summary:
 
In this conversation, Dr. Serv Wahan and Dr. Jaclyn Tomsic discuss various myths and misconceptions surrounding dental practices, particularly focusing on wisdom teeth, bone grafts, dry sockets, and the impact of medications on dental procedures. They explore the reasons behind wisdom teeth removal, the realities of bone grafting, and the effects of smoking and anticoagulants on dental health.
