what would happen if you never got your wisdom teeth pulled out?

Question

? does it mess up your other teeth?? or anything like that??

thanks..

Answer 1

if you got a small jaw, then it will break up or push teeth out of alignment.

teeth that are not in their proper place will not be brushed/flossed properly and that leads to germs. these germs will affect the gums. leading to root canal problems eventually.

so if you got space for wisdom teeth, then nothing needs to be done. i got mine out, and i got a pretty big mouth, as you can tell. ate lots of ice cream during the puffy period.

Answer 2

The joke is, "If your wisdom teeth stay in, you'll be smart forever . . . ." Seriously, what you have is an infection, probably caused by rotting roots and/or deterioration of the bone that is holding them. If the tooth is "trying to come out", the roots can no longer hold it. Because they are at the back of the mouth, wisdom teeth are almost always "blocked" by the molar next to them. The infection and the flexing were probably what was causing the pain. As your immune system kills the infection, things will probably feel better. You can wiggle the tooth to see if a root is broken or if the socket into which the root sets is too large, meaning bone is missing. Unfortunately, in either case, the original problem which caused the infection and structural damage will still be with you. Why go through the pain of letting it happen again in the future, when you can get it over with right now without that future pain? We all want to avoid expenses, and we SURE want to avoid the dental pain. One day, people will be able to get a third set of teeth. Till then, you will have to plan for both expenses and pain. I suggest you keep your mouth as sterile as possible to help your immune system make you comfortable for a long enough time that you can save up a thousand or so. The pain will not be nothing, but it will be managable. "Does it hurt?" "Yes." "Do I like it?" "No." "Can I take it?" "YOU BET!"

Answer 3

Mine were never extracted. They grew in without incident. I must add that I had a molar in each quadrant (so 4 in all) pulled when I got braces which probably enabled my mouth to accommodate the wisdom teeth without any problems. Every mouth is different. If you have impacted wisdom teeth, my understanding is that they must come out even if not causing any pain or problems.

Answer 4

My wisdom teeth grew in just fine. I remember it like it was yesterday....(cue the reflection music)

I went to the movies and ate popcorn (of course) and afterwards I felt like I had a bit of popcorn kernal stuck behind my second molar. After brushing my teeth, it was still there...after flossing it was still there. I didn't see anything, but it is kinda hard to see behind your teeth. So I kept with my normal dental routine and a few weeks later, "the kernal" had grown, only it wasn't a kernal...it was a tooth.

So you see, my wisdom teeth all grew in without my evn knowing it. On my routine visit with my dentist, I asked if I should have them removed, and he told me that they all came in perfectly straight, and I could have them removed if I wanted to. I didn't, because I thought "more teeth for chewing".

The moral of this story is, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". But, if your wisdom teeth happen to grow in inpacted or anything but normal, it will push your other teeth and cause a problem and your dentist will recommend they be removed, especially if you have had braces, because their arrival may negate any previous orthodontic work.

Answer 5

Nothing would happen if they are growing in without any problems and straight. But if they are coming in sideways they can cause your teeth to shift and that's not good.

Answer 6

NOTHING . WHY MEDDLE WITH THEM IF THEY ARE NOT CAUSING ANY TROUBLE
