Should You Remove Wisdom Teeth?

Wisdom-teeth, also known as third molars, are the final set of molars that typically emerge in the back of the mouth. These teeth usually make their appearance during the late teenage years or early twenties, although they may not always cause problems. However, there are potential issues and complications to be aware of. Overcrowding, impaction, infection, or damage to adjacent teeth are common concerns that are associated. That's why many people undergo wisdom teeth extraction. Pain, infection, decay, or preventive measures are often the reasons behind this procedure. During the extraction, anesthesia is administered, an incision is made, and the tooth is carefully removed. #shorts #3d #animation #dental #teeth #wisdomteeth

I don't know which hurts more, taking my wisdom tooth out or just get used to eating in a painful way 💀

Wisdom teeth actually grow sideways but are supposed to straighten upwards as they move. Mines did, never had to get them removed. Got lucky and my teeth still straight

Just got my wisdom teeth removed yesterday. I'm 21 years old, and they gave me general anesthesia VIA an IV. I fell asleep within 30 seconds to a minute, and when I woke up, there was gauze in my mouth. Now that the surgery is done, I have those "Chipmunk cheeks" and I am sore. It hurts, but it's not agonizing. I have to eat soft foods like mashed potatoes, Jell-O, and pudding. Wish me luck, because this will be my life for 1 or 2 weeks.

Edit: The surgery was covered by my insurance, but for context I had all 4 removed. Without insurance, it would have been $3, 500 out of pocket.

I've heard that wisdom teeth were something useful for people back in the old days, but people's jaws have gotten smaller and now we don't need them

American dentists: "That'll be $60, 000 please."

Scratching the excess flesh with the other tooth is the definition of sadomasochism

I never got mine removed and the dentists were like “yea they came in straight so as long as you’re not in pain they can stay”

"But why would we ever remove the wisest of our teeth?"

[JoeBob]

Dentists told me over and over I needed to get mine removed before they grew in. I mentioned that I had gaps in a lot of my teeth, so I should have lots of room. Dentists kept telling me that wasn't the case.

I let my wisdom teeth grow in, no issues occurred. I now get asked by dentists when I got braces (because my teeth are so straight now). I told them I didn't, I just let my wisdom teeth grow in.

And they STILL tell me I need to get my fully grown wisdom teeth removed.

The million dollar question is: Is it Wise to remove the Wisdom teeth?😂😂😂

Just keep in mind that your wisdom teeth can cause problems literally at any point. They can be safely ignored until they actually start causing a problem, but once they do, it is recommended to get them removed as soon as possible.

I did not have any problems with my wisdom teeth until i was 28. Then they started pushing their way out of my gums. Just felt slight pressure for a couple of weeks which i ignored. Then the molar in front of my bottom left wisdom tooth shattered while i was eating one day. Had to get that broken tooth pulled.

the other three weren't pushing through yet, so it was recommended to ignored them for the time being. so i did. 6 months later, all three impacted and caused extreme pain out of nowhere one day.

Had to deal with it for almost a week before i could get them pulled because they were infected. tooth pain is the worst pain i have ever had in my entire life. nothing else i've been through even compares.

So if you have any issues with your wisdom teeth, please do yourself a favor a setup an appointment with a dentist to get them pulled as soon as possible, before they become a real problem.

I’m keeping mine, need all the wisdom I can get.

Im visiting the dental clinic tomorrow to remove my wisdom tooth. Pls pray for me

[celiaakey]

Dentists will always tell you to get your wisdom teeth out cause they get a pay cheque. Not always do you actually need to get them taken out.

Quite frankly, I intend to keep mine until needed. Surgery of any kind makes me so anxious I'd rather not subject myself to it until it becomes an issue.

Luckily enough I have a large jaw and plenty of room
