Mine got infected about a year ago or so. I really should have them removed but now I'm off my parent's insurance and they've been fine ever since, so I've kind of forgotten about taking care of that... did it suck?

getting my wisdom teeth out was so much fun for the first few days. i was all drugged and didnt do anything. then on the third or fourth day the pain started to set in something awful and i began running out of my meds!! i had problems w/ them for about two weeks after the surgery but my doc wouldn't refill my prescription so i was in moderate pain for a while. it's all good now, tho.

Holy crap, that tooth looks huge!
I got mine out last September but they yanked them before they even grew in all the way or something so I wasn't in much pain at all, I was up and doing #### the next day with barely any painkillers. It wasn't too bad.

My dentist-people told me they only take them out if they look like they're going to impact the other teeth, like they grow in and smoosh everything else out of place, or if they cause a lot of pain while they're growing in. But they could've just been telling me that to get me to pay them lots of money.

Yeah I think its not true at all because the other day I asked my dentist if my wisdom teeth would push my other teeth together but he said it doesn't excert that kind of force on your other teeth even if they don contact and push together

i could feel my jaw getting cramped when my bottom two came in sideways. my front teeth twisted out of line a little.

even if they dont move your teeth, they can rub against them and make soft spots where food and stuff gets trapped and can make your teeth really susceptible to infection. good meds afterwards, i had little to no residual pain.

yea, it doesnt hurt yet. but they were impacted and were growing at like a 45deg angle
