“Well, I’m starting to get cataracts, but I DON”T think I’ll be putting chemicals from China in my eyes anytime soon”

Good plan. It scares me to think of the Chinese “additives” that are already in the stuff we eat.

On the other hand I am really suspicious of some “recommended treatments” from the medical industry. I think some are purely because they make ALLOT of profit.

It really irritates me when my Dentist tries to upsell me on some thing like surgical removal of my wisdom teeth, “with total sedation”. I’m in my 40s and my wisdom teeth NEVER caused me any problems. I don’t see any need to cut them out now.

“I’m in my 40s and my wisdom teeth NEVER caused me any problems. I don’t see any need to cut them out now.”

If or when you get cavities in them getting them filled is far worse than getting them pulled. And waiting till say 47 years old makes the recovery really unpleasant.

I speak from experience. I kept all mine just fine until my 40’s too when lo and behold, in one year’s time got cavities in all four and broke a tooth, in one year of stress.
I’d advise you not to wait if your dentist recommends and more importantly, if insurance will cover it.
