    Ask your dentist because it could be infected. Also you will feel so much better and have less stress if you get it over with! xoxo

    You should probably get them out ASAP because it could get infected and if it's causing you that much pain then it needs to come out!! Plus, if you wait and it starts coming in, it will screw up the alignment of your teeth. I got mine out almost 3 years ago and it was a breeze :) Nothing to be afraid of!

    Just have it extracted, it's not that big a deal. I had all 4 of mine done in one sitting. I was out of work 1 day. If given a choice of being put completely under with anesthesia or only a local, go with the local. For some reason being put completely under extends the healing period by 4-5 days.

    You definitely want to at least get it checked out, I had all 4 surgically removed...the root of one was extremely close to a nerve, and could have caused damage if it would have touch it......
    I really don't even remember the procedure, it was so not as horrid as everyone was making it out to be, and I went back to work 2 days later, so you could even maybe have it scheduled on a Friday, and recover over the weekend...

    I had one pulled. You are better off getting it pulled. IT WILL COME BACK! The tooth fairy is not going to ease your pain. :-) I hate going to the dentist. Hope you get better.

    Getting wisdom teeth pulled takes an hour max.

    Take it out now. Have your appointment on a Friday and you will be ok to go back to work on Monday. It's not worth suffering over.

    You need to get an panorex x-ray to see the position of the teeth. If you have enough room to let them grow in, no problem. But, if you are like the majority of people, you don't have enough room and they may be positioned so that when they do grow in they can cause crowding to you other teeth (they will literally start moving all your other teeth forward, not pretty). Get the x-ray, your DDS will determine the best course of action.

    GO NOW to your dentist. You probably need them pulled. Don't hold off! I just took my 22 yr old daughter yesterday and she had all 4 pulled! Good luck to you!

    That's what I did. Make your appointment for first thing Friday morning and you'll be good to go by Monday.

    I did not have local anesthetic, they put me completely out and I was still fine by Monday.

    I have a needle phobia--- really bad it just creeps me out I dont think they hurt but I hate IV's...haha its kind of sad that is one of the biggest thing holding me off, when I was pregnant with my daughter I didnt even want to go to labor and delivery because of the IV and had huge panic attacks over it..I dont have the panic attacks over going for that stuff anymore its just when im there I freak out...Im trying to ease my mind by accepting I will have to get them out..(They wanted me to get them out like 3 years ago but I had turned 18 and said no even though my parents were going for it) thats when they started coming out..but now they are actually coming out I can see it..Im a fulltime college student and I have two kids and work part time..Im falling behind in my classes and now actually catching up..and improving! Ive been sick with the stomach flu and just horrible colds and been run down but just this week the tooth has been a huge pain...Do you think it would be possible to wait until December at least? As I have winter break then? Im really terrified..Ive heard of people having to have there jaw broke and stuff and yeah it scares me...I guess talking about it is making me less scared though..Haha im a huge baby when it comes to this stuff and I know it!!! But I really want to get healthy with weight loss and stuff...and if wisdom teeth getting infected can make you sick I dont want that either..cuz I have two little kids to be there for..

    Wow, where I live no one gets theirs pulled unless it's a serious problem (v. rare)!
    Go to a dentist and have a check up, only get it pulled if 100% necessary!
    Best of luck sweetie!
