Wisdom teeth?

I'm 15. My dentist says my jaws are small and won't grow anymore, so the wisdom teeth must go away. The problem is they actually haven't grown yet and are still in the bone, not visible at all, so they have to be just cut out (can't find better expression:). I'd like to ask what does this "operation" looks like? Is there a dentist who could answer my question? Or has anyone experienced this? I'm seeing dentist cause of this soon and am terribly worried about it... HEEELP! :)

Wisdom teeth?
im 15 and i just got my wisdom teeth out a couple of weeks ago. i was so scared! but it really wasn't that bad. the night before, i had to use a special mouthwash and not eat or drink anything past midnight. we showed up and they asked if i had any questions then they put an iv in me and put some pain killer and some stuff that knocked my out. i don't remember anything. i woke up and we left. my entire mouth was numb and it was really annoying. i just went home and slept. you are sore for like a week then you are done. they stitch the holes up in your mouth and the stitches disolve within the next two weeks. i think most places make you clean the holes outwith a syringe fille with warm water once the stitches are gone and swish with special mouth wash they give you. at first use an ice pack on the outside of your mouth, it really helps, then after 7 days start using a heat pack. it really isn't that bad. you get to eat lots of ice cream and watch lots of movies and everyone does stuff for you.
Reply:I had my wisdom teeth removed the same way at the same age. They basically make a small slit in your gum and exract the teeth...then stich it up!! It is a really common procedure and their is nothing to be worried about. The pain is really bad afterwords but they will give you medication and if you follow all the directions for cleaning and stay away from smoking and straws you won't get dry sockets.
Reply:They get cut of the gums. I had it done at 15 as well. It hurts like hell, but after about 10 days the pain is gone. You get put under so you don't know what is going on. They make a small incision in your gums and chip/take the wisdom teeth out. It was better than messing up my newly fixed bracelss teeth. And today my smile is straight. Don't worry about it, it is a routine surgery now for those of us with small jaws. It 's a pain in the butt, but it will be a good thing for your mouth.
Reply:Yes they are called "impacted." No big deal. I had all of mine surgically removed at one time. The oral surgeon will put you to sleep and cut the gum and remove them. Sew you back up. You'll be on an antibiotic for about 7-10 days and some pain meds. Almost everyone has their wisdom teeth removed so don't worry. You aren't going to be awake for it.
Reply:well, they put you to sleep or heavily sedate you (they give you the choice usually) and then they go in, make an incision, and pull the teeth out. Then they'll put a bunch of gauze in your mouth to absorb the blood, give you pain medication, and your on your way. Its hard to eat solid food for a few days, but it isn't that bad.
Reply:I am a lot older than you are and mine are growing in sideways because I did not take them out when recommended. I have to deal with a lot of pain and am also scared. I feel for you. Do it while you are young and can bounce back quicker.
Reply:My jaws are small too. But they removed my wisdom teeth when they grew. They grew little, so they had to cut out a bit too. Anyway, if you can take the anesthesia (kinda scary), that's all, you don't feel pain after wards. Nothing of the other world, don't worry
Reply:I was 15 when I had my wisdom teeth cut out (for lack of better phrase), I don't remember much about it, since the put me out, I do remember that I had to eat soft foods for the next week or so. But I also remember that when I was healed up, I felt better, my gums werent as sore as they were when my teeth was trying to come in.
Reply:I had my wisdom teeth out when I was 18. They put me under, made incisions, and extracted them. In my case, they did not sew them back up. They gave me a little syringe with a curved tip to fill with water and flush out the "pits" of any food that would get back there. The pain is fairly intense, but I'm sure they'll provide you with a prescription for a yummy narcotic like vicodin (hydrocodone). You'll be told to avoid straws and cigarettes becuse when you "suck" on things, it can pull out the little blood clots that are forming on your wounds, which of course prevents healing. You'll have puffy cheeks for a couple of days and some pretty foul breath! But then you'll heal up just fine and you'll be glad you had them out. It probably takes about 2 -3 weeks to heal up completely.
Reply:you will probably be put to sleep for that. maybe get a second opinion. I was told my wisdom teeth needed to be removed when i was 13 but I never did what they said. they eventually recently started coming in a little then they seemed to stop cause I'm very small and have a small jaw/mouth





but i have been told by a few dentists if they aren't removed one day an infection could develop.





my mom has all her wisdom teeth and my boyfriend has all his wisdom teeth still so i dont know





It doesn't really sound like it's an emergency situation. So take your time and think about it and maybe see a few more dentists. but every single dentist ALWAYS wants to take them out when people are young
Reply:I had that done, it's nothing they usually put you to sleep for it anyway
Reply:I had my wisdom teeth out after they had fully grown in... They didn't need stitches just a local anesthetic. It's probably different from you'll experience though because they are still beneath the gums.





To take mine out, it felt like all they had to do was break up the tooth, apply a lot of pressure (bent it one way then the other) and then yanked them out.





I was 26 when they pulled them out.
