My wisdom teeth grew in a couple of months ago and they are fine and it's easier to chew with them. So I was wondering if you were forced to get them removed.

no if they are not causing any problems they can stay!

No -
Are your teeth crowded? Are they crooked? If yes, have your wisdom teeth out and it may correct the problem. If not - you're probably ok
These days the dentists will often remove them simply because they are so hard to clean and will often not break through the gums. It's worse if they get decay so they take them out as a preventive measure.
It's not too bad.

If your wisdom teeth don't cause problems when they are coming in then they won't have to come out, unless they start causing trouble later. My wisdom teeth were hurting when they came in, so they decided to pull them and that hurt worse. Well until they got better that is.

Not necessarily, but i had mine removed coz it pushes my other teeth forward. It was a bit painful and i cried when the first right wisdom teeth was removed then I had to get braces to return my other teeth back to its normal position so it won't look crooked..

i had extensive dental work in the last year. I am the youngest of seven children and the first to have any wisdom teeth out at all. i had my bottom ones removed only because the dentist said if they bidged the tiniest bit they could dislodge the crowns he put in. let your dentist be your answer...but seek a second opinion.

No you do not have to get your wisdom teeth pulled. If they are not intruding on other roots from other teeth and they are not pushing ypur other teeth out of alignment there is no need to have them pulled.

You don't haf to unless you need th room in your mouth,for some reason or if it's causing your other teeth to over lap each other if not and your not having any pain leave them alone.I had mine pulled 3 months ago only cause I had to.

No unless your dentist says they have to go leave well enough alone I did. I kept mine well into my thirties I just got one removed in the next year another other one has to go. The dentist said they had to go otherwise I would still have that tooth and would keep the one that got to be extracted next year as well.

I actually had to have mine cut out before they grew. They would have totally screwed up all of the hard work my braces did! But if yours grow in straight I'd say leave them in!

I have had mine since 18 and now I am 25 and I still have them. If they really interfere with your well being and eating then get rid of them.
