I had that. The 8th (wisdom) tooth grows in that position. At first there’s no problem but it starts to create pressure on all other teeth and eventually starts to hurt as it’s pushing against the 7th tooth. The solution is to take out wisdom teeth, which is a quite common procedure any way. Don’t know what the “infinite money” is about. Maybe this is some USA thing.
It took a while for me but after some thinking I believe it is a joke for Americans, for whom dental care is infamously expensive. Probably this type of wisdom tooth causes problems so frequently that a dentist could pretty much live off a single patient with this condition, that’d be the joke. Full disclaimer I’m not American, not a dentist and my wisdom teeth also not like that
I suppose the idea is that most people have this set of teeth and for many it becomes problematic at some point. Removing “wisdom teeth” isn’t the cheapest stomatological procedure.
can someone explain this? I don’t get it

Costs like a thousand dollars or more to get them taken out here
Or free if you do it in the military like I did
By the time this is a problem, going through boot camp first isn’t exactly viable for 99 percent of people.
It only cost me $15.8 to take the both of them out where I live. (I only had two for some reason)
Seriously?? Where the hell is that?
Probably because more people keep getting born with wisdom teeth to take out

Nah, just a joke about there always being more to remove as it becomes problematic for a new person
