So it looks like my lower wisdom teeth are not playing nice. They are both pretty much horizontal and the right one (32) is causing problems with my rear-most molar (31). It is pushing against the root of 31 and causing it to do an ultra-slow-motion back flip. This is not good, I have been informed. The dentist believes that 32 should be removed, and I should consider removing the other lower wisdom tooth to avoid the same thing on the other side. I am 21 and have otherwise pretty good teeth. My questions are thus: Should I fo and let someone dig around in my mouth? Why not. Should I get both lowers done in one go or wait to see if the other one will cause problems? Get them done at same time. Why pay another labor charge, when you're there? How much does getting a wisdom tooth pulled suck? man up, stop being a pussy I would be put under for the operation, which I have never experienced before. What should I expect? Have all shots current, mark underwear, with magic marker in inconspicuous spot. When you get home if mark has moved, go to clinic ASAP What can I expect as far as pain and recovery time after the operation? 1-2 days For someone who has pretty good teeth, sounds like there are issues down the road for you |

Get them pulled. Failure to do do will wreck your other teeth and you will have jaw pain from the teeth pushing on the others.
Get them all done at once. It will hurt the same as just one, but better to hurt once than 2 or more times. It's not fun, but you will survive. I had mine out at 18. If you wait and do it when you're older, it will only be harder to recover from. Plus you will endure more pain until you have it done. |

Had 3 out a few years ago. It was a piece of cake.
They knocked me out, and when I came to I felt no pain. Mouth was sore for a few days. A couple of visits for dry socket. Otherwise, it was a breeze. If they're causing you problems, you gotta get them pulled. |

I only had 2 and they didnt bother me or cause any problems, until I was 37. One of them got a cavity bc of the angle and not being able to brush it. The dentist said no use in filling it, he was going to pull it. I said, if you get one, get both.
Not as bad as people said, ice in zip lock baggies and pain pills. Trust him when he tells you to take the pain pills. |

I would go ahead and just have the all four removed at once and be done. Eventually mine would have started causing issues so I went to an oral surgeon and had them taken out......
They knocked me out for the surgery so entire procedure was over before I knew it. Then I was on pain killers for about a week so didnt experience much pain. I had no complications so I would have to say having them pulled was not a big deal. It was a nice week off work sitting around watching movies and relaxing. |

Pain was very minor and the pain meds took care of it completely. I had mine out on Friday and was back at work on Monday. But this was my personal experience, YMMV. |

I had one pulled when I was like 17, 'cause that one pretty much had to go, like now. The other three about 16 years later. There's one corner of my mouth that hasn't had root canals/crowns/abscesses/extractions. I'm convinced that if I'd have gotten those other teef taken care of by my mid 20s my mouf would be in better shape. And that's really one of my only regrets. They had to pull four teef before I got braces, so, my teef have always been crowded in my mouf.

I got all 4 of mine taken out at the same time at 18. 1. yes 2. get both 3. Only on the first day it sucks really 4. They put me to sleep. Woke up in my room with gauze in my mouth. I hardly remember being dragged to the car or the ride home. Funny thing is that i pulled an all nighter before my operation, so going to sleep was no problem 
5. One of my teeth was a special case, so it was 1.5 weeks of slight pain in that corner when i chew food. The rest were "normal" and 2-3 days. The day of operation sucks the most but then later learned how to chew food from the front. |

Paging Drsaleee Do it. Had all 4 of mine done about 3 years ago; no sedation, just shots. No big deal really; then again mine weren't impacted, bone wrapped, etc. I think in those cases you have to go to a oral surgeon. It also makes cleaning the rear a lot easier.

Had the same situation on one side of my mouth. Ignored it because it did not hurt. Then after several years, a little discomfort. Wisdom tooth fine. Tooth in front needed a root canal and a crown. So the wisdom tooth came out first. The a week later the root canal process. I spent a month with people shoving their hands in my mouth, On top of the expected pain, my jaw was sore from being pried open every week.
If you wait until you turn 40 it becomes worse. Get it done now and save your other teeth. |

Had 4 wisdom teeth, 2 impacted (when they are pushing into the adjacent teeth like yours) removed in one shot around the same age.
Same day sucked after drugs wore off. Groggy, sore, disoriented, weak. Next day up and around minimal swelling, tender but not painful. That afternoon I was out running errands but taking it easy. Had to rinse with a syringe of saline solution to keep clean and be careful chewing and brushing for a while but they healed up fine and all was well. No more aching jaw or periodic gum irritation/infections. Do it. |

Yank them. I was missing my upper wisdom teeth. The lowers, when they came in cut into the soft tissue of my mouth. I guess since I was out of real estate. The pain they caused was awful. I only needed local anesthetic since they were exposed and the Doc just yanked them. Recovery was maybe 7 days or more.

I had one removed several years ago and I was conscious. It sucked. I could feel all the vibrations and they had to give me more local anesthetic because I could start to feel the pain halfway through the procedure. I just had the other three out on Friday (I was under local anesthetic so I remember nothing) and the pain is annoying but not horrible. The worst part is not eating solid food. Yesterday was the first day I could eat solid food (and it had to be pretty soft), and I still look like a chipmunk. I would be put under for the operation, which I have never experienced before. What should I expect? You'll get NO2 (laughing gas--at least I think it is NO2), then an IV, then you'' be asleep in a few seconds (for me it took 10seconds--I had my watch running and last thing I remember was 00:10:##). You'll wake up confused and pretty doped up. I was able to walk unassisted, but was not in any condition to drive (I locked my carry up as a safety measure, too). Who knows if you'll be able to walk or not. What can I expect as far as pain and recovery time after the operation? See above. See the blue. Also I am 21 as well, and my teeth were impacted (so if yours are not, you may have a speedier recovery). I didn't use of of the Vicodin that they prescribed me--only pain meds I've used were Ibuprofen and it has been more the sufficient. |

Get them all done at once. Go to an oral surgeon if they're impacted. I would recommend general anesthesia instead of local if they're impacted.
I had all 4 done at once, 2 were impacted. It's kind of a strange sensation having them drilled and cracked and broken apart while you're still awake, which is why I recommend being knocked out.
I had pain for a couple of days, but the Vicodin took care of it. |

Go to an oral surgeon and get put out. Have them all done at once. The anesthetic is the expensive part so getting it all done at once is more cost effective. When I had mine done they gave me the anesthetic then I woke up, all done. People told me I would be out of it and in serious pain all weekend. I was driven home and was fine. Biggest pain in the ass is keeping the sockets clean.
