Wisdom teeth removal questions?

1. You get your first one by the time you are about 19 or 20

2. You don't have to get them removed unless they are really bothering you. In fact my mom always said that you shouldn't. God gave them to you for a reason.

3. Unless you request it I don't think they do. I had to teeth removed before in the past and they just injected an anesthetic into my gums. It was a little painful, but after like 5 minutes I didn't feel a thing.

4. I don't think so. I don't know about that question.

You can get your wisdom teeth when you are young, all the way until you are an adult. You do not always have to get them removed, depending on the way they grow in or if they even grow in at all. If they are going to push your other teeth a certain way and mess up your teeth, dentists recommend to have them removed. You do not need to be put under when they are removed, but i personally think you should. I got put put under and had very little pain, but when my mom got hers out she did not get put to sleep and she said it was very painful. They do not have to be broken through before they are removed.

1. Usually the late teens or early twenties

2. Not necessarily, but usually. If you are lucky, then your wisdom teeth might come in straight and there could be enough room for them. But many people have to get them out because their jaws just aren't big enough for extra molars, and leaving the teeth in can cause pain, make your teeth shift, and it can also be difficult to clean and floss since the wisdom teeth are often jammed right up against the second molars.

3. Usually you will have the option of either just getting a local anesthetic, or being out under IV sedation. Local anesthetic means that they will numb all the areas that they'll be taking the teeth out, so that you won't feel pain, but you will be completely awake and aware of what's going on. With IV sedation, you will mostly be asleep, but even of you're awake for part of it, you will still be so out of it that you won't know what's going on, and you won't remember anything about the procedure when you wake up. It basically feels the same as general anesthesia that they give you in hospitals because you go to sleep, wake up, and don't remember anything and don't really feel like time has passed. Most surgeons will recommend being put under. A local anesthetic is recommended more for if its more simple...like if you only needed one wisdom tooth out, and it was already through and they just needed to pull it. But if you're getting out all four and they have to actually cut open your gums, you probably don't want to have to watch them do that!

4. The teeth don't have to already be through your gums. In fact, most dentists and oral surgeons wouldn't recommend waiting until all four of the teeth are already in, because by then they could be causing your mouth a lot if problems.

Alot of people get it done in their teenage years

No not everyone needs them removed, removing them depends on its position and effect on your other teeth, in effect later in life.

Yeah you will most likely be put to sleep. And after you will get medication either percocet or hydrocodine

Im not sure but youll be asleep and wake up with chipmunk cheeks :)
