Question

yeah the question up there pretty much explains it

okay well the ortho is makin me get an app. to see when i can have them removed.... does it hurt can you feel it im bad with pain

Answer 1

It's not weird or unusual to get them at 15. They usually come in between ages 15 and 21. I was 17-18 when mine started coming in. The hurt like hell. I just wanted pain meds all day. I had to get them all removed because there wasn't enough room in my mouth for them. I pretty much slept for like 4 days staight when i had them removed. Id wake up take pain med and go back to sleep. There was lots of blood in my mouth(especially that first night it went away the 2nd day) but they do put stitches in. Also your mom and doctor will probably pressure you into eating a drinking. By doctor was like you need to drink a gallon of water a day. But i just couldn't do that. I did drink juice alot. It took a couple of days of drinking juice, ensure, etc. Then i ate mashed potatoes, eggs and jello. soft foods that could be easily eaten for about 4-5 days. Your experience may not be as painful as mine. I hate feeling pain. My brother had all 4 of his removed and then like 3 days later he was eating steak. But he is tolerates pain much more than me. I think if even tore a stitch that night doing that. but of course he didn't mine that. Neways good luck. no need to be afraid or nething like that.

Answer 2

not at all. i'm almost 16 and i got mine mine removed about 2 months ago because they were growing in almost sideways. make sure you go to the dentist and get them x-rayed to make sure there's nothing weird going on in there. if you've had braces or do now, then defiently get them checked because after all that work the wisdom teeth can mess everything up. luckily i got mine removed before they messed my teeth up. getting them removed is a whole other story.

Answer 3

Mine started to come in when I was 18. Unfortunately, they came in at something of an angle, displaced other teeth, caused a lot of pain, and had to be extracted before they were fully erupted.

15 sounds a little early, but not excessively early(?).

Answer 4

No, it happens.

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."

Answer 5

my cousin had all of her wisdom teeth come in by the time she was 14. it wasnt that bad because they didnt have to cut through the gums to get them out. i've known others that have needed them out even though they hadnt broken through, and they say thats more of a pain.

from what i understand though, it only hurts that much on the first day, after that, its just a royal pain.

Answer 6

No, I started to get the first one when I was 16, although the rest didn't come in until I was 18 or 19. If yours are coming in and you're in pain, buy some orajel and rub it on the spot (it will numb it) until you can get to the dentist.

Answer 7

No, it is not uncommon or weird. I had mine removed and they gave me sodium pentathol (spelling may be wrong). It was tender for a few days, but not too bad because my Mother babied me. You'll have to eat soft things for a few days (jello, ice cream, things like that), gargle with warm salt water, and lay around for a day or so, but other than that, it's really not too bad at all.

Answer 8

No not really. I started to get mine when i was about 16. They were all through by the time I was 21.

Answer 9

No not weird, I didn't start getting mine til I was 18, and then only one came though so I had all four removed at the same time.

Answer 10

Wisdom teeth come in at different people at different times. You can get them as early as 12 or as late as..never.
