Comments on: Why Do We Have Wisdom Teeth?

I’m 17 and although my parents didn’t get their wisdom teeth until late 20’s unfortunately all four of mine are groowwiing and one has “erupted.” I have a very small jaw, in fact one side is crooked and shorter than the other, and I’m just finishing braces so they recommended to get all four out asap. I’ve never had surgery before, never had nitrous, never had my blood drawn even, so I almost started crying in fear when they broke the news to me.

I find a lot of these comments very interesting especially you lucky bastards who get them in straight with no problems! Argh!

All I have to say is that if you’re absolutely terrified to pissing your pants like I am, of needles and pain (I get cavities every year because of my own dental issues but I drill without novocaine because needles scare me so much) then ask your oral surgeon to prescribe you a an anti-anxiety medication to take BEFORE YOU EVEN STEP IN THE OFFICE (Like attavan). This way you won’t sweat and shake and cry on your way to the chair. GET NITROUS FIRST, THEN THE IV, GET EVERYTHING YOU CAN!

Another thing interesting someone said is the glucose bag which I’ll suggest to my surgeon because I have anemia and some lbs problems and I really don’t want to go into a coma.

I expect to be posting back here in a few months!

I am 39 years old and I have my third wisdom tooth coming in. Hurts like hell. I had the other 2 pulled in my twenties. Maybe this one will need to come out.

i have 4 wisdom teeth that grew through fine 22 years ago but i keep biting my tongue very badly, and i can feel them pulling now so i want to have them took out but i;ve never even had a filling at the age of 42, the thought of having a needle petrifies me so to have all 4 teeth took out under a local anathsetic is a no go. Will i be able to be put to sleep for this to be done

I’m 17 years of age and i have a wisdom tooth on the bottom left side that was growing in and it hurt just a little. but the pain went away so ignored it. Now the pain is back and it is very FREAKIN ANNOYING. Sometimes i think this is punishment from God.

hello, im 29 (a little old for a new tooth i thought)and i have one wisdom tooth attempting to come through on my top left hand side.the same tooth had issues two years ago and my dentist told me it was nothing to worry about, it would continue to go up and down, and when it did break through it would need to be removed as there was no room for it. This time though, i feel really sick in my stomach. Does anyone know if feeling nauseous is a common symptom of a wisdom tooth coming?

Hey. I’m a sixteen (turning seventeen in a few days) and I’m having two wisdom teeth coming in. One of them is growing forward and doesn’t hurt as much unless you get near the bottom top (make sense?), where it pushes the most against the BOTTOM of my mouth. Because it’s growing outward, yeah? But the other tooth is growing BACKWARDS and if giving me a little bit of pain. Like, starting to hurt on that side. Is this pain just normal…teeth growing pain? Like, it might not be anything serious? Just more teeth breaking through thick gums or could this be a problem?
