when wisdom teeth grow correctly there is no reason for extraction, but most of the times this ones grow in malposition, with infection, and the pain is great.

wisdom teeth, a big contreversy in dentistry. when i was a general dentist i would recomend taking them out only if they were hard to reach and clean well. taking wisdom teeth out because they will cause teeth shifting in wrong, a study have been done and shown that even if you surgicaly remove wisdom teeth before they erupt, crowding will allways happen. this mean that our jaw genetics are made in a way to move forward to alow a space to the wisdom to come out. not the old theory of wisdom teeth push the front teeth. the other resons is wisdom teeth like to be in a biting situation that interfere with the jaw sliding left to right, causing an interferance in the back and leading to TMJ disorders. i got mine taking out because of the interference and because i could not keep them clean and i am adentist.

Wisdom teeth are getting infected extremely easy and crowd the other teeth.
Anyway, if you don't have any problem (infections, etc), my advise is not take them out. Its very painful and its a little more difficult then taking out any other tooth because their root has a "special construction".

pain!!!


Is that so...?

Because if they come in and there is not enough room for them then they will mess up your other teeth.

They get impacted, keep getting infected or crowd other teeth. I got mine out because one kept getting infected. I decided to have them all out while I was getting the one done.

Some Pro's of Removing a Wisdom Tooth:

* Wisdom teeth may be hard to access with your toothbrush or floss. Over time, the accumulation of bacteria, sugars and acids may cause a cavity to form in the tooth. If it is not restored with a filling, the cavity may spread and destroy more tooth structure causing severe consequences to the tooth and surrounding supportive structures.

* Due to the difficulty of keeping these teeth clean with your daily home care (brushing and flossing), bacteria and food debris remaining on the wisdom teeth may present a foul smell-causing bad breath.

* A wisdom tooth that is still under the gums in a horizontal position (rather than a vertical position) may exert pressure to the surrounding teeth, causing crowding and crooked teeth. This also may occur if there is not enough space in the mouth for the wisdom tooth. This may warrant braces to repair the damage.

* A wisdom tooth that is still under the gums may become irritated. The gum tissue that lays over the tooth may harbor food debris and bacteria that gets trapped under the gum, resulting in an infection in the gums.

Some Con's of Removing the Wisdom Teeth:

* Depending on the size shape and position of the tooth, removal can vary from a simple extraction to a more complex extraction. With a simple extraction, there is usually little swelling, bruising and/or bleeding. More complex extraction will require special treatment which may result in more bruising, swelling and bleeding. However, your dental professional will provide you with post treatment instructions to minimize these side effects.

* Following an extraction, a condition called "dry socket" may occur. If the blood clot that formed in the extraction area becomes dislodged, it exposes the underlying bone. This condition is very painful, but resolves after a few days. It is preventable by following the post treatment instructions provided by your dental professional.

* The longer you wait and the older you get, there is the potential for more problems to occur. This is because as you get older, the bone surrounding the tooth becomes more dense, making the tooth more difficult to remove. The healing process may also be slower.

Mine have all developed cavities because they're too far back in my mouth to keep clean properly. I had two filled a few years ago, but they've got decayed again, and the other two have now developed cavities as well. My dentist has recommended that I just get them extracted now, because I obviously can't keep them clean and they're always going to get cavities, and I don't use them for chewing or anything anyway.

It hurts like hell when they grow.

Some people don't have to take them out. Most of them do. But the reason is, is because they can, and mostly will, affect the alignment of your teeth. And they are usually HUGE so they pretty much make room for themselves not giving a **** about your teeth haha

Unless they cause pain, discomfort or some other problem I don't believe there is any reason to remove them. I only had two wisdom teeth come in. They are on my bottom row of teeth. My dentist told me that was not unusual. Some people get all four, some two, etc. They are useless to me because they are partially covered by my gums, however they have never caused be any problems so my dentist saw no reason to remove them. I'm 50.

What are the main reasons for taking wisdom teeth out?

1. When it is clear that the wisdom teeth will be able to come through into a useful position because there is not enough room, and when they are also causing some pain or discomfort.

2. If they have only partially come through and are decayed – such teeth will often be susceptible to decay as it will be difficult to clean them as thoroughly as your other teeth.

3. If the wisdom tooth is causing a cleaning problem and has no real use.

4. If a wisdom tooth starts to “over-grow”.

This often happens if the lower one has already been removed or is impacted and cannot come through. The upper one will come down too far, looking for a tooth to make contact with and the upper one has no tooth to bite against.

5. If they are painful.

Are wisdom teeth difficult to take out? It all depends on the position and the shape of the roots. Your dentist will advise you as to how easy or difficult each tooth will be to remove after looking at the x-rays. Upper wisdom teeth are often more straightforward to remove than the lower ones which are more likely to be impacted. Your dentist will advise you whether the tooth should be taken out at a dental practice, or whether you should be referred to a specialist (oral surgeon) at a hospital. Very occasionally there is a possibility of some numbness of the lip after the removal of a lower tooth – your dentist will tell you if it is possible in your case.
