Wisdom teeth??

Question

it hurts like crazy..should i immediatly go to the dentist..i mean it's only one of them that really hurt but should i go

Answer 1

Many people have four wisdom teeth, one on each side of the upper and lower jaws, while others have from 1 to as many as 8 wisdom teeth.

It has been a customary practice to routinely extract wisdom teeth at an early age. However, there is a growing body of research that shows that there is no substantial evidence to either support wisdom teeth removal or to leave them in place (Refer to link below to the Cochrane Collaboration.). Their position is that 60 percent of wisdom tooth surgeries are unnecessary.

From statistics the other side of the fence, however, show that about 85 percent of wisdom teeth will need to be removed. These contradicting ideas and statistics might indicate that there is a substantial amount of subjectivity in deciding whether or not to remove wisdom teeth.

If you are concerned about your wisdom teeth, talk to your dentist. Your dentist will advise you about the risks, complications and outcomes related to keeping or removing your wisdom teeth.

Answer 2

When my wisdom teeth first started bothering me (right around age 22-23), it felt like I had a piece of food stuck behind my back molars, and it caused headaches and a great deal of discomfort. At the very least, go to the dentist to get some x-rays to find out if they are impacted or if they are growing in correctly. It would also be wise to go to the dentist in case it is not your wisdom teeth that are causing you pain. If it is your wisdom tooth, and the dentist/oral surgeon feels removal would be the next step, if all four are visible, I believe they can take them all out at that time before they all get uncomfortable.

DEAR AM SO CURIOUS,
CONSIDERING THAT THEY ARE CAUSING YOU GRIEF NOW, IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA TO REMOVE THEM. FYI SEE;
Wisdom teeth
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wisdom teeth are third molars that usually appear between the ages of 17 and 24 (although they may appear when older, younger, or may not appear at all). They are commonly extracted when they affect other teeth—this impaction is colloquially known as "coming in sideways."

Wisdom teeth are an example of a vestigial structure.[1] Some argue that recent changes to softer diets which cause less wear on the teeth may be causing the third molars to be less useful, and, in fact, problematic in many humans.[1] Alternatively, it is possible that wisdom teeth were useful when it was common for humans to lose several teeth to decay by the age when they appear.[2] Most people have four wisdom teeth, but it is possible to have more or fewer. Absence of one or more wisdom teeth is an example of hypodontia. Any extra teeth are referred to as supernumerary teeth.[2][3]

GOOD LUCK!

Answer 4

If it hurts you should go ASAP. I could be the begining of an infection or pericornitis. If it is a wisdom tooth and only one hurts, they may only take one out. If you go to see an oral surgeon, they may suggested getting all out at once due to not having to undergo multiple proceedures on different days, and not having to pay each time to be sedated if needed.

Answer 5

Yes, right away.

When doctors (physician) have a question concerning about tetth, they go to see the dentists right away.

So do you, especially since it is hurting now.
