Some maybe, but not all, William. I had one dentist who refused to pull
my wisdom teeth, when the agency I worked for insisted everyone had to
have them pulled. He wrote a long letter and sent the x-rays explaining
exactly why they were sound teeth and didn't need to be pulled. I still
have wisdom teeth today. I have had several other dentists look things
over and not do anything.
