Hi all, I am in the process of finding a new dentist after the delusion
of last one.

So, I had a consult with two of them yet. My actual problem is related
to the left wisdom tooth which is pushing without space and giving me
hell of pain fron time to time.
So, everyone agrees it need to be extracted, but this dentist claims
that within a not too long time lime we have to extract the other one as
well (which is semi-included in the gum, though never gave me any
problem yet) because "now they are both pushing, if we extract only the
left one, all other teeth will be pushed to the live by the other one".

Is this plausibile? Other dentists were giving that less than for granted.

In my experience this is not plausible. For that matter, it's somewhat
controversial whether wisdom teeth "push" the other teeth at all--though
it sometimes seems to me that they do. It is far more likely that if
there is insufficient room, the wisdom teeth will remain partially
impacted (in the gum).
IMO each side should be evaluated on its own merits. If they are
impacted, it is likely that you are suffering with pericoronitis (the
pain you feel from time to time). If this has happened a few times and
the tooth is unlikely to erupt normally (you can usually tell on x-ray)
this is enough reason to have the tooth (teeth) extracted.
