There are lots of perverse incentives in dentistry.

I've had some dentists do the "mouth mining" kind of thing.

I have my four wisdom teeth, and one dentists was immediately "We should schedule you to have those wisdom teeth out." He's not the only one that asked, but "why should they come out?" always has these vague answers, like "might cause crowding".

So, I've had my wisdom teeth all my adult and they are sort of a litmus test for dentists.

I've heard navy seals require them out, I thought for some deep water diving reason.
