Saw this today:

So tragic, she was their only child and was undergoing what they thought was a routine procedure.
I don't want to offend any dentists in our group, there can be solid reasons for this procedure. Far too often it's 'yank em out' and this is sold to parents as a necessary thing. I still have mine and I'm in my early sixties with no apparent ill effect. Mine never came in; for years every time I went to a new dentist I got the hard sell on having this done and refused.
