i'm almost 18 and i haven't got my wisdom teeth in. is that a problem?
Wisdom teeth???
not really. Maybe you do have them but they don't hurt like most peoples.
Reply:they dont always come in, but thats normal. it only matters if you're getting them pulled
Reply:Not really a problem... we're each time closer to not have them any more...
anyway you should get some x-rays on it, to see if they are there... coming down or smth.
Kiss!
Reply:Some people have enough space in their jaw, My brother is pretty tall and never had to get his out. But me an my husband both have.
Only your Dentist can tell you.
Reply:No and yes. Wisdom teeth come in anywhere from 17-25 years of age. However, if they are impacted into other teeth or bone and will never erupt and need to be removed to prevent damage to other teeth or tumors that can develop over long periods of time if the impacted teeth are left. Have your dentist check them to see where they are.

Wisdom Teeth?
I just got my wisdom teeth taken out Yesterday mroning, I had surgrey yesterday mroning and I'm all swell up and things. How long it's gonna go away! I had all for taken out of my gums.
Wisdom Teeth?
I know! It hurts really bad when the pain medicine wears off. It'll stay swollen for a long time. I remember how my face looked like a watermelon because I swelled up so much. Just drink lots of milkshakes.
Reply:It will take a couple weeks, your mouth will go down before your stitches fall out.
Reply:I had all four out too. It took around a week for the swelling to go. :)
Reply:maybe a few days
Reply:I had 3 taken out last summer. With the ice thing they gave me, it only took about 2 days for the swelling to go down and 3 for most of the pain to go away. However, the bruising on my cheeks lasted for like a week.
Reply:Poor you, it takes a few days for the swelling to go down. Full sympathy, it's one of the worst pains you can have, I know I had all mine out at the same time.
You will feel back to normal within about 10 days, hope you feel better soon :-)
Reply:i had the same thing happen to me i got all four pulled out and it hurts. As for the swelling it depends on hour your body reacts to the procedure ... it took me about four/five days
Reply:I've heard of it lasting a few days, but any more than 3 or 4 days and you should call your dentist
Reply:I just got mine removed last month~ all 5!!! I had one buryed in my jaw! and it only took a couple days! Do ice packs on your face if you can stand it!!!!!! but-- really it dont take long! It will be over before you know it! That and Ibprophen.. its an anti-inflamitory! it will help with swelling and pain! (ask a Dr. First to make sure, dont want to make you sick if you cant take it and follow as perscribed on container/dr bottle, you can get it otc and from a DR.)
well, Unless you got an infection going on.. u got puss or anything commin out of the stiches or anything?? If you got that GO BACK to your dentist and they will give you an antibiotic to clear it up! and that will depend on when you get there and get the drug into your system!!!
Reply:If you had taken prophylactic antibiotics prior to the surgery, the swelling should go away within a day or two.
Reply:i had all four taken out at one time and it was so that i chewed a vicodin every 4-6 hours . it was more than a week before i started to feel better
Reply:Gargle with salt-water, it sounds crazy but you will be thankful for it later, trust me. No cigarettes, no straws, no alcohol and no hard candy for at least two weeks.

Wisdom teeth?
I have
methylprednlsolone so decrease the swelling after I had my wisdom teeth removed. Does anyone know wether or not this is a chewable pill or a swalloble?
Wisdom teeth?
This is a really strong medication for just having your wisdom teeth out. Let me make sure I have the correct drug...methylprednisolone...is that right? Ok...anyway...You should swallow this pill whole and with a meal. I know it's hard to eat after having wisdom teeth out (I've been there), but even if it's mashed potatoes or macaroni and cheese, you need food on your stomach when taking this med. Also do not change dose or schedule or stop taking drug; must taper off gradually under medical supervision.
Reply:I would assume swallowable b/c you def cant chew after you get your wisdom teeth out and I am sure your dentist is aware of that and wouldnt give you something to chew.

My wisdom teeth are growing in. What should I be expecting?
Wisdom teeth?
Well if you are lucky they will come through with no problem. Mine came through, but being as they were crowded they were hard to brush so I got cavities in two of them. Instead of having the cavities filled, I just had them pulled. Having them pulled is no problem at all, all I ever had to do was I took two asprins right after and that was it, hardley any pain at all. If they are too crowded and the become impacted then they will have to remove them surgically, which is quite a bit more painfull.
Reply:pain..and ur teeth adjusting...
Reply:PAIN!!!!! I am going and getting mine pulled in 2 hours!!!! They hurt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!... but thats just me! it doesn't bother some people
Reply:Teething pain just like a baby. Watch to make sure they come in straight and don't push your other teeth out of line. If they some in on a weird angle you will probably have to have them pulled.
Reply:Have you ever seen a child teething? You will experience the same things. Lots of aggravation, pain and your other teeth repositioning. Your dentist may take them out sooner if they are causing you to much pain.
Reply:soreness and pain,sometimes the dentist think it best to remove them. one of mine was cutting into my jaw and he removed it. get you some oral jell that will help some.
Reply:When you cut your wisdom teeth, you can expect some discomfort. Not only from the tooth coming throught the gums, but also from the shifting of your teeth. Some people have enough room in their mouths to keep their wisdom teeth, but most have them removed.
Reply:pain and discomfort..you're probably going to have to have them pulled..most people don't keep theirs because they don't grow in straight and they knock your other teeth out of line...

Wisdom teeth?
how does the whole process of getting your wisdom teeth taken out go? how long do your gums hurt after you get them removed? does your face swell, if so, for how long? how long is your face bruised and how long does it take for them to start healing? do they put you to sleep or just numb you a lot? im getting mine taken out soon and im kind of worried about it. thanks.
Wisdom teeth?
1. Allow a couple days to heal up....A week max for all my swelling to go down.
2. Gums were tender to touch and while eating about that long too.
3. Only one side of my face swelled up..I had some swelling underneath the bone or something, I had to go on antibiotics but it wasnt that bad, I just had a lump above my jaw and some tenderness underneath....not dry socket..which is an infection and much worse
4. You could be feeling better in just a couple days.
5. They don%26#039;t put you to sleep, just numb the area /extraction site. You take a medication the night before and the day of too, to make you sleepy and take away pain.
6. You should not drive while under medication, or eat a heavy meal the day of your surgery
Reply:I just had two of mine cut out (taken out)... I am 38, was put to sleep for about 45- minutes... with iv sedation. No pain, and I was eating supper that night.. and no pain with my wisdom teeth being removed. Dr was awesome!! No down time, your face does not swell.
Reply:If you are having them all removed at the same time they will likely put you under.
Face both swells and bruises. Swelling you are likely looking at 1 to 2 days. Bruising a week maybe.
For the gums to fully heal probably 1 month, maybe more.
Reply:It depends on your mouth structure and your dentist%26#039;s skill. They usually give local anaesthesia. From http://aches.in/wisdomteeth.html
Reply:They put you under usually not too much when I had mine taken out I woke up once, your gums hurt for about two weeks afterward and you have to eat soft food your cheeks do swell a bit but not much, they start healing immediately they put stitches of protein so they dissolve when your wounds are healed up they usually crush your teeth and take them out in pieces
Reply:Everyone reacts differently to this process. I had each side done at separate times. The one swelled up for a few days and hurt real bad. The other side hurt, but it was tolerable with motrin. I have never been put under anesthesia for any tooth extractions, and I have had a lot of my teeth removed(bad genetics). You might experience some swelling, probably pain for a couple days, the gums might also be sore. Not everyone bruises from it, I have never bruised. It usually takes a week or two to heal up. Good luck to ya.
Reply:i had mine out a few years ago - all the worry about the surgey was over nothing - i felt so much better - they were all impacted and hurt like heck -
anyway - they put you out for the surgery - i was sore for a few days - some swelling, and a really tiny bruise on one side - everyone heals different -
follow what they tell you to do - stock up on foods like pudding and jello, ice cream - avoid things that are hot like soup for a few days - and don%26#039;t suck anything up in a straw - both of these will bug the stitches.
take some tylenol - sack out on the couch or in bed and relax for a few days - get some rest - don%26#039;t worry so much -
hope all goes well -
Reply:i had all four of mine pulled at once, it wasnt as bad as i thought as a matter of fact i didnt feel a thing they numb you, my dentist wouldnt put me to sleep i dont think they do that anymore unless its major. the healing is a couple of days the worst part is after cause you cant eat anything the next day and your mouth is full of saliva and the tell you dont spit because somehow the spit help clothes the holes and preven infection, please dont spit my friend did and she had to go to the emergency room cause her face was so numb and she had gotten an ear infection. so basically a lot of swelling no bruises for me, but its not nearly as bad as you think. at least for me it wasnt. and the procedure is really fast!!
Reply:I had removed 2 wisdom teeth. The whole process depends on whether your wisdom teeth are impacted or not. One of my wisdom teeth was impacted (removing takes longer time in this case). Doctor doesnt put u to sleep, he uses local anesthetic, but it is your choice of the anesthesia that will be used, because i wanted to be put to sleep but then i changed my mind, of course i told them about it couple of days b4 (because it cost more). The healing process varies as well, it heals longer if you had impacted tooth. The stiches need to dissolve too, but you can use pain pills. Your face is swollen for 2 days or so, it isnt that much visible though, no problem. Numbing looks that doctor gives u many little injections around the teeth that are about to be removed, maybe 5 injections for each tooth (more injections for impacted one, because he needs to dig into the bone to get the crap out of there). You dont have to worry about anything because you feel nothing. I still think that i did very good removing those teeth, because in my case the impacted one was a bit infected (that was my idea, because my breath was bad, so it was my choice to remove it, but the other one was with huge cavity, needed canal treatment)
Reply:Well it all depends on the person having it done and the dentist.
You have a choice of being asleep or awake and just numb.
I have been swollen for 5 days now and still alittle brusied.
ALthough the pain for me began to decress after day 3 but still hurts some.
You will be fine, I was so upset about having mine out, I changed my appt twice before my hubby draged me into the office. you will be okay!
You will have a bad week then back to normal
Reply:hey i had all mine taken out a month ago it doesnt hurt at all your face swells for about a week it heals very fast you just kinda bleed alot. I was put to sleep for 30min. Dont worry about it you will be fine trust me!
Reply:My personal opinion is to have two---not all four---done at a time. Depending on your pain threshold, once the anesthetic wears off, you%26#039;ll be in pain, especially if you have all four done at the same time, or if any of your wisdom teeth are impacted. But the dentist will give you pain meds for this. Its been so many years since I had mine removed, but I don%26#039;t believe my face swelled,;definitely not bruised. I wasn%26#039;t asleep when mine were pulled. You%26#039;ll be fine!

Does wisdom teeth give any pain when it needs to be removed , because i have sore throat with red spots back of throat and i have to go like this alot hhhhhh,hhhhhhh,hhhhhhhh
Wisdom teeth?
More likely strep throat then wisdom teeth issues.
Reply:This sounds like an infection of the throat. Wisdom teeth ache around the jaw line and sometimes on the outside of the jaw, on the face. The pain comes and goes for some time before a dentist or oral surgeon will remove them, and then SURPRISE, they still ache even though absent.
Reply:THIS IS MOST DEFINATELY NOT A WISDOM TOOTH THAT WOULD MAKE YOUR THROAT SWELL AND HAVE BUMPS YOU HAVE AN INFECTION AND NEED TO GET TO A DOCTOR SO THEY CAN PRESCRIBE YOU AN ANTIBIOTIC

reccently i had all four of my wisdom teeth removed... i have had no pain at all and i have very very little swelling (only my gf could tell)... it is the 6th day and everything seemed as though it was going great (considering i had cheese coneys the first night and ate chips the second day)... but recently i looked in my mout at the stitches... all of the stitches were closed and were healing nicely execpt one... i have a gaping hole and i think that the stitching broke... has this ever happened to anybody and if so what do they dot o fix it...
please dont give a %26quot;go see a doctor answer%26quot; because i have an appointment on friday... i just want some other information
Wisdom teeth?
It could be a problem if there%26#039;s food caught in it. I%26#039;m glad you%26#039;re going to see the doc on Friday, so he or she can check it out for you.
Reply:There%26#039;s gonna be a hole there until it fills in with flesh. When I had mine out, the periodontist (or whatever) gave me this little syringy thing to squirt water in the hole to flush out the food particles and whatnot. I woundn%26#039;t worry about the hole but I would want the squirty thing. Ask your dentist for one.
Reply:Well you really should call the doctor%26#039;s office in the meantime. I had mine taken out a few moths ago, and all went well, the only suggestions I can make is to continue taking your antibiotics, and the doctor may give you this stuff to pack down the hole, I%26#039;m not sure what it%26#039;s called, but I will call my mom, and find out, then repost.
Reply:It sounds like broken stitches may be the case. As long as it isn%26#039;t giving you any discomfort, I would recommend that you just keep it clean and rinse the area often with warm salt-water (1 TBS salt to 1 C water) 4-5 times a day.
Reply:When i had my wisdom teeth removed I had no stitches because they were already fully in and there was no need to cut or go really deep into the gums. Are you sure that you had stitches for all of your teeth?
Is the open hole sore or more swollen then the others? If it is you need to see the doc today not friday...trust me you don%26#039;t want an infection to set in.
Reply:when i had all of my wisdom teeth removed all my stitches fell out the nest day...it will close up on its own!
Reply:when ever a tooth is pulled (especially one with long roots) you need to be very careful of dry socket. Make sure that there is a clot of blood in the opening to prevent this. I don%26#039;t think that the stitch being gone is of much concern especially when you are to see your dentist soon. Good luck
Reply:I used guaze(just ball it up and put it back there, change it every 4 hours) to help it keep from bleeding and to help it clot correctly
Reply:Stitches will pull when the gum starts to heal. Sometimes they will break. As long as you are not having any pain, swelling or tenderness in the stitch area, you should be just fine.
I recently had dental surgery that required stitches. My gum healed quickly and so tightly, that the stitch broke and I pulled it out myself. I just kept the area clean with brushing and rinsing before seeing my dentist for the follow-up. Everything worked out just fine.
Reply:I would just keep a close eye on it. Make sure it stay clean and i would avoid using a straw. One thing you absolutely don%26#039;t want is dry socket. Just keep it clean and show the dentist. They%26#039;re the ones who would know what to do.
Reply:If you are keeping it clean, you will probably be okay. It was probably the stuff you ate that caused the breakage...that is why they tell you to go easy for a while!
Glad you had no pain!
Reply:Mine looked like gapping holes forever after I got them done and the stitches were taken out. It was gross. I think you should be ok. just keep it clean and be very careful what you eat till you see your doctor. If it is expossed then you run a chance of Dry socket, and that (from which my husband tells me) is the most painfull thing that could happen.
So lay off the chips and crap untill you can get into the doctor.
Reply:You are doing all you can do until your appointment. Your doctor should have informed you to eat only soft foods and avoid using a straw in the first several days after your surgery. YOu probably broke your stitches by not following those guidelines. You make have to have an antibiotic to help keep down any infection and have new stitches.
Reply:I had dry socket, and it hurts like hell. That doesn%26#039;t sound like dry socket to me.
You%26#039;re really doing all you can do right now by rinsing your mouth with salt water and keeping it clean. The dr. can tell you more on Friday.
I had all four of mine taken out at once also. Only had one case of dry socket thankfully.
Reply:Did the dentist offer you post operative instructions? Cheese coneys and chips are not recommendid because they could have dislodged the blood clots from the surgical sites.

Is the open hole sore or more swollen then the others? If it is you need to see the doc today not friday...trust me you don%26#039;t want an infection to set in.
Reply:when i had all of my wisdom teeth removed all my stitches fell out the nest day...it will close up on its own!
Reply:when ever a tooth is pulled (especially one with long roots) you need to be very careful of dry socket. Make sure that there is a clot of blood in the opening to prevent this. I don%26#039;t think that the stitch being gone is of much concern especially when you are to see your dentist soon. Good luck
Reply:I used guaze(just ball it up and put it back there, change it every 4 hours) to help it keep from bleeding and to help it clot correctly
Reply:Stitches will pull when the gum starts to heal. Sometimes they will break. As long as you are not having any pain, swelling or tenderness in the stitch area, you should be just fine.
I recently had dental surgery that required stitches. My gum healed quickly and so tightly, that the stitch broke and I pulled it out myself. I just kept the area clean with brushing and rinsing before seeing my dentist for the follow-up. Everything worked out just fine.
Reply:I would just keep a close eye on it. Make sure it stay clean and i would avoid using a straw. One thing you absolutely don%26#039;t want is dry socket. Just keep it clean and show the dentist. They%26#039;re the ones who would know what to do.
Reply:If you are keeping it clean, you will probably be okay. It was probably the stuff you ate that caused the breakage...that is why they tell you to go easy for a while!
Glad you had no pain!
Reply:Mine looked like gapping holes forever after I got them done and the stitches were taken out. It was gross. I think you should be ok. just keep it clean and be very careful what you eat till you see your doctor. If it is expossed then you run a chance of Dry socket, and that (from which my husband tells me) is the most painfull thing that could happen.
So lay off the chips and crap untill you can get into the doctor.
Reply:You are doing all you can do until your appointment. Your doctor should have informed you to eat only soft foods and avoid using a straw in the first several days after your surgery. YOu probably broke your stitches by not following those guidelines. You make have to have an antibiotic to help keep down any infection and have new stitches.
Reply:I had dry socket, and it hurts like hell. That doesn%26#039;t sound like dry socket to me.
You%26#039;re really doing all you can do right now by rinsing your mouth with salt water and keeping it clean. The dr. can tell you more on Friday.
I had all four of mine taken out at once also. Only had one case of dry socket thankfully.
Reply:Did the dentist offer you post operative instructions? Cheese coneys and chips are not recommendid because they could have dislodged the blood clots from the surgical sites.
