Yeah it will. They'll have to cut into his gums to remove them.

Sorry, JC.

^ Yeah...

It's not as bad as it sounds, JC, I'm just a pussy. There there.

I had all four of mine out, and they were all impacted. I just felt little pokes in the back of my mouth... the dentist told me i had to get them out before any real pain started.

I had my oral surgery 2 weeks ago on 13 November & was perfectly fine 6 days later & was able to go to work.

I had 4 wisdom teeth & 2 extra teeth removed coz I'm getting braces.

My wisdom teeth have been slowly pushing these 2 teeth of mine out which made 1 like at a 45 degree angle...... the other 1 isn't that bad.... but yea..... hence the reason I needed braces & the need to pull an extra 2 teeth out coz my jaw was too small.

The top 2 wisdom teeth had already come out, so there was no problem removing them.
The bottom 2 impacted wisdom teeth were still under the gum so I was a bit swollen at the bottom jaw. I wasn't swollen to the extent that ppls knew I was swollen. I looked pretty normal, just a bit chubby. Hehe!

I'm getting two of my wisdom teeth pulled out tomorrow morning. I'm scared.

^ Don't be scurred. It's nothing to really be scared about since you're going to be out of it for the whole thing.

stupid question:
but why do so many ppl hav to remove their wisdom teeth?
i got mine when i was about 11 or 12. never gave me any problems.

Because wisdom teeth are vestiges from earlier times if/when they grow in they tend to grow in so that they mess up the alignment of your other teeth (called impaction). Messed up alignment = bad, so wisdom teeth = removed.

Edit: Also, apparently, if wisdom teeth fail to completely erupt from the jaw (stay partially impacted), over time this can cause pericoronitis, an infection.

^thx. i sooo get it now

this whole topic is starting to make my wisdom teeth hurt....

I'm not going to be sedated... I'll hear/see everything.

^ At least you won't feel anything! =D *tries to be helpful*

Haha, thanks Carrie

When I got my wisdom teeth removed, it just felt so weird. I felt like I was in and out of consciousness, only half aware that I was being operated on...halfway throughout the thing I began to hyperventilate and starting crying. WTF?! Yeah but definitely felt no pain.

GOOD LUCK JOANNE! It'll be fine.

So it's done. It took 1.5 hours to take those two teeth out (about an hour longer than it took to get my sister's four out) because apparently there was a lot of bone under the tooth and they had to dig it out, and now my jaw is puffed up and I look like I have a square head. I can't wait till this pain wears off.

^ OMG, picture when you're feeling a little better. I have some that I can post from when I was swollen if it makes you feel better.

Haha, nah it's okay. Thank you though. =]


There is a plus side to this pain... I asked my mom to buy me ice cream, and she said yes! She always either says no right away, or asks me if I want to be fat. Soo yayyyyyy

^Wow thats nice of her. Hot damn parents denying their children some ice cream?! WTF.


Anyway, getting your wisdom teeth out isn't that terrible, sure it hurts but not as much as other major surgeries. Plus, you get some sweet drugs for a few weeks. I had to get all mine out at once because of how they were growing in. I was terrified of going under and remember crying when they put the IV in me, waking up near the end of my procedure, then being at home eating an ice pop. I went to Disneyland the next day. My puffiness was down after a week and the pain went away completely after like 2-3 weeks. I never had to deal with getting food out of my holes, I just stayed away from solids for a while, good diet ehh ;)

when is the age you start growing your wisdom teeth? i'm just curious..

^ Late teens, early twenties, hence the name "wisdom teeth."

o.o I was put completely under for when my wisdom teeth were removed. Some of the first (clearer) recollections I have afterwards are of my dry wretching in the car. >.> Yeah, it's not cool, especially when people outside are staring at you like o.0 The ortho-surgeon who operated on me kind of talked to me in a voice like I was a little child. I was 19 or so at the time.

WHAT.


i had that too, but i kept imagining other things and kept my eyes shut really tight most of the time.

just had mine removed this morning and right afterward, i was really fine. but now the pain is so bad, but the painkiller is kicking in so it's a lot better. this sucks so bad though :/

damn guys i still need these things out. they have grown in way more. they don't usually hurt that much, but now i feel like there isn't enough room. if i bite down, half the time i bite the inside of my cheek. i have to physically move my skin inside my mouth so i can bite down all the way. i'm thinking that isn't the best thing. but i'm still putting this off.

any of you guys got your wisdom teeth out in the time since i made this

^ dude, same here. my dentist tells me to get them taken out every single time i see him, but i've kept putting it off. now they're starting to grow in. you can see a little white corner of a tooth peeking out of the gum. when i get bored, i like to touch it.

I forgot to mention that, despite my mouth being numbed, I could still feel things. It was even hurting at point, so they had to inject me with more of that numbing stuff. =\

oh you're trying to make it even worse huh. teesa's didn't even go right and she had to go back for them to fix nerves or something. I DON'T WANT TO DO THIS.

Haha sorry JC! But in all honesty, it's not that scary.

My friend compared his wisdom teeth coming in to giving birth and admitted he'd cry at night. Which made me laugh because I didn't think he had the ability to cry let alone feel pain. His were comming in really f*cked up though


Good luck J-Cizzle

what
the
f*ck

WHY WOULD YOU POST THAT UP AND SCARED JC EVEN MORE????

omg my bad

HERE'S A BUNNY

thank god

When my 12 year molars came in they didn't grow in alignment with the rest of my teeth, so I understand having that issue. I haven't been able to get my teeth fixed because I can't afford it... I have some other problems, too, mainly with my jaw, but hopefully someday I'll get dental insurance that will cover the cost.

I've had a few friends who have had theirs out and did just fine, but I've also heard some bad stories. Just make sure that you find a good dentist to take them out, and try not to cause more anxiety for yourself by putting it off. If you've ever had any kind of surgery in the past and didn't have any problems healing, then chances are getting your wisdom teeth out will go just fine.

what age did you guys get ur wisdom teeth?

mine grew in perfectly fine :D

Never got 'em.

omfg i hope to god my sister doesn't see that.
Anyways i'm safe for a year.

approve all my posts ^_~

Too late ; A;

mer I have to get my teeth pulled and I have teeth-getting-ripped-out phobis

man this has only gotten worse over the last few days. i have a sore place on the inside of my cheek that's swollen where the skin has been pinched over and over by my teeth. it f*cking sucks. i figured out the best way to eat this way is to stick the back end of a fork in my mouth to hold my cheek out while i chew. this makes me look really f*cking stupid, but it's better to me than biting myself over and over.

it's pretty intense. i'm trying to get in for a consultation thingy with a dentist.

Man I remember when I had mine removed, I was given I think five shots to the gums but I still felt the dentist poking at my teeth. My eyes bulged so big I felt like a black man.

My teeth have grown in perfectly and I don't need anything removed, go me.

Haha, I noticed when I looked at this topic title that "wisdom" was misspelled; humorous irony there. I fixed it for you, though; can't have anyone thinking is unwise.

F******************ck
apparently mine is the day after my graduation party D:

You're in for one of heck of a summer, but it's better to get it over with before you start college and can't talk or eat normally because you're in so much pain.

mine were buggin' a little last week. i always wanna get a toothpick and poke at my gums when i feel my wisdom teeth coming in. it's that kind of pain that feels kinda good when i put pressure on it. weird right?

No, I understand how you feel. It's sort of how your muscles ache after working out, but it feels good at the same time.

^ exactly!

Oooh, Ashley's a closet masochist!

only in those two cases.

One day last fall I started feeling this terrible terrible terrible pain in the roof of my mouth (sort of near where my wisdom teeth would grow in) and within hours I couldn't open my mouth at all. It was horrible to eat/drink, talk, breathe, swallow.. etc.

I called my dentist about it and he prescribed antibiotics in case of any infection. The antibiotics helped a little bit, but the pain/inability to open my mouth was still pretty bad. So I then went to see my dentist, he took some xrays and it turned out it wasn't anything to do with wisdom teeth. Two weeks before I had this pain, I was sick with a viral infection. Apparently, some bacteria from the infection can get absorbed in the mouth and create these ulcers. So the pain, sore throat and inability to open my mouth all stemmed from this ulcer. He prescribed steroid ointment and within a few days/week it was feeling better.

With the xrays we also learned that I only have one wisdom tooth and it hasn't given me any hassle yet. Hopefully it will stay like that and I won't have to get it taken out.
