I have grown two wisdom teeth, one started growing four years ago and the other one year ago. My wisdom teeth's growth is difficult. The first one always caused gum inflammation. It's so painful. However, it couldn't come out during one year. The dentist said it was a impacted tooth and best to remove it. It was a terrible experience. And now, the second wisdom tooth causes my gum inflammation. I have to see my dentist again and remove it. Oh, my god!

My wisdom teeth were removed when I was fifteen years old. They say when they come out early its better if you wait till you are older it is worse. I had all 4 taken out at once thankfully they knocked me out.

Thats what I have heard from a lot of people that its terrible when your older. My brother which is 4 years younger than me I am 32 now just recently a few months was having problems with his. My mom had hers out when she was young also.

In the past I had four wisdom teeth. And I felt bad when they were growing. Finally three of them were pulled out and it's a bad experience. Right now there is one wisdom tooth left. If it's not necessary, I don't want to pull it out.
I love China

i used to have wisdom teeth, all four of them. the two upper ones started growing together. they squeezed the rest of my teeth together. i only realised they were growing when my upp teeth started to bled. thankfully all was needed is a simple extraction. a few years later, the lower ones started to grow together. same thing happened, all my lower teeth started to bled. i had them extracted as well so now i am without any wisdom.

I got three of my wisdom teeth removed in the span of ten days - this happened last year on my final year in college. It was hell. My mouth became infected because it was so painful to move around properly so that was another plus.
I hope you get yours done as soon as you can to avoid any more misery.
Thanks for the response on my discussion!

Really? when my wisdom tooth was coming out, it was really painful for me too, but then it hadn't been since it came out already. I think in your case, the tooth hadn't grown in the right direction so it caused you so much pain. But I hope you do get better :)

YES !!I can understand your pain. My grandma told me that if the wisdom teeth grow out before you are 18 it won't hurt. Unfortunately my wisdom teeth began to grow after i was 20. So it hurt a lot and i even can't eat hard things. It really is a painful experience!
