Wisdom tooth extraction for teens: what to expect?
in Dentistry & Oral Hygiene ·
Help! So, my dentist is basically telling me I need to get all four wisdom teeth pulled, even though three of them haven't even broken through yet. I'm only 16, so I don't know... is this actually a smart move? Like, nothing really hurts right now, though I guess I can feel some pressure where they're starting to push against everything else. They want to do it in a week, and apparently, it involves cutting into the gums to pull them out. It sounds intense. I don't really get why I have to lose all four if they aren't even showing up. If anyone knows more about this kind of stuff, please let me know. Thanks.
