Are you two sure they needed pulling out?
Back when I was 18 or so my dentist told me that my wisdom teeth needed pulling ASAP. Now seeing the hell that my one friend was going through at the time (he looked like a freakin' chipmunk) after having this procedure performed on him, I came up with an excuse as to why I couldn't get mine pulled out. For the next year or so I kept making similar lame-ass excuses, and each time the dentists were like, "Oh you better get them pulled out." It was like if I didn't my head was going to explode or something.
Anyway, about four years later I went to another practice for a basic cleaning. Toward the end of my check-up I asked the lady working on my pearly whites if my wisdom teeth needed pulling. She looked and said "They look fine to me."
You guys may have been lied to...
