Wisdom teeth are bad?

March 27th, 2003, 22:01

During the last 3 years my wisdom teeth started growing at different times.

They never all came out at the same time. Never really thought about it.

My Dentist never said anything about it. And now my 4th Wisdom tooth is coming in and I just got informed its really bad to keep them?

Should I get rid of em? Don't think I can afford a dental trip...

Well my dentist had gotten rid of 2 of them, and the bottom one was a pain in the a**. Some dentists recommend to get rid of the 4 in one time, it's kind of traumatic, but you won't suffer that again. Other say just to pull'em one by one out if they cause trouble.
Personally I wouldn't come back to pull another one out since the last one, I ended in bed with my cheek as fat as a balloon and a f***ing bleeding that couldn't be stopped.
I recommend you only to get rid of them if they are really causing you unstandable pain.

You have to get them pulled if you do not have space in your mouth for wisdom teeth. I didn't so I had to have all four pulled...it wasn't traumatic, but i won't forget it. it was inconvenient. The problem is, if you don't have space, as the wisdom teeth are emerging, the will push on the rest of your teeth, messing up your alignment.

i tell ya, the body is retarded. doesn't even know how to make things grow right. the only reason i think teeth grow like that is because, if we were just out in nature without soap or toothpaste, during our life we're probably supposed to lose other teeth and the wisdom teeth would fit right in. all this "clean" is unnatural.

I have a big mouth (literally and figuratively), so... I still have all my wisdom teeth, no problems, no pain, no deformation.

Take them out only if they are bothering you, or if they start pushing all your other teeth forward.

Unless your dentist tells you you should, you should not bother getting your wisdom teeth pulled.

well, I needed all mine pulled, but I felt no pain and used no pain killers after the day of the operation...and maybe didn't need them then. I think it is because he put me on some kind of steroid to prepare my body for the shock of surgery...I guess...I did wake up in the middle of the operation...weird hearing him hammer in my mouth while being semi-conscious and not feeling it.

my orthodontist told me i should get them removed. i believe he said that a year ago, so far theres been no pain, and as far as i can tell, they haven't been coming out... they're probably just waiting for a good (horribly timed) opportunity.

Well my teeth are not impacted, Strangely enough all 4 of my wisdom teeth have come out straight, so techniqally I really don't need them removed, Only reason this one hurts is because its ripping through the gums still

But all 4 of mine are coming up perfectly straight, From what I have read, Its incredibly rare nowadays to have a mouth large enough to support Your third mular.

Seems strange to me cuz I thought it was unusual if they didn't.
