Wisdom teeth are located behind your second molars, where they slowly push their way through the gums as they grow. If all goes well, they will end up extending the rows of teeth you already have. However, this is often not the case.<\/p> <p>Due to the potential complications associated with wisdom teeth, many people choose to remove them before they become an issue. The medical community is not in complete agreement about preemptive wisdom tooth removal, but it is a fairly well-established practice. Dentists do agree that if any complications arise, removal of a wisdom tooth is the best course of action.<\/p> <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How many wisdom teeth do you have?<\/h3> <div class=\"wp-block-image size-medium wp-image-3773\"> <figure class=\"alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3773\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/04\/xray-300x140.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/04\/xray-300x140.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/04\/xray-150x70.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/04\/xray-768x359.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/04\/xray-65x30.jpg 65w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/04\/xray-220x103.jpg 220w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/04\/xray-214x100.jpg 214w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/04\/xray-358x167.jpg 358w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/04\/xray-729x340.jpg 729w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/04\/xray-872x407.jpg 872w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/04\/xray-1020x476.jpg 1020w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/04\/xray.jpg 1024w\" alt=\"rotten wisdom tooth\" width=\"300\" height=\"140\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Third molars showing various types of impaction<\/figcaption><\/figure> <\/div> <p>Most people have four \u2013 one on the left and right of both the upper and lower jaw. However it\u2019s possible for some people to have fewer than this or none at all. In some rare cases a person can have extra wisdom teeth, up to six or even eight. This often results in a double set of extractions \u2013 ouch!<\/p> <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When do your wisdom teeth come in?<\/h3> <p>They typically appear much later than the rest of our teeth. While your second molars come in around age 12, the average age when you get your wisdom teeth is 17-25.<\/p> <p>It\u2019s quite possible for these teeth to stay hidden for decades and only erupt in a person\u2019s 30s or 40s. Equally, they may never come through but also never cause any problems which require them to be extracted.<\/p> <p>It\u2019s also worth mentioning that third molars don\u2019t necessarily come in at the same rate. For example, it\u2019s possible to have two fully developed wisdom teeth coming in from the bottom of your mouth while a top tooth is still growing. That said, if you have an extraction your dentist will likely take the opportunity to remove all your wisdom teeth, regardless of how far along they are.<\/p> <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is something wrong if I have no wisdom teeth?<\/h3> <p>No, and it isn\u2019t a sign that you are lacking in wisdom either!

People born without wisdom teeth can still eat perfectly well but don\u2019t have the risk of complications that the rest of us suffer.<\/p> <p>Your dentist will be able to do an x-ray to check for the first signs of wisdom teeth coming in, but don\u2019t get too excited. Even if they don\u2019t see any third molars, it\u2019s possible they just haven\u2019t made an appearance yet. And if you really don\u2019t have any, being \u201cmore evolved\u201d won\u2019t let you breathe underwater or read anyone\u2019s mind.<\/p> <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do they hurt?<\/h3> <div class=\"wp-block-image\"> <figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-7222\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/05\/Wisdom-tooth-pain-FI.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 356px) 100vw, 356px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/05\/Wisdom-tooth-pain-FI.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/05\/Wisdom-tooth-pain-FI-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/05\/Wisdom-tooth-pain-FI-768x404.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/05\/Wisdom-tooth-pain-FI-790x415.jpg 790w\" alt=\"wisdom tooth cavity\" width=\"356\" height=\"187\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Do you have to get your wisdom teeth pulled?<\/figcaption><\/figure> <\/div> <p>There are various reasons why your third molars might cause you pain.

In fact, it could actually be putting the patient at risk of complications unnecessarily.<\/p> <p>Some people naturally have enough space in their jaw and mouth to accommodate the extra teeth. They can remain in place and function normally for the lifetime of the patient. But <strong>what happens if you don\u2019t remove wisdom teeth<\/strong> isn\u2019t the same for everyone. The reason why these teeth are so often removed is because of the complications they can cause.<\/p> <p>Common problems include:<\/p> <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li>Pain while growing<\/li> <li>Impaction<\/li> <li>Tooth decay<\/li> <li>Infection<\/li> <li>Abscess<\/li> <\/ul> <p>This list doesn\u2019t include problems associated with surgery, but rather issues caused naturally by your wisdom tooth coming in.

It presses against the next tooth and, if left long enough, may cause other teeth to shift position.<\/p> <p><strong>Fully impacted wisdom teeth<\/strong> are still completely covered by gum tissue whereas <strong>partially erupted teeth<\/strong> break through the gum but are unable to emerge fully. Partial eruption is more likely to lead to infection, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/gingivitis-treatment-symptoms\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">gum disease<\/a> or decay since there is an opening where bacteria can access the tooth.<\/p> <p>Symptoms of impacted teeth include:<\/p> <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li>Pain at the back of the mouth<\/li> <li>Jaw pain or stiffness<\/li> <li>Gum pain or swelling<\/li> <li>Pain or sensitivity around a partially erupted tooth<\/li> <li>Headaches<\/li> <\/ul> <p>An impacted tooth doesn\u2019t always show symptoms or cause pain, though. Even if an x-ray shows that you have impacted teeth, if they aren\u2019t bothering you your dentist may well decide to leave them be. When patients are experiencing pain from impacted wisdom teeth, removal is usually the best option.<\/p> <p>One reason to remove an impacted tooth sooner rather than later is that the older you get, the further your wisdom teeth roots develop and the more dense the bone holding them in place becomes. Removal can therefore be more difficult and lead to a longer recovery if teeth are removed later in life.<\/p> <p>If your dentist is concerned by the position of your teeth he or she may recommend removal to prevent any complications from developing. You may also be referred to an oral surgeon for a second opinion.<\/p> <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wisdom tooth decay and infection<\/h3> <p>Another argument for the removal of third molars as standard is the <strong>high occurrence of wisdom tooth decay<\/strong>. Because these teeth are located so far back it\u2019s difficult to clean them properly. Even people who maintain excellent oral health may have problems keeping their rear teeth clean.<\/p> <p>It\u2019s particularly common for decay to develop between the second and third molar, and if untreated this can lead to more serious infection or a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/tooth-abscess-information\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">tooth abscess<\/a>.

Here are the options that are usually available to you:<\/p> <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li><strong>Local Anesthesia<\/strong>: This anesthetic only numbs the surgical area. You will remain awake and aware of the entire procedure, but the anesthesia will prevent discomfort.<\/li> <\/ul> <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li><strong>Nitrous Oxide Sedation<\/strong>: Laughing gas is inhaled through a mask and serves as a sedative and mild pain reliever. You will remain awake and feel at ease.<\/li> <\/ul> <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li><strong>IV Sedation<\/strong>: This method is administered into the\u00a0 arm and puts you in a semi-conscious state. You will wake up after surgery and not remember the procedure.<\/li> <\/ul> <p>When undergoing IV sedation, you must arrange for an adult to be present during the surgery and drive you home after. General anesthesia is reserved for extensive oral health procedures like jaw surgery because it will render you totally unconscious<\/p> <p><strong>Dr. Eric Wood, DDS, Utah Surgical Arts<\/strong><\/p> <\/div> <\/div> <p>Having teeth removed is never an enjoyable process, but your dentist or oral surgeon will do whatever possible to limit your discomfort. You\u2019ll usually receive a local anesthetic to numb the area although some wisdom teeth removal surgeries are carried out under general anesthesia. If you\u2019re very nervous it\u2019s possible to request some kind of sedation.<\/p> <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Removing erupted wisdom teeth<\/h3> <p>Before pulling the tooth your dentist will have to loosen it in the socket. He or she will do this by grasping it firmly with a dental tool and then rocking it around or twisting it. All you should feel is some pressure at the site.<\/p> <p>In straightforward cases this only takes a few minutes.<\/p> <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Removing a partially erupted or impacted wisdom tooth<\/h3> <p>If your tooth is below the gum line or has only partially emerged, the procedure is more complicated and may take longer.

This wore away their teeth and the eruption of the new set let them keep eating this tough diet for longer. They did, however, have larger jaws that made it easier to accommodate all those teeth.<\/p> <p>Another theory about the purpose of wisdom teeth is that tooth loss would have been much more common in the past, and the extra teeth were needed to replace those that had fallen out. Nowadays we have advanced dentistry techniques, including root canal treatment and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/dental-crown-information\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">dental crowns<\/a>, which can save damaged teeth.<\/p> <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do I find cheap wisdom teeth removal near me?<\/h3> <p>You can call <a class=\"global-phone-link\" href=\"tel:+18663830748\">866-383-0748<\/a> to be put in touch with a surgeon near you. If you can\u2019t afford the cost, ask your dentist about a savings plan for discounts on your treatment, or a payment plan to spread costs out. Alternatively, you can check out our article on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/dental-financing\/dentist-without-insurance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cheap dental care without insurance<\/a>.<\/p> <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How long does a wisdom tooth extraction surgery take?<\/h3> <p>How long a wisdom tooth extraction will take does depend on how many teeth you need removed and how they come in. Impacted wisdom tooth extractions will take longer than fully erupted teeth removal. That said, once you get in the chair, your procedure shouldn\u2019t take more than 45 minutes.<\/p> <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why do experts now say not to remove your wisdom teeth?<\/h3> <p>Not all dentists agree on this topic, but many experts are now saying the risks associated with surgery are enough to justify waiting until your third molars become a problem. Lots of people find that when their wisdom teeth do stop growing, they have had no issues and have grown some brand new chompers!<\/p> <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are there any home remedies for wisdom teeth? Can I remove them myself?<\/h3> <p>If you are wondering how to remove wisdom teeth at home, stop right there. You can use some home remedies for pain, but the person who removes your wisdom teeth should be a professional. The risks of removing a tooth at home far outweigh the benefits of saving some money. If you are committed to home removal, read our article on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/oral-health\/pull-your-tooth\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">how to pull your own tooth<\/a>.<\/p> <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I keep my wisdom teeth after removal?<\/h3> <p>If you want to hang on to your third molars after they are removed you will have to ask your oral surgeon. Usually they will let you take them home in a small envelope. Remember that if they are impacted, they may have to be removed in pieces.<\/p> <div class=\"socials_share\"> <ul class=\"share-buttons\"> <li class=\"share_item share_item-facebook\"><\/li> <li class=\"share_item share_item-twitter\"><\/li> <li class=\"share_item share_item-whatsapp-web\"><\/li> <li class=\"share_item share_item-common\"><\/li> <\/ul> <p><script>\n    document.addEventListener(\"DOMContentLoaded\", function(event) {\n        var tempInput = jQuery('<input type=\"text\">');\n        var curUrl = jQuery(location).attr('href');\n        var shareButton = jQuery('.share-copy-link');\n        shareButton.on('click', function (e) {\n            e.preventDefault();\n            if (navigator.share) {\n                navigator.share({\n                    title: 'Dentaly.org | Your Oral Healthcare Portal',\n                    url: curUrl\n                }).then(() => {\n                    console.log('Thanks for sharing!');\n                }).catch(console.error);\n            } else {\n                jQuery('body').append(tempInput);\n                tempInput.val(curUrl).select();\n                document.execCommand('copy');\n                tempInput.remove();\n                jQuery(this).attr('data-state', 'Link is copied').addClass('copied');\n                setTimeout(function () {\n                    jQuery('.share-copy-link').removeClass('copied');\n                }, 8000);\n            }\n        });\n    });\n<\/script><\/p> <\/div> <p><!--copyscapeskip--><\/p> <div class=\"medical-references\"> <div class=\"medical-references__heading\">Sources<\/div> <div class=\"medical-references__list\"> <p><strong>Mayo Clinic:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/tests-procedures\/wisdom-tooth-extraction\/about\/pac-20395268\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wisdom tooth extraction<\/a>.
