New wisdom teeth at age of 30!!?

Hi Besthope It is my understanding that is is not rare for someone not to have the wisdom tooth completely out until at least 25 years old. I was one of those that suffered since the age 20 through 27 before they had to be extracted. I went through a lot of swelling and pain. I was told that it was still yet to come out and that mine simply required more time. Sadly at age 27, I was going through a lot more swelling and a great deal of pain, so I went to see the dentist and it was found that the roots were wrapped in my jaw causing them not to grow out normal. So they had to dig them out. Ouch! But thereafter I never had a problem with them again. Thankfully!

I only have one wisdom tooth and it came when I was still a teener. It was really an awful experience. The pain and swelling gum. Now that I'm over 50 the other 3 did not come out. I guess these 3 teeth will not anymore come.

I feel sorry for the pain she is going through. I hate teeth pain worse than anything. I had my wisdom teeth taken out way before my 30's. I'm not sure if that is common or not with what your sister is going through.

Most people have wisdom teeth and some have to have them removed when they are young, (Mine was taken out when I was in my teens) and some don't have to have them out until they are older, like my husband was 28 when his was taken out.. Yet, did you know some people don't have all 4 wisdom teeth? People are jealous of my daughter, who when she went in and had to have a bad molar pulled, it turned out she only had 2 wisdom teeth and the one won't have to be removed because it will replace the molar she lost. So if she has any problems, she will only have 1 wisdom tooth pulled. I can't remember mine experience well, but my husband had all 4 removed and I won't sugar coat it, it was a nightmare. But that could have been him too, he always had problems with dentists, whereas I can go in for a root canal and have no problems, my husband can't even go in for a cleaning without some disaster.. So it depends on the patient and the dentist. If your sister has a really good dentist and has had no problems previously, then she shouldn't be too worried. Yes it won't be fun, but it doesn't have to be a nightmare either..

Wow that's awful news. I've met many people who had bad experiences with wisdom teeth, that's a bummer that she has to face her wisdom tooth once more. I am one of the lucky few who will never (hopefully) face those wisdom teeth. I've received X-rays and been confirmed that wisdom teeth are not part of my bone structure. I can only imagine her pain, but hopefully she can get it removed soon so she feels better. Jello for a Month ^^.
