Wisdom Teeth?

Well I am 36 and all 4 of my wisdom teeth are in perfectly. All four have had some fillings over the years.


Well the dentist said they bottom two have cavities along the gum line that are un fillable. He suggested the bottom 2 be removed for sure and said I may want to consider the removing the tops also.





The question is if I decide to get them removed (I may just take a wait and see position) should I do all 4 at one time or just take the problem ones?

Wisdom Teeth?
I would get it done with all at one time. They're just extra teeth straight or not and can cause other issues as you age. Since they're straight recovery might not be so bad for you. They should not have to be so aggressive to remove them.
Reply:all 4 of them at once
Reply:do all 4 at once. It will be cheaper, and you will only have to heal once.
Reply:all 4......if you only take out the problems and the tops need to be taken out later, it would be more comfortable for you only to need them out once, also it might feel like you have an imbalence in your mouth if you only get 2 taken out.
Reply:just get rid of all four at once, it'll be cheaper in the long run. And obviously you're having a tough time cleaning them (which a lot of people do, because of the position of the teeth), so it's better to get rid of the the nastiness now before the cavities get worse and cause nerve damage.
Reply:well i had 1 top and 1 bottom taken out when i was 15 and it was worse then top or bottom done at different times
Reply:I would do all 4 at once. It is just easier since you will need a day or so to get over it. They also advise you to keep cool and not do too much physical activity. Just do all four and take a few days!!1
Reply:It's definitely a good idea to have all four removed at the same time. Wisdom teeth really don't serve a purpose, unless you're missing some of your other molar teeth. The fact is, it's hard to do a good job of keeping them clean way back there, and so they are prone to decay. Plus, the older you get, the greater the chances of post-op complications if you do have to get them removed. Plus, if you're getting them done at a specialist's office(with IV sedation and the whole nine yards), it's cheaper to do them all in one shot.

Wisdom teeth are third molars that usually appear between the ages of 18 and 20 (although they may appear when older, younger, or fail to appear at all). They are called "wisdom teeth" because they appear so late—much later than the other teeth, at an age where people are supposedly wiser than as a child, when the other teeth erupt. Often they need to be removed when they impact against other teeth—colloquially known as "coming in sideways."





Wisdom teeth are often impacted, meaning they are covered by soft tissue (gums), hard tissue (bone) or both. Just as with any extraction, once teeth are removed, the body starts the process of healing the extraction site, via inflammation (sending cells, nutrients and proteins to the site of the wound) and wound healing (organizing all those things into a matrix and eventually filling in the socket). Unfortunately, inflammation hurts, and that's why there's ibuprofen- over the counter is fine, but usually your dentist will give you something stronger (by prescription).


If the teeth are in your mouth (erupted), the surgical procedure will go more smoothly (most of the time), than if they are impacted, in which case more gum tissue has to be pushed around, and possibly some bone removed to get the teeth out. One last thing about 3rd molars- they are like the wild cards of molars. They can tilt all different ways, and have roots that twist in different directions. Bottom line- the more hard and soft tissue (bone and gums) that have to be disturbed to remove the tooth, the more complicated the surgery, the more healing there is, and the more pain. Make sure you ask your dentist for pain meds that are appropriate for the level of impaction that the wisdom teeth had.
