them. The dentist gave me novocaine and just yanked them but it was an ordeal because two had hooked roots. But he gave me a great deal on the bill because I paid up front all at once so I didn't complain too much.

They serve a purpose - my husband lost four of his back molars when he was young - no dental care and they were rotten and had to be pulled. His wisdom teeth came in and filled in the gap.
