right when they're starting to grow?

You can get your wisdom teeth pulled as young as 16. They dont have to be out, an oral surgeon can cut into your gum and take them out. There is actually a few less complications with that then when they are completely out and then you have to have them pulled. You should have your wisdom teeth out right away because if you let them grow all the way out they can crowd your teeth and make them crooked or can be uncomfortable only if they are growing in at an angle. The sooner the better.

You should always have your wisdom teeth extracted because most people do not have a large enough jaw to support them so it causes your teeth to shift and move. They are also so far back that it is hard to keep them clean so they can get infected alot easier.

usually peoples mouths have adapted and become smaller so our mouths neither have use for them or can handle the extra cramed space. Front teeth with slowly shift and become crooked. If your dentist insists them to come out i would listen. I had mine removed and even though myself blew up to the size of a 200 lb woman it only lasted for a week and a month you're completely back to normal.

Only if they are really causing you some serious problems. Otherwise the current belief seems to be just leave them alone. I had mine out, but mine were causing problems. If they aren't I see no need to suffer the extra pain of having them removed. However, in each individual case it is best to consult an expert - ask your dentist - you may or may not need to have them removed, and it is impossible to tell via Y! A.

Some people don't need their wisdom teeth pulled. But if they bother you alot, ask your dentist, she want they have to say about it.

If it is causing a problem or you foresee an issue later on, pull them out. I had mine pulled/ cut out because they would have crowded my mouth. It was a little painful and definitely put a dent in my parent's pockets but I am thankful now.

Only if it's necessary. Some people don't have room in their mouth for them and others do. Only your dentist can tell if there is room for them.

you can. sometimes they force your other teeth and cause crowding. It nearly impossible to brush them and take care of them so far back so save yourself trouble and get em yanked
