Wisdom Teeth
so yeh i had my wisdom teeth growing when i was 16 and heck they were painful!! i use to get the most excruiating headaches from them..... now some years on i noticed my bottom two wisdom teeth were not coming out so i decided to go to the dentist to check it out....
i had xrays done and the dentist showed me exactly how my wisdom teeth were growing and my eyes just popped out lol.... they were growing sideways and now they are stuck - IMPACTED WISDOM TEETH..... i had braces when i was 15 and had 4 tooths out aswell but still there is no space for these two to come out..... now my dentist told me that in the old days whenever a wisdom tooth was seen it was just pulled out....now they wait to see if there is any risk of infection, gum disease etc and my dentist told me one of my wisdom teeth has a big gap between the tooth next to it and in that gap the food is getting stuck and it will get sticky and could cause tooth decay and instead of having one tooth removed il end up having both removed .... but hes left it up to me to decide........ the only thing is ive been researching into this and i find some people say they got on with their lives as normal and some have had some sort of negative impact after having a wisdom tooth removed... my dentist did say that a nerve could be damaged whilst having it removed and you could loose sensation on the lower part of your jaw and under your lip area and this freaked me out....... so i thought of good old PakPassion.... wanted to know if anyone has had a wisdom tooth removed or know of anyone who has??? plz no scary stories to make it worse coz i cant decide what if i should go ahead or not .... (i have had four teeth removed before so i know what the pain and process of it is, just wanted to know about wisdom teeth removal)

Make sure you brush twice a day, floss and use mouth wash. All these wisdom teeth extraction is hogwash money making formula for the dentists (as long as there is no pain).

ive had my wisdom tooth pains for quite some time. the last time i had was just last year, when the tooth was coming out of my gums, and i had to get the part of the gum removed. the doctor numbed my gum and used the old technique of knife on gum and cut it out to make room for the tooth. though it didnt pain at the time, but it did later on, and it felt weird to feel a tooth where there was supposed to be gum.

I had all removed surgically. Once they removed 3 and left one in for some reason. Then the fourth one started causing problems and I delayed it. Then it became that I couldn't open my mouth and my jaw was swollen up. Called the dentist late at night to get codine filled pain killers and went to dentist next morning. They couldn't even take normal dentist X-Rays as they need to put the film in my mouth. The dentist sent me to another dentist (probably more qualified as he charges more) and he failed to get x-rays too. They suspected it was the wisdom tooth but not sure. Then I was sent to a surgeon who had the equipment to take the x-ray from outside . Went through a surgery. The surgen asked why it was not taken out with others and I think it was because it was still in the bone and not much out. She called the other other dentist a whimp. The operations were no pain. They just cost money if you have no insurance but you get good drugs. Last one cost me about $800 as I had trips to dentists and no dental insurance.

Was only joking in the last post. They don't hurt much, although you do have to get accustomed to eating some soft-foodstuff. If it's the dentist's advice, I'd go by it or else you may regret it in later life.

After we had been there a while, I had a problem with one of my wisdom teeeth and went to see a dentist (a different one). After examining me he told me that my gums also had a problem - they had 'grown too long' due to a medical condition, and they needed to be 'trimmed back'. Since this required my mouth being numbed, he was going to do this in four 'sections', with a quarter being done at a time. He would do the section with the problem tooth first. But if I wanted, since the other sections of the mouth were going to be numbed, why did'nt I just agree to have the other wisdom teeth also taken out as each section was done, even though the teeth were perfectly healthy, but to simply avoid problems in the future. I agreed in principle but got one heck of a rollicking from my wife when I arrived home as she realised how the dentist was trying to do a salemans con on me. That's dentists in the U.S. for you!

To OP, as BD-fan said, keep them clean and do not go for extraction unless and until some problem start appearing in that area. There is absolutely no need of preventive measures if the tooth and gum in that area are healthy at the moment. Visit the dentist at least once in a year for monitoring possible problems.
I have my 3 wisdom teeth still intact. The one that was extracted was due to a cavity which started to form. |

hmmmm lol i do brush my teeth regularly, even more often after meals and especially around my wisdom teeth to reach areas where food is likely to get stuck, i do use mouth wash too.... well i have to book my dentist appointment as im due but i know for a fact he will ask me again if i want them removed or not.... its only coz he showed me some other patients case which was similiar to mine and he ended up having the wisdom tooth and the tooth next to it removed because of the gap in between them,,,, and thats the problem i have right now.... khair il see what shows up on xray when i go to see him....
all i know is my mum would kill me if i get them removed, she had hers unneccessarily removed (and still has them for memory sake, dnt ask why even i dont know) and shes had pain there since it was taken out and that was along time ago, my dad also had his out but the old procedure and he said it ws really painful and it didnt heal for months....... yikes lol thnx 4the replies guys n girls

i got mine removed no problems at all...
used to get headaches , pain behind the eyes , shoulder pain before atleast once a month .. now its all gone if you want to alleviate dental pain the best method is using cloves or clove oil ( chewing natural cloves is the best) .. works much better than a paracetamol if you have problems like me and is affecting you consult a dentist (the one who performs surgery and not the one who refers you to some one else for surgery ) new dental procedures are quite safe atleast here in india and many people get their wisdom teeth removed no problems at all without after effects as well IMHO it is better to go for dental surgery when the wisdom teeth are growing out of shape brushing wont help you if the wisdom teeth grows downwards or sideways as at times it causes mouth ulcers or pus inspite of good dental care |

What a timely thread
Went to the Dentist this morning for what i was told was only going to be a checkup BUT ended up having my upper left wisdom tooth removed. The student dentist at first said we will just treat it BUT then the head dentist came, a very nice Indian lady (not that it matters like) and said it doesnt take lake to remove it and you might as well get it done. I agreed since im too polite to say no even tho i wasnt keen |

The Surgery actually has 5 Doctors. Unless you ask for an appointment with a specific Doctor, the appointment is with whoever is available. One of them is known as "The Paracetamol Kid" - (He's actually in his mid- 40's). Unfortunately one of the pitfalls of having a totally free health service - too many people go and see the Doctor when all they need to do is take a Paracetamol -and this Doctor has taken this to heart and it's his advice for most illnesses.

I have all 32 but two of my upper ones have come little sideways. I had consulted a dentist in London and this is what he told me "Due to evolution the jaws of human are getting smaller as compared to previous generations. Hence its difficult to accomodate 32 teeth and its becoming more and more common to remove last 2-4 teeth." Though I have not removed any. So as long as you have rest 28 teeth healthy, cheers. |

The wisdom teeth will not help you in chewing and you won't miss them. If you have 4 teeth removed, be careful with your teeth as you don't want to lose more. Check if you can get a bridge (they put a fake tooth between couple of good teeth) or an implant later.
Someone at work went through some dental work (older guy) and he went there 7-10 times and I heard it cost $20,000. I don't know what was his problem. Another guy (also older), whose son is a dentist and he had some dental jobs done but probably didn't cost much because of family relations (dentist to dentist discount). |

thing is ive had four teeth removed before for braces when i was 15 and i remember all the injections i was given, hearing the dentist cut grind take my teeth out lol and then i remember it bleeded afterwards and i couldnt eat for a week just soft food etc....
and ive had one filling before so i know how that feels too my point is regarding the AFTER EFFECTS of having one removed, ive heard some people have lost a nerve where the tooth was removed, or the tooth next to the wisdom tooth was damaged whilst taking out the wisdom tooth.... this is what is confusing me if im going to regret having them out or not because my dentist did warn me of the implications but he made it sound so scary or is this just a scam for him to make money?..... and it will not be him who takes them out he will refer me to a dental surgeon in my local hospital where with my consent i can only have them out he even said if you feel like you dont want to go ahead with it then you can stop it there and then...... 12th man - my dentist did say after u get one of the wisdom tooth out i can put a crown (or whatever its called) around the tooth where the widsome tooth has gone and this will close up any gaps in the gum.... i have been on youtube and watched some have theirs taken out (it's not exactly a pretty site lol) and i feel a bit iffy watching surgeons operate... i mean only 1 out of the 4 actually is causing me problems but like ive also read on the nhs website that there can be some side effects of removing wisdom teeth removal.... tough decision this to remove or not (especially where my parents have had 1 out and they had bad experiences and they're telling me not to)

Have to say that im glad i live in the UK - not entirely sure how it works in north america BUT i have found the NHS system to be brilliant.
Appointment times are reasonable and they treat you based on whats best for you as opposed to what will earn them the most money |

The Wisdom teeth are useless. You will not miss them. You chew teeth with regular molars which you have had for years. You want something new to invade the space of loyal molars? Forget the crown business as the dentists love working on teeth.

if they are not going to knock you out then tell your dentist you need extra medication as normal (what they put for average people) anesthetic injections don't work well for you and you feel lot of pain

You dont need to be knocked out for removal of wisdom tooth - its not painful. The drilling bit of fillings knacks so getting knocked out for that would be canny

Seriously i am speaking normally (well as normal as Geordie's can speak ) and was speaking normally yesterday aswell. My mouth/face was numb during the procedure and for a couple of hours after that, then it was fine. Even when it was numb i could speak normally, it just felt odd due to the numbnessI was also terrified at the thought of having a tooth removed BUT once it was done i was thinking what was the fuss all about. The anaesthetic injection stung a little BUT that was it - you just feel pressure on your tooth BUT no pain whatsoever Last edited by Geordie Ahmed; 7th October 2009 at 23:15. |

Uhh oh....
I think my wisdom teeth are growing almost sideways as well. I had a check up last year but the dentist didn't mention anything about them being bad, maybe they weren't like that at that time. There isn't any pain but perhaps i should get them checked out too. |

I decided to go and have my teeth brushed and polished by the hygienist yesterday. Sitting in the waiting was a young man in considerable pain - from the location of his pain it sounded as if he had a problem with his back teeth. It could have been a wisdom tooth.
Later, whilst I was passing the dentists door, a nurse opened the door and came out. It looked as if the dentist literally had one knee on this chaps chest and was using both hands and a lot of force in trying to pull/rotate/pull out something from his mouth. Unfortunately (or fortunately) the door closed and I carried on towards the exit door. I've heard that impacted wisdom teeth are sometimes extremely difficult to take out, especially if they break in pieces, with some pieces still left stuck in the jaw bone. Not trying to give anyone with a wisdom tooth problem the heebie jeebies!
