I'm pissed that my wisdom teeth were removed when I was a kid.
Very fiat practice, with definite negative effects.
Don't do this to your children, parents! Feed them meat and their jaws will develop beautifully, no mouth-butchering required.

Why remove them? Just let them there causing pain and discomfort 🤣
I've been having the displeasure of being hit with tons of bullshit lately, but this post seriously makes me lose faith in humanity
man says words. frog goes limp.
thee told me next time we gone take them out... never wend back....
I also wore braces as a kid, instead of being told to change my diet. It really pisses me off, because we followed that stupid food pyramid.
I still have mine. I think the results speak for themselves.
You can’t just undo evolution with a diet change. Our jaws have gotten smaller over time, causing space issues for teeth. Sure, chewing tougher foods can help jaw development, but it won’t prevent the need for braces. Lots of teens, no matter their diet, wear braces for years to get their teeth straight. Just get it checked by an orthodontist, and if there’s no room in the jaw, they might recommend removing your wisdom teeth. What nonsense to think otherwise
it's because approximately zero teens today are eating an ancestrally-appropriate carnivore diet 🥩
find me a carnivore teen that needs wisdom teeth pulled and braces; i doubt you could find it
Finding a teen stupid enough to believe humans are carnivore is quite hard already, thank God
Not just carnivore, but raw carnivore. People say that pathogens are a problem, which they can be. The solution should be to raise healthy animals, not add acrylamides to our food.
For some reason people readily accept sashimi, but freak out with carpaccio or steak tartare.
What a nutty take. Mammals, as they develop larger brains, also tend to develop smaller jaws. This is the reason for the facial angle, a metric that shows that the more advanced races have larger frontal lobes and smaller, less snoutlike jaws than lower races -- and so a line drawn from the maximum protrusion of the jaw to the center of the forehead is nearly vertical among many Europeans, but is more inclined toward the horizontal in lower races. This is the origin of the quip that some races are more equipped to survive by biting than by thinking. Of course, among non-human mammals, the facial angle is even lower, with the jaw protruding far forward of the brain.
Did our recent ancestors (before dentist offices) live their entire lives with intense tooth/jaw pain then? Or were they just eating tougher, chewier food as we were designed to, so everything grew in properly
I can't imagine humans being designed in such a way that we need to rip parts of our body out
People without dental care as Americans know it often have some pain and, more often, somewhat aesthetically displeasing, though still quite functional, teeth. Modern Britons often fall into this category; some blame socialism. Jawbone size is what mainly determines impaction rates, and it is not affected by exercise (only muscles and connective tissues are so affected). Jawbone size is genetically determined, and it has been falling as our survival became more dependent on our brains than our choppers. Evolution often, perhaps always, involves tradeoffs and half-finished processes. Tyrannosaurus Rex was huge and formidable, but his brain was the size of a grapefruit and his front legs might as well not have existed.
Teeth removal has been a thing since before ancient Egypt. Dude seriously, google is free, fucking use it, it doesn't hurt I promise 😉
And they'll likely also just plain have nice, straight teeth.
