Has anyone else not have had their wisdom teeth pulled?

I had the left ones out when I was young. They were impacted. The right ones I kept for years. I didn't have any problems for a long time, but eventually they became a trap for food and germs. My gums were always inflamed. Once they were out, the gums healed. I think that's one of the reasons that we are encouraged not to keep them because the problems I had were not uncommon. If they aren't causing you any problems, leave well enough alone. Another thing I've heard before is that hygienists hate them because they are difficult to clean around. LOL

Consider yourself lucky. Wisdom teeth are quite painful, and most of us have had them pulled out.

I had all mine till recently i had two upper molars removed due to cavities

My wisdom teeth didn't bother me and they were all facing horizontal in my mouth when you looked at the xrays. I got them pulled last year. It was a
horrible experience, I didn't recover until a week afterwards and couldn't open my mouth fully until at least two weeks after. 😭

It depends how big your mouth is. If there’s no overcrowding, you don’t have to remove your wisdom teeth.

Haven't had to get mine removed, it all depends on the person. How theirs grow in and if it impedes on other teeth.

I had mine out my senior year of high school. They broke my jaw doing so. You should feel lucky. I have had kidney stones too. They hurt far worse.

It depends on the person. I had to have four cut out as a surgical procedure. It took a few weeks to heal and I looked like a chipmunk with a mouth full of food. I've seen other people have them out like a regular tooth extraction.

I only have two.... They're growing in sideways but not hitting my other teeth. My dentist said I was fine with leaving them so I did.

I had mine pulled at 23....As long as they come in straight and they dont bother you no reason to pull them i guess

I had one pulled in my mid 30's. still have the other three.

I haven't had mine taken out. It all depends on the person's mouth.

Me. i Need all the wisdom I can get

Yes, it´s kind of odd.

You must be wise

You are so lucky. It was almost as bad as childbirth.

I had all 4 teeth pulled out at 19, due to being on my mom's insurance.
I had them pulled out on a Friday and had the weekend to recover.

thanks for the screen shot for my social sciences class.

I can see taking off 3 Days. It’s the bleeding and what you can’t eat that’s annoying.

I still have mine. They don't bother me at all. :)

Lol why do you need to miss work for 3 days for wisdom teeth removal. That’s bullshit.
I have my bottom ones but I’m not getting them pulled. They don’t extract them unless necessary

Me neither

so, how does that make him a clown mr. i am soo perfect i still have my wisdom teeth.


oh, sports fan, someone who has the brain capacity of trump.

Your wisdom teeth cam be impacted in your jaw and they may never surface totally normal.
