Wisdom teeth: Your niece is a minor and thus her parents must make all of her health care decisions. It's possible that she has strep/mono/wisdom teeth problems all at the same time. You're talking to the wrong people. Her parents are in charge. If you feel she is being mistreated file complaint with appropriate social service agency.
