Wisdom teeth start appearing, hello worries.?!
Question: Wisdom teeth start appearing, hello worries.?
To my freakin lovely surprise, it's another tooth. I feel like I'm 5 again, developing teeth when I'm 20 years old. Kidding, I know...they are wisdom teeth.......
My real question is....am I going to have to get this stupid thing removed? I'm petrified to find out, I know a lot of horror stories about wisdom teeth and I really just would like to keep them if they are this unnoticeable. I don't care what my dentist may say, he probably just wants to make money....unless they are causing significant issues. I never noticed it before - and I personally think this process has been going on for about a year now.
It never bothered me until I found out I had it. I've probably had this bad boy for months, not even noticing or caring. Now I know it is there I constantly think about it, like its my soul mate or something....bah! Why me. It does not hurt ONE bit, and I mean one...at all.
I know it doesn't really matter but I've never had braces, retainers, none of it. My teeth are naturally straight. I'm not being conceited. My jawbone isn't puny, I have a pretty defined jawbone and it is, in my opinion, large enough for this sucker to move in. I'm so worried though. I don't want to have this mouth surgery. Ahhhhhhh.........help!

U don't have to get them removed but they hurt like a ***** if you don't :) that's y I'm getting mine removed before the grow out
You dont HAVE to get them out. But it is recommended. They are hard to reach when you brush. The other day at my moms work a lady came in complaining about aching teeth. Turns out her wisdom teeth were molded.

Wisdom tooth removal is not as bad as everyone makes it out to be. If your wisdom teeth are impacted then you will have to get them removed. How they are impacted is also a factor. You can have soft tissue impaction (under the gum) or hard tissue impaction (hitting another tooth or embedded into the bone) If they are not removed when they are impacted, they can cause crowding of the teeth and/or become infected. To determine what your treatment options are, it is best to go to your general dentist and have a panoramic x-ray taken to see how your wisdom teeth are erupting.
