I just got my four wisdom teeth pulled out on friday morning, im fourteen. Today (saturday) my cheeks are like all puffy and i look like a chipmunk LOL anyways what i was wondering is... Have you ever had yours pulled out? How old were you? How did you get through the pain and swelling?

Woah, you got yours pulled out at the age of fourteen.
 I'm almost 16 and still haven't. I think it may be a little while before I do actually go and get them pulled out. I know plenty of people that have had them taken out and they said there was no real pain after it was all done and over with. I think it may have been the medicine they gave them though. |

^ I think alot of it depends on how deep/large the roots are, their size, and how close to the surface they are. I have a really small mouth and larger teeth... and mine were really deep.
 I had mine pulled out the summer before last, a week before my sixteenth birthday. The first day wasnt too bad, but it all went downhill from there. I couldnt even eat cake on my birthday it hurt so bad. Well, I didnt really "get" through it... I just slept 95% of the time for the first 3-4 days. Did they give you a surenge? Because food easily gets trapped in the holes from where they remove the teeth. If the food stays in there, they'll get infected. They didnt give me one until I went in two weeks later, after complaining that my mouth still hurt . I dont see why they dont give people one to begin with. But then four months later, my mouth started hurting, and it turns out I had an infection. So they had to put me under anesthesia again and I guess operate, because my holes were already closed up.  So make sure you keep them cleaned out! lol.

I'm 18 also and I haven't had mine pulled out.
My dentist actually says I need my bottom ones pulled out but he told me that about 3 years ago and I still haven't done it. I just really don't want to go through the whole aftermath of it. |

I'm 16 and I haven't gotten mine pulled yet. I'm hoping it stays that way, really. Most people I talk to complain it's so uncomfortable. |

I'm 17 and still have my wisdom teeth. My best friend was 16 when she get hers removed so I'm still a little confused on when they are SUPPOSED to come out. I guess it's different for everyone.

If you regularly go to the dentist, he/she will let you know when its time. They can tell by looking at your xrays. |

I'm 16, and my dentist says I need to get them out sometime this summer... not looking forward to that.
especially since I know my parents wont let me take the pain meds. And the only good part about getting them out is the Vicodin. |
