Wisdom teeth?

I was wondering thinking about wisdom teeth. I know they dont grow in until you are around 18 years old. And most people get them pulled because there isnt enough room in their mouth. What makes them have the urge to get them pulled? Do the teeth get infected? Do they just hurt because they are too big? And when did you get yours pulled? I am very curious lol.

Wisdom teeth?
Most people get them pulled because they have too, not because they want to. My mom got them pulled at 35 or 36 or something and she thought it hurt really bad!!
Reply:Usually 18 years old, and they get pulled because they can cause your teeth to protude and your jaws to hurt.
Reply:they are difficult to keep clean and rot, plus they croud other teeth and disturb that pretty smile
Reply:The main reason, I believe, is pain. They hurt like a mofo, from what I hear.
Reply:I got mine taken out at 16 years old. I had 4 wisdom teeth, but only 2 had surfaced. All I remember, they hurt so bad. The best part was waking up from surgery. Its a wonderful experience. Good luck! =)
Reply:you get ehm pulled because if they grow in, and there isn%26#039;t ebough room for them, then they%26#039;ll push alll of your other teeth around to make room. So for most people, after paying hundreds of dollars to get their teeth straightened, they dont want they%26#039;re wisdom teeth messing that up. It also hurts whne the grow in.





I got mine pulled when i was 14.
Reply:I am 19 and I have had 2 wisdom teeth come in. My bottom ones. I got one cut out because it was coming in completely sideways...as in that the top was sideways, growing into my other tooth. I ended up getting those 2 teeth cut out because the wisdom tooth basically broke the tooth in front of it. It hurt so bad I was glad to have surgery to get them taken out!


I still have one bottom wisdom tooth. It is kinda weird looking and seems very large for a tooth. I%26#039;m not worried about getting it out anytime soon. It%26#039;s fine and doesn%26#039;t bother me much.


My top ones probably dont have any room to come in. Some people don%26#039;t get their top ones and some peple dont even get their wisdom teeth at all





Hope I helped!
Reply:I had mine removed around age 16. They don%26#039;t always need to come out but sometimes, because of crowding, the need to be removed. The cool thing is that you can have it done at an oral surgeon%26#039;s office in about 30 minutes to 1 hour. You sleep through and don%26#039;t notice a thing. You%26#039;ll go home with some good pain meds that will help you sleep and recover. 2-3 days and you%26#039;ll be good as new.
Reply:if you dont get them pulled they decay faster and can eventually give you some major pain!!! and bad breath on the way... Im 25 and have only had 1 pulled and regret putting it off... get them pulled when you can theyre a pain! but hey some people make it through life with them and have no problems, or so Ive heard
Reply:try this at home you know those big fat pencils you used in grade school put it behind the last molar top and bottom and try to bite down....hurts like hell dont it thats why they have them removed (no room)
Reply:my brother got his wisdom teeth removed at 17.


which was like 3 weeks ago ^.^


and they hurt because whn you pull it out. you have a whole in you mouth.


he cried and the hospital people came. lol.


the teeth don%26#039;t get infected.


they get pulled out because it can change the way you talk.


if you don%26#039;t take em out.


you%26#039;ll sound funny or somehting like that.


but some people even get it when they%26#039;re 13.
Reply:Like you said, when they start to come in most of the time there%26#039;s not enough room for them. They start to push against the teeth in front of them and cause pain and swelling. If left be they will damage your other teeth or cause an infection.
Reply:They start hurting.......Or at least mine did. And I got mine taken out when I was 18. And all at once. And I was wide awake.........no sleeping during that time...........LOL
Reply:I had my wisdom teeth pulled because when the tooth was JUST coming in, the gum around the tooth was swollen. It rips through the gum, and hurt so bad. I was knocked out when they took my wisdom teeth out. I had them done when I was 21. My mom had hers taken out when she was in her 40%26#039;s.
Reply:I had 3 of mine pulled (1 by its self and 2 more later) they hurt, and they became impacted (whatever that means) I can tell you when I had the first one taken out the dentist just did it in his office with novacain, it hurt SO bad, I got dry socket and a bad infection, I was sick for OVER a week, the second two I had done at the same time at a real oral surgen they knocked me out, their were no problems and I felt better fast, I had it done in the morning I was eating soft foods that night, solid foods within a few days, no infection, very little pain...
Reply:Well I don%26#039;t think people just CHOOSE to have them out, my dentist just told me that there wouldn%26#039;t be enough room for them to grow in. This was after I had braces so I didn%26#039;t want to mess up my teeth that I had just straightened. As far as getting infected, if you have a good oral surgeon you will not have a problem. I know that you are not supposed to smoke right after you get them pulled because you can get something called %26quot;dry sockets%26quot;, which is where the gum heals over a pocket of air where you tooth used to be. I got mine pulled when I was 18 like you said and I was MISERABLE. I had two in the top and two in the bottom of my mouth. It was a painful recovery but you usually get some good meds to make you numb and cheer you up a bit!





(BTW, I smoked right after i had my teeth pulled and had no problems, i just smoked less often)
Reply:Wisdom teeth come up at different ages for everyone, with mine it was when I was 23. Some people are blessed with the option of leaving them in because they have enough room in their mouth to do so. Sometimes they have little room and end up pushing all of your other teeth forward and this can aesthetically change your teeth for the worst.


Sometimes they can%26#039;t break through the surface and become impacted and slowly decay from underneath your gums leading to infection, cysts and possible sickness (in the past before dental procedures many people would actually die as a result of problematic wisdom teeth).


Sometimes they can come through sideways, disrupting the way you eat and possibly creating pain.


So there are many reasons, but some people are blessed are require no treatment. Personally I recommend removing them regardless if there are issues or not as they are very hard to keep clean.
Reply:Wisdom teeth grow in at different times for everyone, as early as 15 or so, however, they have usually grown in by the 20%26#039;s. It%26#039;s good to get them removed, because:





1). The human jaw has gotten smaller over evolution and therefore, we no longer have enough room for 32 teeth...only 28.





2). They can also cause infection in the teeth near them, which can cause major gum infections/diseases over time...which could lead to teeth lose.





3). If not removed, there is a good chance of them messing up your other teeth. They can push the other teeth and make them more vulnerable to moving.





I just had my wisdom teeth removed today actually! :) I am 19, but my bottom wisdom teeth grew in when I was around 16, but my top ones were impacted (meaning they are still under the gums). I was a nervous wreck, but it is a rather simple procedure. It goes quickly if you are knocked out, which I highly recommend. There is some pain at the end of the surgery. The pain really varies for different people. I have a pretty high tolerance for pain, so it is really not bothering me too much. It%26#039;s just soar and weird feeling.





No matter what, wisdom teeth removal is a normal procedure now-a-days. I hope all goes well...and if you do need to get them removed, the best of luck!
