wots the reason we have wisdom teeth

Answer 1

Just because you have wisdom teeth doesn't mean you will have to have them taken out. They can be very painful if they are growing the wrong way though, and having them out is much easier than suffering with toothache everyday!! Go to your dentist, it won't be as bad as you think.

Answer 2

Okay, I had to get my wisdom teeth pulled. Another time, I also had two of my major molars pulled, WHILE I was pregnant. So that means I could not have any pain meds. But, with the wisdom tooth, I did have pain meds. And they really help. Yes, it does bleed. But for only the first 2 hours, if even and not a lot! And, you will have gauze in your mouth. As for the stitches, you do not feel them and they dissolve in your mouth. Definately get the teeth out though. The pain of them being impacted is MUCH MUCH MUCH more worse than getting them removed! Also, there is no guarentee that you will even get stitches. On one of my wisdom teeth, I did not even feel anything, he pulled the tooth in one pull and I was out of there in 15 minutes. Also, you should get antibiotics to prevent invection. Make sure you get that and the pain meds and you will be fine. After about a week, you wont even remember the feeling. You will just be able to eat and live without pain! Good luck and do not listen to your cousin!

Answer 3

Wisdom teeth, hurt sooo much more than going to the dentist. The dentist will numb your mouth to remove them, it takes about 5-7 days to recover but that's way better than walking around in pain while your wisdom teeth grow.

Answer 4

See a dentist!
Wisdom teeth are third molars that usually appear between the ages of 18 and 20 (although they may appear when older, younger, or fail to appear at all). They are called "wisdom teeth" because they appear so late—much later than the other teeth, at an age where people are supposedly wiser than as a child, when the other teeth erupt. Often they need to be removed when they impact against other teeth—colloquially known as "coming in sideways."

Wisdom teeth are often impacted, meaning they are covered by soft tissue (gums), hard tissue (bone) or both. Just as with any extraction, once teeth are removed, the body starts the process of healing the extraction site, via inflammation (sending cells, nutrients and proteins to the site of the wound) and wound healing (organizing all those things into a matrix and eventually filling in the socket). Unfortunately, inflammation hurts, and that's why there's ibuprofen- over the counter is fine, but usually your dentist will give you something stronger (by prescription).
If the teeth are in your mouth (erupted), the surgical procedure will go more smoothly (most of the time), than if they are impacted, in which case more gum tissue has to be pushed around, and possibly some bone removed to get the teeth out. One last thing about 3rd molars- they are like the wild cards of molars. They can tilt all different ways, and have roots that twist in different directions. Bottom line- the more hard and soft tissue (bone and gums) that have to be disturbed to remove the tooth, the more complicated the surgery, the more healing there is, and the more pain. Make sure you ask your dentist for pain meds that are appropriate for the level of impaction that the wisdom teeth had.

Answer 5

Do not worry, usually the pain is relieved by medications, and your mouth is amazing and heals faster then any other part of the body. I had them out and their were no complications. You just rest and eat ice cream and soups and avoid sucking out of a straws or cigarettes to prevent the clot forming over the cut to come out. I think that the reason we have them is b/c back when we were caveman, we needed the back of our teeth to eat the rough meats that we caught. But with evolution we have the ability to cut our pieces with forks and knifes so we don't need wisdom teeth anymore. Sometimes they can grow in with no problem but most of the time they push the teeth already there and cause more pain. Don't worry you will feel better withing 2-7 days.

Answer 6

When I got my wisdom teeth out, I took a valium about 2 hours before my appointment and I basically didn't care about anything that was going on when I got there. It is supposed to relax you so you could care less about what was going on around you. They do put an IV in your arm to knock you out but trust me you won't even know they are doing it. You'll wake up and your mouth will be numb so you won't feel a thing. Your dentist should prescribe you some pain killers afterwards, but just keep putting ice around your mouth. I didn't have any pain after I got mine out so you don't have anything to worry about. It's not that big of a deal to get them out.

Answer 7

Sounds like it is past time for a dental checkup. Tell the dentist you are scared. At the first appointment the dentist will only look everything over and say what needs to be done. He will tell you what to expect. The worst part of being afraid is not knowing.

Answer 8

I had all four of mine taken out a few years ago and it's didn't hurt at all. They put me to sleep and I don't remember anything about the procedure. After there was a lot of bleeding, but it stops within an hour or so, and they give you meds for the pain. It's not bad. Just can't really eat solid foods for a few days.

Answer 9

I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth pulled and it didn't hurt that bad. They give you good meds to make sure of that. If they hurt then you need to get them out because the pain will only get worse and won't go away.

Answer 10

Hi, I'm not sure I understand- do you have to have your wisdom teeth out??? if so then it willbe abit uncomfortable but as much as if you leave them in.
Also tell the dentist youare scared( many people are- me included) and they can help you cope with the fear-
Good luck
