In some cases, one remedy hasn't changed: yank the damn things out. More can always be said on the matter of historical dental care, so if anyone would like to address the subject with a post of their own, please don't let the linkdrop stop you!

For the meantime, OP, here are some previous posts on dealing with wisdom teeth:

• u/esport5000 observes how the Romans did it;
• u/jimthewanderer looks at various possible methods to deal with annoying teeth;
• and u/Vespertine has some caveats to observe regarding teeth.

Thanks to your username and also because argh tag limit, some more stuff in next post.
