Wisdom teeth???

Question

This is kind of a random topic I guess, but I wanna hear what you ladies think.

Did you get yours removed? Was it necessary? (i.e. were they impacted, coming in sideways, etc) Did you keep yours?

I recently went to the dentist and they've been trying to get mine out for years now. 😂 I've always thought of most wisdom tooth removals as unnecessary and all for money. I've looked at my x-rays, and they're coming in completely straight. They don't hurt me. They're not impacted. I clean them very well 3 times a day.

So, thoughts on this?

Answer

(Lost post sorry, just so many feels about this)

I just got mine out about three weeks ago, I had been putting it off for over a year. They were causing minor pain for a long time though, because they were coming in crooked and hitting the roots of my other teeth.

Oh gawd
Barely fit a spoon in my mouth
Ice constantly 
Bruises, and drinking applesauce because I was so hungry and couldn't eat crap. Lost about 5 lbs

The surgery was quick but the recovery was awful, I felt terrible for a week and the oxycodone made me vomit. I wasn't loopy from the laughing gas at all, I just felt like shit. I could hardly open my mouth to eat anything and my face was really bruised and swollen. I couldn't chew for a long time, and when I barely could (I jumped the gun because eating soft food for two weeks sucks) it would take me an hour to eat any small meal that included chewing. So much strong ibuprofen. Finally I can open my mouth all the way, but the holes where they used to be are large and food gets stuck in them, and I have to put a syringe in them after eating to flush out the food with salt water, or I will get an infection. It sucks man.

I hope it's all worth it in the end... I think it will be since they had been causing me pain before.

I look normal now 😂

Mine will be pulled soon. Military makes you get the pulled before basic training.

Answer

My wisdom teeth are coming in straight as well and don't really hurt too much so I'm also considering just keeping them in as long as I'm not in pain.

Answer

My X-rays say I don't have any. Luck me....

Answer

okay so I thought I'd be fine not removing them, and I was for awhile and then today the pain hit me and holy was it bad, they grew in fine an painless so I was like okay cool I'll keep em but wow can't wait to get these stupid teeth outta my mouth, waiting on appointment, my advice, get them out before they start to hurt!!!

Answer

I had my two lower wisdom teeth removed earlier this year. I never developed my upper wisdom teeth.(yay for me) the surgery went fine, I only remember waking up and the car ride home. The recovery was easy for the most part, the only thing was I couldn't completely open my jaw for a few days. That just means ice cream for days!

Answer

My dentist said I had to get mine removed because my mouth doesn't have room for them.

When they come in, I plan on keeping them unless they cause me pain.

Answer

I had just spent 2 years with braces and they started coming in and moving my straight teeth so I got them removed. It was a horrific experience but that's only because the dentist that did it was shit.
