I don't like getting teeth pulled out. Cause of all the bleeding and the swelling. Has anyone had their wisdom teeth pulled out yet? Do they knock you out? Numb you?

When I was young --- Yes. I cried like hecka.

I don't really remember the pain, but I know I cried for 2 days straight.

what do you mean "when i was young"? how young? you had your wisdom teeth when you're young? you don't look anymore than 15... is it possible to have wisdom teeth out at a younger ager than 15? huh.gif

That's weird because the other day I told my mom that my wisdom teeth are coming out and they said they don't come out until around 17 or something like that. mellow.gif

exactly. having your wisdom teeth bother you at the age 16-17 is considered early. i didn't know it was possible for kids to have wisdom teeth growing past the gums earlier than 15. I guess in some cases, that's possible? mellow.gif

learn something new everyday.

Ok, look people! lol. I'm FIFTEEN and my appointment for taking out my wisdom teeth is AUGUST 2, which is TOMORROW. So obviously my wisdom teeth must have been growing even BEFORE I turned 15. So yes, it's possible to take out your wisdom teeth before you're 16 or whatever.

Just because someone says they're taking out their wisdom teeth or already did, doesn't mean the wisdom teeth have actually erupted past the gums. It could just mean they're getting it surgically removed...as in they're going to dig in there (Ugh, makes me look forward to tomorrow stubborn.gif ) and take out the wisdom teeth before they grow anymore.

And it's best to take them out before you get "old" 'cause there will be less complications and it'll heal better.

Just thought this might answer some questions.

Oh and yeah, you know your wisdom teeth are growing when your dentist takes X-Rays. Fun fun.

Please read the thread. No one is saying that it's impossible for someone to have surgery before 15. Don't be ridiculous. Do you know what words I was using? "Growing past the gums", "" and "erupt" doesn't tantamount to saying it's impossible to have wisdom teeth before the age of 15. Again, a ridiculous assumption from you not reading correctly.

You're not answering any question I didn't know before. Thanks... for pointing out the obvious.

YES, I read the thread. Jeeze, no need to be so snappy about it. I wasn't trying to "point out the obvious".

Those posts ^ made me think you guys didn't think wisdom teeth were surgically taken out at age fifteen or younger. The words "coming out" and "wisdom teeth out" sounded like you meant TAKING them out, not having them ERUPT past the gums.

I'm sorry if I made "ridiculous assumptions". Don't hate me. Sheesh.

Oh and thanks for the sympathy. I have two big holes in my gums, a huge chipmonk cheek, and pain. Yup, I'm definitely having fun over here.

...

then what do you think this post was for? Sounds like "erupt" was used endlessly to me.

I get different numbers from different sites. lol. very confusing.

and if they erupt it is usually between 17-21 years old

QUOTE
Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars are the last teeth to erupt. This occurs usually between the ages of 17 and 25.

QUOTE
Wisdom teeth are third molars that usually appear between the ages of 18 and 20 (although they may appear when older, or fail to appear at all).

They are called "wisdom teeth" because they usually appear during a person's late teens or early twenties,

They are called wisdom teeth because usually they come in when a person is between 17 and 21 years or older, during what has been called the "age of wisdom."

as you can see... 15 doesn't begin the 'wisdom age', that's why i was suprised.
