Wisdom teeth?
ya its normal. whenever they erupt fully then let them extracted..
Reply:If you are really concerned about it, go to the dentist and tell them. They should be happy to do some x-rays and check it out. I'm thirteen and I will have to get mine out soon so they don't mess up my teeth. (i just got my braces off) Sometimes, you feel where they are supposed to come in, but they aren't far in enough to have removed or to cause concern. Some people never have their wisdom teeth removed. Again, check with your dentist and they will address your concerns. Good luck!
Reply:See your dentist. It sounds like they are just below the gums. They may or may not break through, depending on their position and how much room you have. Only a dentist can tell from xrays. The thing to know is that the sooner you have them extracted the better. You heal faster, plus, the longer they are there, they grow longer roots and become "more attached", so to speak. Most people don't have room for them.
