About 3 years ago I was beginning to become affected by the damn wisdom teeth. They were causing pain for whatever reason and I had to have them taken out. It was the most uncomfortable experience of my life and I am glad its over.
I had 3 removed all with local anesthesia, but I have one left. On a xray it shows enough room to erupt and the dentists said I can wait on this one if I want. I'm not wanting to hear " oh you need to get them out right now otherwise..." I know all that already. All I want to know is there a chance that this last wisdom tooth can erupt late like say in my 40's or 50's im 27 yo.

i think it wont grow when you're fifty, becuse teeth dont grow when you're fifty, if it has enough room for it to grow, it means your save. or maybe it wont grow at all, because some people dont have wisdom tooth at all, but since u have 3 already, maybe this one will grow, but no need to worry coz u have enough space for the tooth to grow

If there's room, that tooth may erupt, but if there's nothing for it to bite against (like an opposing molar), it's kind of useless, just waiting for dental work to be done on.
I just had two molars (the ones before wisdom teeth - already extracted my wisdom teeth) extracted because they were useless, they didn't descend fully and meet when I bite down, and were just extra work for flossing and brushing, and were collecting tartar/cavities. I think I'll be better off without them. There wasn't as much pain because the molars weren't impacted (tylenol was sufficient). Impacted teeth extractions hurt a lot more (cuz they gotta dig deeper). I'm 31.

probable purely specifically situations. I had impacted expertise tooth bumped off and there have been no "extras" bumped off to make room. Plus, if the impacted tooth is bumped off. . .it relatively is making room for the remainder molars, isn't it?
