my two bottom wisdom teeth had grown out about two years ago, and one of them was askew, now there's another one almost fully out now, that's also askew but it's on top of the straight one. i woke up this morning with a weird feeling in the straight bottom one and it made me think maybe it's the top tooth pressing on it. is that bad? am i going to have to pull any of them out? or will it be corrected through time (and pain :D)?

Unfortunately teeth do not correct over time. You'll probably need them removed.
It's actually not that bad. It's only 2 or 3 days of discomfort.

I am guessing you will most likely have to have them pulled by the way it sounds. I would get an appointment before you start having major pain. Almost everyone ends up having their wisdom teeth pulled anymore. Just curious, How old are you? I would suggest a trip to the dentist in the near future. Good luck - and don't worry - it's not that bad having them out. It is way worse pain when they cause trouble in your mouth.

You should make an appointment with your dentist to have that checked out. If you leave this for too long, it could cause problems for you later.
I had mine removed almost 2 years ago because they were impacted and were starting to grow diagonally and pushing against my back molars under the surface of my gums. It was going to make all my teeth start crowding if I didn't have them out.
The sooner you see the dentist, the better.

My guess is this wont go away, only get worse. Thats what happened to me, and believe me, it is bad.
probably, you will get an infection in the gum if it is growing into it, and the tooth socet will become impacted. If this happens you will need emergency surgery, which is EXPENSIVE! The only up side: the pain killers they give you after they rip the teeth out of your mouth with a pliers. Go to the dentist now and get it fixed, please. You will be very happy you did, I promise.

Most people get their wisdom teeth pulled. The pain might go away but im sure eventually it will come back. Just go to the dentist and see what they say if you dont beleive me ;) Im going through the same problem - my teeth hurts soooo bad but people just tell me to go get it pulled and that most people do.

You should really get those teeth checked out. My friend had his wisdom teeth pulled out over the spring break even though you couldn't even see them except for a tiny white mark of the teeth appearing. If he had to pull them out then, then i think you should get yours pulled out like, now.

probably will have to come out. you don't need them so anything that causes any irregularity, your dentist will most likely just yank 'em.
it only hurts for a while as opposed to possible constant pain if you leave 'em in.

this is dangerous, u need to go have xrays immediately.
this could effect your health if it is impacted like that.
Keep teabags on the pain and pray to God.
