wisdom teeth..................?!


Question: Wisdom teeth..................?
My bottom wisdom is growing at an angle. what does this mean?

Answers:

Well it doesnt mean a lot if you "think" they are erupting at an angle BUT sometimes they actually do and these are called impactions. The treatment option for impactions is tooth extraction.
Wait for sometime, usually third molar erurptions have a few symptoms of pain and discomfort but is relieved as the tooth emerges. If your symptoms go on getting worse and you dont see the tooth coming out at all go see a doctor.
Try warm salin rinses and keep the third molar region clean of food debris.



They should probably be removed. They can cause damage and if they are pushing against the teeth infront of them it can cause them to move. I would go to your dentist and have them checked out. If you are afraid of having them removed you could always go to an oral surgeon and they can put you to sleep for it. Thats how all four of my wisdom teeth were but they were laying sideways under my gums and needed to be removed. good luck!



Should be fine. If it causes discomfort just have a concultation with a dentist (if on the NHS).



You need to see a dentist! Fast!
