I'd rather use proper tools like a pliers rather than a bit of plastic.

You posted in the wrong spot, old chum. Try Dental Issues or the old string around your tooth/door knob dealio.

If your Dentist covers you on the Medical card then yes he will remove your wisdom teeth for you on it. Not all Dentists cover Medical card patients though. I had a lot of trouble with my wisdom teeth last year when they were erupting and he was going to remove them but I stopped him. I took the antibiotics which cured up the infection.

Your wisdom teeth contains stem cells which can actually be used to regrow new teeth should your adult teeth get removed/fall out. Although not yet a dental procedure in the coming years it will be possible to regrow new teeth if you have your wisdom teeth to harvest the stem cells from. If you absolutely must have them removed you should have the stem cells harvested and stored for future use.
