That should say Teeth.

The last time I visited the dentist, I was told that my wisdom teeth would likely have to come out, but that we could wait a few months to see what happens... that was about 3 years ago, and I've not been back since. My teeth, to the naked eye, seem to be fine, and my jaw certainly feels okay, but I'm just curious as to whether or not there could be some long term effects of not having them out... am I in the clear? Or would I be better off going to the dentist "just to be safe"? I should note that I'm not currently insured(the joys of freelancing!), so going to the Dentist isn't a small thing for me. Thanks.
