okay's I'm 16 and i have all 4 of my wisdom teeth's in. I'm planning to get them remove even though its not bothering me. I believe I'm removing my 2 of right side first then probably the left side next week. i have an appointment for my wisdom teeth's this Monday, and my braces this Wednesday then my senior picture this Friday. I'm just wondering how does it take long to recover and if one day will do it cause i don't want to cancel my other appointment and also i don't want to look all swell up for my senior picture this up coming Friday . Should i hold off removing my wisdom teeth till later or now ?

^ No, definitely not. Wisdom teeth removal has its own risks, and they would never try to trick you into removing them just to make some extra cash (at least, I like to think so). I only removed them after actually seeing the X-ray of my teeth and seeing my wisdom teeth growing in sideways. If I had let them grow out, my post-braces teeth would have shifted for SURE. It probably wouldn't be so much a health problem than a cosmetic one.

QUOTE(Gigi @ Jun 29 2008, 05:50 AM)  ^ No, definitely not. Wisdom teeth removal has its own risks That's exactly why it is a bad idea to get them removed, unless you have to. At least one study showed that ~60% of wisdom teeth removals in the US were unnecessary, and riskier than leaving the wisdom teeth in. Another study also found that removing the wisdom teeth does nothing to prevent other teeth from becoming crowded. |
