I too had 4 perfect wisdom teeth at one time...lol
They were fine for many yrs. When i was 32, I had them all four cut out.
The problem was that they were so far back and one was rather close to the tooth beside it, so eventually i ended up with an absessed wisdom tooth. I decided to have them all taken out so that i wouldnt have to worry in the future of this happening again. I have regular cleanings and am very picky about my teeth so I knew that my preventative care obviously didnt stop the one wisdom tooth from absessing. The problem with mine was that when you get a little older, the roots tend to fuse to the bone, making it harder to just pull them all out easily like you can when you are younger. The older you are, the worse they will fuse to the bone, so cutting out was my only option. I'm so glad I did it. No more food gets stuck way back there...and you will be fine, you'll get laughing gas like Mone't said and I was also given a drug called "versed" sp? and it makes you where you do not remember anything. And i didn't! Good luck to you! |
