Is 16 years old too young to have wisdom teeth pulled?!


Question: Is 16 years old too young to have wisdom teeth pulled!?
Answers:
Having the 3rd molars extracted during the early teenage years or when the buds are first developed is always better than waiting until they are fused in the bone, making them much more difficult to remove and can make the procedure and recovery period longer for the patient!. Do your self a favor, if they present a problem and most do, have them removed early!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i am 16 also and have to get mine pulled in a few weeks!.!.!.so i guess not!. it's gonna hurt really bad tho!

Actually that is a perfect age!. They longer you wait the more risk are involved!. I have even seen 13 year olds have there's out!. If the oral surgeon has reviewed the xray then they know if there teeth are developed enough to extract!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

No, I had all of mine out at one time when I was 16, the best thing I ever did!. I see a lot of people with problems and I am all done, never have to worry about it!. Are they impacted!? Is the dentist recommending you get them out!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Not at all!. They probably won't pull them unless they are bothering you really bad though!. That's the way it is down here anyways!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

it can be pulled at any age
if they are in the way and they cause irritation pull them outWww@Answer-Health@Com
