Should I get my wisdom teeth pulled?!


Question: Should I get my wisdom teeth pulled?
Ok, heres what I have going on right now. im 17 btw
A few months ago I went to my dentist for a cleaning and they said they'd strongly suggest I get my wisdom teeth pulled because:
Top ones didnt stop growing (much lower than the rest and are slightly slanted, but you can see that they stick out)
and one of my bottom ones has not ruptured yet and the other one has been showing only halfway for a few years now.
Lately my teeth have been feeling sore (i used to have braces, and it feels like i got the tightened, but not that sore) and since the tooth is slanted i keep biting my cheek and its kida bleeding/scarred now.

so should i get them removed?

Get them out! This is the quickest and easiest way. It also is a lot less painful than what you endure now. They give you a quick shot in the mouth and then you cant feel a thing. Just go for it. Its a lot better than what you are going through

I am a dentist



Personally I would. It reduce your pain and reduce the chances of you biting your cheek. It's better to have a few painful recovery days after having them removed then have to go a few years or more with constant pain.

Had all 4 of my wisdom teeth pulled.



If they are causing problems, like pain, biting cheeks, crooked, and making your teeth shift alot, i would suggest getting them taken out so they wont cause anymore problems in the future.
