Extraction of fully erupted wisdom teeth?

Question

I went to the dentist today and was told that all four of my wisdom teeth need to come out. They have all fully erupted (none below my gumline). Has anyone every had this procedure? I'm being sent to an oral surgeon in a couple of weeks and I'm sure I'll have them taken out within a month or so. Can anyone tell me their story about having their erupted wisdom teeth removed? I know the stories about having to have them cut out..I need to know what to expect with my situation. Thanks so much!

Sometimes it is necessary to remove the wisdom teeth even if they come in just fine and unobstructed. It is necessary so that your mouth does not become over-crowded. You can expect to be put to sleep for a while with a bit of laughing gas first, and then some anesthetic.

You'll wake up drowsy and disoriented, but you'll recover just fine. Some people experience discomfort for a period of time spanning a week, but sometimes, people make a full recovery the next day.

Either way, if the surgeon believes your teeth should be removed, it's because he doesn't to see your mouth become overcrowded, resulting in crooked teeth and possibly abseces in your mouth.

I had 2 out and 2 still in the gums. They can give you some pretty good drugs for the pain and there is always the option for sedation (highly recommended). No one likes going to the dentist, but in the end it is always the waiting and worrying that ends up being the worst of it all.
Recovery hurts, I'm not going to lie to you, but it's over before you know it.
Wishing you all the best and my one piece of advice is to follow the dentists/oral surgeons directions very carefully. There will be big holes where the teeth used to be and if you suck (like from a straw) it can cause a lot of problems. I forget what they call that...maybe someone else will post in their answer.

Answer 6

I've only had one removed and since it was erupted they numbed the area with a shot and pulled it like they would do a regular tooth. It was still painful after wards and there was swelling and bleeding.

Answer 7

I had to have all four of mine ripped out b/c I kept having pains. They did two on one side first and then about a week or so later they ripped the other two out. I had to go through all that pain during and after they pulled it out twice. I had to miss alot of work, be put on medication, had to have someone take care of me and my kids b/c it was that bad. I hated not being able to talk and not eat. It was an awful experience that I'm trying to erase from my memory. Just expect to be in alot of pain and alot of blood oozing out. Good luck.

Answer 9

if they are not going to interfere with other teeth, there is no reason to pull them. if you do pull them, go to a biologic dentist. regular dentists and regular oral surgeons will leave in the periodontal ligament and that will cause a cavitation. also, he will use the wrong anesthetic and increase the chance of a cavitation.

Answer 10

I had all four of mine cut out by an oral surgeon without any problems at all. In fact it was uneventful. Went in, gave me sedation, cut them out, recovered, went home. It was great!
Good Luck.
