My wisdom teeth did not completely come in until I was in my 20s.  They took forever to fully grow in.  I did not have to get them removed.  But because they are so far back in my mouth, it is a challenge to brush them properly.  Four years ago I got a cavity on the surface of one facing the back of my mouth.  The dentist could not reach it to fill it (partly below the gum line) so he pulled the tooth.  It was in the top of my mouth, he only used Novocaine.  The noise of the extraction was horrible (crunching) but the pain was minimal.  The upper molars only have one central root. The bottom molars have four roots on each corner.  Most complications arise from not completely getting all of the roots out, dry bone (when there is not flesh over the extraction site), and infection.  Also some people have bone in the way of the extraction or it is damaging nearby teeth.  After my extraction, my dentist used a laser to cauterize the wound and kill the bacteria.  I went home that day with Tylenol and was a little sore for a couple of days, but it was not that bad.

They will begin by sedating you.  You will be out during the procedure.  Then he will make an incision.  He will use several instruments to wiggle the tooth out.  If the tooth is difficult or under bone, he will have to use the drill.  Like I said, you will not know what is going on.  After your teeth come out, your both sides of your mouth will be stuffed with gauze, which you bite down.  Most likely, you will not have stiches.  Then you will go to a recovery room and wait for about 30 minutes.  Then you will be sent home with prescriptions and a blunt-tiped (not sharp) syringe.  You will use that after getting up, after eating, and before bed to irrigate your lower sockets.  You do this because food can get trapped in your sockets.  Also, do not drink from a straw or smoke for at least a week or you may get a dry socket.  If this happens, you will go back to the oral surgeons office to have it packed.  Dry sockets hurt very bad.  you will know if you get one.  It is nothing to be afraid of.  I promise...

It can vary from a few days to a week or so. And you may still have sensitivity up to around two weeks later (if it was a difficult extraction or you had impacted wisdom teeth removed for example).

Wisdom teeth are often impacted, meaning they are covered by soft tissue (gums), hard tissue (bone) or both.  Just as with any extraction, once teeth are removed, the body starts the process of healing the extraction site, via inflammation (sending cells, nutrients and proteins to the site of the wound) and wound healing (organizing all those things into a matrix and eventually filling in the socket).  Unfortunately, inflammation hurts, and that's why there's ibuprofen- over the counter is fine, but usualy your dentist will give you something stronger (by prescription).\n If the teeth are in your mouth (erupted), the surgical procedure will go more smoothly (most of the time), than if they are impacted, in which case more gum tissue has to be pushed around, and possibly some bone removed to get the teeth out.  One last thing about 3rd molars- they are like the wild cards of molars.  They can tilt all different ways, and have roots that twist in different directions.  Bottom line- the more hard and soft tissue (bone and gums) that have to be disturbed to remove the tooth, the more complicated the surgery, the more healing there is, and the more pain.  Make sure you ask your dentist for pain meds that are appropriate for the level of impaction that the wisdom teeth had.

Getting your wisdom teeth out is NOTHING compared to the pain of them growing and crowding your other teeth!!   Bring something to clench that fits into the palm of your hands like a rolled up newspaper or a beanie baby...it helps to squeeze it when you feel anxious..I'm not kidding, it works!  You'll see!  Besides, it's gonna be a peice of cake, cuz I already said a little prayer 4 u.......

I am a dental assistant and honestly, yes it does hurt. Your best bet is to get a general anesthetic, (one that puts you to sleep.) When I had ine removed 3 years ago, I woke up and felt nothing because I was still under the anesthetic. After I woke from my nap however, I was in misery. My best advice is to take your pain medicine on schedule. It's alot easier to control the pain than to have to get rid of it again. Your cheeks will be "puffy" and the pain will last anywhere from 2-4 days. The nerve is not such a big deal. It sounds scary, but is in fact very common. Just avoid getting a dry socket by not smoking or drinking out of a straw and use COLD compresses. Hot will open the blood clod that has been formed after removal. From my experience having teeth removed is alot less hurtful then people believe due to the horror stories by other people. Just keep a positive attitude and don't work yourself up too much. Promise it's better then what you think. Hope this helps!!

Go to the dentist!  a wisdom tooth could cause an infection that could make you very very ill.  A dentist will only charge you a couple hundred $'s for extraction and if you tell them ahead of time, they will take payments.\n\nYou could find a dental school in your area, they may do it for a fraction of the cost, but you are getting people who have no experience, and the pain level could be worse.

Dizziness and constipation are two side effects ov Vicodin.  Are you taking more than the directions read?  You shouldn't take more than three within a 24 hour period.  If you are in this much pain from having your wisdom teeth removed, from yesterday, you may want to follow up with your dentist ASAP.  There is a condition that CAN happen when you have an extraction called "dry socket" which is VERY painful!!\n\nJust know that wisdom teeth extraction is typically  painful.  It will just take some time, although please keep in mind, don't overdose on the Vicodin.

You will have to get your wisdom teeth removed. Due to evolution, our jaws have become smaller and we don't need as many molars as our ancestors. The meat/food we chew is not as tough. Since there is no room in most of our mouthes for our wisdom teeth, they need to be removed. Many people are being born nowadays without any wisdom teeth at all.

Well,simply if you have aches and there is some swallowing,that is a sign of not well done dental surgery or developing an infection,which is very dangerous. As to how you can know to whom you may trust..one simple tip from my own experience ask friends,relatives etc..Good luck!!

It is most likely the stitches. My stitch fell out the day after I had my first wisdom tooth pulled and I called the dentist and he had me come back in to check it and said that I didn't need it. Do call them and have them check it for you.

Sometimes wisdom teeth are broken apart before they're removed to make the process easier than pulling the entire tooth out at once. In that case, there'd be no teeth to keep. But, if I was given the option, I'd keep one of them.\n\nAs far as getting them removed or not, that's something you'll need to talk to your dentist about. Depending on the structure of your mouth, it may not have room to allow for the extra teeth. If that happens and they aren't removed, either (1) your wisdom teeth will end up becoming impacted, meaning they don't (fully) come to the surface like they should or (2) your teeth will become crowded, meaning the wisdom teeth will push your other teeth out of alignment to make room for themselves. As you can see, neither scenario is great, particularly (1), as impacted teeth can cause infections, swelling, pain, and nerve damage.

who ever said of course it will hurt needs to find a new dentist!! It will NOT hurt. But it will feel really weird because you will have a lot of pressure in your mouth. If the dentist gives you plenty of anesthetic and you are completely numb it will not hurt at all, but it will be a little annoying, yes. You can also call your dentist and tell them you are scared and they can call in a prescription for you to take one hour prior to your appointment to relax you like valuum. Also you may want to use nitrox oxide ( laughing gas) to also help relax you. It wont get you numb like some people think...but it does help take your mind off of it! Also bring a book or music so you will not hear noises because they will be working next to your ear so it can be noisy but this is also normal.Also aftercare...don't smoke or suck through a straw, this can cause dry socket and they will explain this to you as well. But most important make sure to take something for pain while your still numb that way it kicks in by the time your un numb, they may prescribe you something so fill it right away, just dont take on an empty stomach cause you will not want to puke after having an extraction done.....not to worry i have been doing this for a long time and have had my teeth pulled and most people tell me that it wasn so bad. Most of the people listing advice just had a bad experience or bad dentist.

Going to sleep is way better than being awake for 4 extractions!\n\n1)  Have soft foods on hand for dinner & and the next few days.  Ice cream, yogurt, scrambled eggs, soups.\n\n2)  You might be "weird" when you first wake up so have somebody with you that won't mind!  Weird is acting strange, walking in a different direction -- and vomiting because of the anesthesia.\n\n3)  Follow the oral surgeons instructions.  Don't try home remedies.  They no longer recommend salt water rinses.\n\nI know it's a bummer to have it done but better now than later.

It is recommended that the opposing wisdom teeth are taken out as well. there are a couple reasons why. The first being that if you take out say, the two on top, the two on the bottom become useless as they have nothing above them to meet with, so they have no function. Second, if you take out let's say the two wisdom teeth on the bottom, the opposing teeth on top will seek out a surface to meet. They will start to drop down. This will lead to root structure becoming exposed, which can be very painful. Also, if they start to drop, they will not stop until they meet something, this may cause you to start biting the gum tissue where the wisdom teeth were removed on the bottom. this can be very painful. \n\n\n  good luck
