Still have mine. I'm 33. Dentist said they should come out before the grow in when I was 17. I said no. Glad I did.

PHM- Oh man, I am right in your spot. I have needed to get mine out for about two years now but I keep telling my dentist I don't have time, he is getting bitchier and bitchier at me.

My top are all the way in and fine. The bottom are sideways and he said aren't shifting my teeth but eventually could, might as well get them out now. He said he needs to take out all 4 b/c the top would be biting on gum instead of tooth and wouldn't serve a function if I had only the bottom removed so while I am under they would go ahead and remove all 4.

I dunno, I am so apprehensive about it. I am so good about most things, I have had some crazy and painful things done to me but I just flat-out hate the dentist. Ugh.

My mouth is large enough to keep them, or at least that's what my dentist told me. They've all grown in, and don't get me any trouble.

I got mine out when I was 17.

Opted for the gas, so I was completely out from start to finish.

Doctor sent me home with like 4 different drugs for swelling and pain. took some of the swelling ones, but didn't need any pain ones.

i had no visible swelling and went out the next day. the only hassle was when you get a little bit of food stuck in there it can be a pain to flush it out.

didn't have any complications.



a girl i knew on the other hand blew up like a chipmunk, couldn't eat or go out for two weeks, got infected and dry sockets and had to deal with it for a month.

Yeah some people if they need them out they can do a lot of pain to the flesh of your gums and stuff... can get infected and cause a heart attack believe it or not... mine r grown in quite a bit but im getting mine out because i've been getting headaches etc so theres a good chance they r infected and i gotta get them out before they get worse.

I still have mine too.

Re: Have you had your wisdom teeth out yet?
 

I have put it off for over a year. I actually have a cavity on one, so I should either get them removed for fix the cavity.

Question: What is the worse case scenario of not having them removed?

Re: Have you had your wisdom teeth out yet?
 

i gave my perfect scenario as well as a bad one of a friend, but in total, i remember about ten people getting it done and only that one girl had problems beyond a couple days.

for most people, just mild pain and swelling for 1-2 days and the gross feeling of your gums back there for a week.
