Do I have to get my wisdom teeth pulled out?!
Question: Do I have to get my wisdom teeth pulled out.?
I was told when I was 21 I would need my wisdom teeth taken out because I have no room in my mouth.. I want a second opinion.. lol.. My teeth are sore and they get like that for a few days off and on for the past 5 years.. They only hurt once a year for the past 5 years..
The one on my right side is breaking through the gums and makes my gums a little swollen, tender and sore.. I am a big baby and don't want to get them pulled out.. Is there any other options.? Why am I 26 and still don't have any wisdom teeth.?Health Question & Answer

I don't know how to answer this because I don't know if your teeth are compacted or if you don't have the room since I haven't seen your mouth! hah
But on a more serious note, I am 20 and I have had mine growing in for the past 2 years or so.. My top ones came in fine with no problems.. My bottom ones have been poking out for maybe a year.. I was told that they are not compacted and that I have room for them.. However, this past week they started KILLING ME, like a splitting head ache, ear ache, jaw ache, everything.. Basically like a tooth ache on steroids.. Apparently if there isn't much room, they hurt really bad when they come in! I would say get them taken out now before you have to deal with this pain! I go through like 12 ibuprofen a day and I am still in pain.. I am going in tomorrow to get mine out!
also, if the top ones come in a long time before the bottom ones, you'll end up needing to get them pulled because they will keep dropping lower.. My dad had to get his top ones out at 35, he got the bottoms out when he was younger..
Ask for a copy of your x-rays next time you go to the dentist.. Then take those to a specialitst for a second opinion.. This way you don't have to pay for another set of x-rays to be made

If you want a second opinion then go to another dentist, they take x rays and show you how the teeth are about to come through.. I waited until I was 18 which was considered waiting to long and boy am I sorry I did, the longer you wait the harder they are to take out.. They forced me to take them out immediately which just so happened to be the same week as Christmas, worst week ever..Health Question & Answer
You need to get those teeth pulled out.. Many people have been in the same predicament, and if it is giving you pain, the best way to go is to get rid of them.. The teeth are going to cause you pain until they are out of your mouth.. If you want the pain to be lessened, ask your dentist to see if they can numb your teeth..Health Question & Answer
