Oh sh*t those are really impacted down there.
Agreed you really need those out as they will only cause you increasing pain and problems.
You need your 7's for chewing and facial stability.
It will be tough especially if you have all 3 put at the same time. But it's essential to take the correct medication at regular intervals, to calm the swellings you can treat yourself to a little ice cream.
But if you smoke I urge you to desperately get some nicotine patches until it heals, dry socket is no joke.

I had my lower teeth removed together i looked like a chipmunk.
The idiots didn't remove the upper ones so I had to do that on two separate occasions.
The problem with leave the top after removing the lowers is the top tooth has nothing to bite on so it slowly makes its way down...
That can cause infection due to food getting trapped...
Ugh.
Good luck buddy.

I don't envy you right now.

Ouch!

They couldn’t have left mine. They all came in the the tops facing forward and started pushing all my naturally straight teeth out of their way. They had to break them up before removing them. 17 pieces…. Recovery all without pain meds (they did put me out) cause I react. Nasty little things.

i had mine yanked out when the novacaine didn't set in 2" of bone ripped from my gums and jaw and almost broke my jaw when it happened because my jawbone on the right side was thinner then the left which was a lot thicker no now my right side of my face is slightly deformed because of it

I still do. When I was in high school they told me I needed to have them pulled. Didn't go back to the dentist until I was 30 because I didn't have insurance. Not once since I started going to the dentist again have they mentioned my wisdom teeth.

musicbrain5 · Answer

I had mine out when I was about 18 or so. They were so badly impacted and forged into my jaw bones. I had to have them removed at the hospital and not the dentist office, because I needed general anesthesia. They drilled parts of my jaw to get the teeth out.

Sour-rose · Answer

Me. Not all of them. First one, first pain of tooth pain I encountered. Then the second one turned black because I'm a dumbass and didn't take care of my teeth as much because dumbass.

By black, i mean decayed. :( worse than the wisdom tooth itself.

I got one out because it broke in half while I was eating a cracker. Lucky for me it happened at work and my great coworkers helped get me through it. It too three people to help because I had no family to help me, and I lived 20 miles away and was unable to drive. So, it took a caravan to get it all done and get me all tucked in my beddy bye.

Me. Too expensive to remove them. Last year my mom said it was either that or my Invisalign. Sadly I chose the invisalign even though the pain in my wisdom teeth were at its all time high. (She paid, thats why she had a say)

hellfirec · Answer

I had to get the right upper and lower removed in the last month. I feel so comfortable without having them. So I asked my dentist to remove the left sides also. But he denied and said why would you want to remove the good teeth?🤷🏻‍♀️

Smashingdoozy · Answer

Still have mine, supposed to get them out as apparently I have cysts underneath, but they're yet to bother me and it's super risky as my nerves are very close to the tooth.

Dinklex3 · Answer

Had them surgically removed at 17. Said my mouth couldn't fit them.

bolverk · Answer

Still have mine, in the UK it is common for the 4 molars in front of the wisdom teeth to be removed to allow the wisdom teeth the room to come in.

I don't. I had to remove all of them in my early 20s when I used braces.
