I am 14, and my dentist says that my wisdom teeth are coming in. I can feel them, and one (on the bottom) seems to be coming in sort of under the other tooth and tilting it up. It doesn't hurt right now. Do you think I am going to have to get it surgically removed?

Sounds like it.. it's not good for your mouth to get crowded.. but don't sweat it..I had 4 impacted wisdom teeth and it didn't hurt a bit.. I had them surgically removed in the afternoon, and was out that evening to a restaurant. Not everyone has a bad experience.. just take their advice. Ask him about dry socket, and heed the advice.. it can be very nasty. Important.. it will be almost too irrisistable, but don't stick your tongue in the hole where the tooth was removed.. you can dislodge the blood clot, and thats when you get dry socket, and it is extremely painful..My brother didn't listen and he suffered majorly.

It depends. Sometimes they don't hurt, but start moving the other teeth aside anyway. Becasue of the way yours is coming in, most likely yes. It's not terrible having your wisdom teeth removed, and your dentist knows how to do it the most comfortable way he/she can.

Yes...it will probably have to come out. I had to go through it too. I hated it. I recommend having the doctor put you under while they do it.
