wisdom teeth

[ktheodos]

How many people have had their wisdom teeth removed?? If so, how old were you when you did?

Believe it or not, me and my younger sister are the only one's in our family that haven't developed wisdom teeth (yet). I'm in my late twenties and my sister is in her mid twenties...I don't even feel them coming in or anything. I just hope to God that I never develop any or else my teeth will get pushed out of line. There's hardly any room in my mouth now.

i think i was in my thirties....was in the army and my company was going to the field. it was muddy and raining and i didnt want to go, so i elected to have my wisdom teeth removed. they had to cut them out and stitch up my gums. i got infected and it was awful
i would rather have gone to the field and played in the mud!

I got my top wisdom teeth out when I was 23. I just got my bottom ones out about a year ago. They were completely sideways. The place I went puts you under anesthesia when you get your wisdom teeth out so it was a great experience, especially since I didn't know what happened!

I still have my wisdom teeth.

I had all 4 removed when I was 15 via lidocaine, wasn't too bad.

i had 2 (top right and bottom left) grow in when i was 18 and pregnany with my son. i did not want them removed til after he was born and by then they weren't bothering me so i did not get them removed until i was 24. the other 2 came in when i was pregnant with my daughter, and have not bothered me since so i still have them

I had mine removed many years ago and glad i did as they can be such a problem when you get older.

had mine pulled when I was 28 and had to be put to sleep to extract them.

I have 3 out of 4 of my wisdom teeth. My top left one hasn't come in yet.

I only had 3 wisdom teeth and I had them pulled out ( OUCH!!!!) when I was around 24.   My son just had all 4 of his cut out about 3 months ago at the age of 26.

I had mine out when I was about 27.  They weren't bothering me too much they'd pop up once in a while and give me a little pain then disappear for a bit then come back again.I had a hard time with them my chin was numb for the longest time I was so scared I had permanent nerve damage and I developed an allergy to penicillin where I wasn't allergic before because I was taking this medication to prevent infection.  It's better to have them out then you are younger, less problems.

I had two wisdom teeth out in my early 20's just using novicane. It wasn't to bad. I still have the other two.
