What age did your teens get their wisdom teeth removed?
My two older boys got them out at the same time. They were 14 & 15 or 15 & 16 (memory is failing me).
DD age 15 just got her's out last week. DS age 16 will be getting his out either over Thanksgiving, Christmas, or a longer weekend. DD was bothering her so she got her's done first. DS looks more impacted than hers but he says they are not bothering him.
Our oral surgeon charged just under $2,000 for DD but our insurance is suppose to reimburse us 80%.
Older boys it has been too long for me to remember what we paid. LOL.
I am surprised many of my DD friends have not had theirs out yet. Just a couple friends that are Senior's in high school. I know when I was in the military, a lot of young folks came in with wisdom teeth and the military removed them within the first year or two of service. I know not everyone has good dental insurance.
