I'm sorry, I lol'ed at your story.

My dentist was pushing me to go see an oral surgeon because my wisdom teeth might possibly cause a problem in the future. I looked at him and was like, "But are they currently causing a problem?" He admitted they were not, but tried to tell me not getting them out could cause cancer. I was like...a quick Google search confirms that is not the case. He tried again the last time and I was like, "I'm 26 and I've had three surgeries (now four!). Unless you can explain why this is necessary, I'm not having another surgery." He could not.

I've been thinking of finding another dentist.
Eh, don't dump your dentist. Wisdom teeth may not be an issue (ever), or they may cause you issues in the future. That's what many dentists (based on whatever data they use) will tell you. (If he's been a good dentist overall, I wouldn't let him go, just yet.) There's (various) reasons for removing those teeth. I had mine out in my early 20s, and it was easy, as they were only impacted in tissue, not bone. Had a funny reaction to waking up from the anesthesia -- I was so looney, and telling everyone in the dental office that I loved them and crying my eyes out! :joyfull: :hilarious:

Your dentist told you not getting out wisdom teeth might cause cancer?!? That is kind of crazy, so I looked it up and I found the same results as you. I did see that rare tumors can develop near wisdom teeth, but the site said it is rare and wisdom teeth are not the cause. It seems a little insensitive of your dentist to mention cancer as a reason to get your wisdom teeth out since you have had cancer and that is probably on your medical record there with them. It seemed like he was just trying to scare you into getting them removed for no reason. Personally, I wouldn't like the pressure he put on or the scare tactic and maybe start looking into a new dentist as well.

Yeah, but mine are under the gum. So they would have to go digging for them. I've had four surgeries now; I'm not up for another one.

I was under anesthesia when I was 21 for Wisdom teeth, but I didn't recall waking up before leaving.

I do know my Wisdom teeth needed to be gone at the time according to my dentist and I recalled being limited what I could eat.

2012 was a strange year for weather where I live. 2012 was the hottest March ever for where I live. There also was back to back 100 degree days and that was only the 2nd ever.

Before 2012, where I live last had a 100 degree day was in 1995.

In 2011 we had 27 consecutive 100 or above degree days, and 90 total 100 or above degree days.
It was also the same year we tied our all-time record high of 112, from 2000.
