wisdom teeth question????????!


Question: Wisdom teeth question????????
ok so im 19 years old and for almost a year now my wisdom teeth have started coming out, i went to the dentist for a regular check up last summer and they told me that they will need to come out, and they told me to make an appointment in January, this month, but the problem is that not all of my wisdom teeth have came out yet.
im really scared of the dentist and i havent had anything worked on or pulled out since i was like 10, and im always scared of going to the dentist, i get all nervous and stuff. so im pretty not looking forward in getting them out!

so my question was what will happen if i just leave them as they are? will it disrupt my teeth and make them crooked???? (not straight)
and how old are you supposed to be when all of you wisdom teeth are fully out?
is my age normal or Should have i have them already gotten them???
what is the age that people start growing them????

Your wisdom teeth are probably side ways. As they come in they will push your other teeth forward before coming up like your other teeth did. Your whole mouth will be in pain as they start pushing. Most people don't take care of their back teeth well so they will rot out and will have to come out anyway. Then come going to an orthodontist to put all your teeth back in place. At least 6-10 year since you are consider an adult by now. It is easier to move younger peoples teeth since they are still growing.
Before they take your wisdom teeth out, they will knock you out. They will give you rules to follow like: Don't drink with a straw and eat soft food. You can rinse your mouth out with warm water. The 1st 12 hours you will put on an ice pack. The next 12 hour, use moist heat packs. Ice will take the swelling down, the heat will promote circulation. Pain meds will be prescribe. There may be a hole or hollow place left behind. It will fill in. If the area is still bloody after 3 days, take a moist tea bag and place on the affected area. It will help with healing.
You may have to go in a couple years to have the others removed. Knowing this, get some dental insurance in the mean time.
I hate dentist too, especially needles. That is why I keep my teeth cleaned and flossed. I only go once a year to have my teeth cleaned. It is a waste of my time to go more. git it done

been there done it
