I went to the dentist two years ago. I was told I will not have any wisdom teeth. One of my molars is broken I developed a gum flap? Is it possible my wisdom teeth is coming in the wrong place
Can I have an impacted tooth?
yes.
Reply:How old are you? Usually people have four 3rd molars (wisdom teeth). Some people however do not have all four or do not have any at all. The only way that you can know for sure is if you have a panoramic x-ray taken by your dentist.

Can I have an impacted tooth?
I went to the dentist two years ago I was told I will not have any wisdom teeth? One of my molars is broken I developed a gum flap? Is it possible my wisdom teeth is coming in the wrong place
Can I have an impacted tooth?
I'm not sure but I did have an impacted tooth earlier this year and had to get my wisdom teeth removed. I was in a lot of pain and went to the doctors to check it out instead of the dentist. They were able to prescribe something to take the pain away and I made an emergency appointment to get my wisdom teeth out. I would call up your doctors office and explain your symptoms. Hope that helps --
Reply:I am pretty sure the Dr. that said you had no wisdom teeth was looking at an X-Ray. You have no wisdom teeth; what you do have is a cavity (broken tooth) and a flap of gum has grown into the cavity. Get the tooth filled and if necessary, the Dentist will snip off the flap.

I have an impacted tooth...?
I was 17 when I found out I still had a baby tooth. I went to the dentist regularly all my life and the dentist didn't catch this, but an orthodontist did. So, I got the baby tooth removed and have been without a tooth for about two years now. The ortho said that this tooth would come down on its own. It has yet to do so. And I look like a moron because I have a tooth missing. My question to orthodontists/dentists/someone who works in the field is, what should I do now. I really don't want to get braces. At 19, its embarassing. I have straight teeth. and, no wisdom teeth (never had any to begin with) So, I believe there is room for a tooth to come in straight. Well, any help would be awesome. And I am sure within these two years my teeth have shifted significantly with there being a tooth missing. Thanks a lot!

You may need to get braces! Although your orthodontist said the tooth would erupt on it's own, it has been two years. This happened to me, with both of my upper canines. What they did was "sand" down my gingiva and placed a bracket on the crown of my canine, and slowly pulled it down. Some impacted teeth just aren't in the correct position to erupt on their own.
Reply:Did your orthodontist ever suggest having the impacted tooth exposed, then bonded and bracketed to bring it down? I assume since he thought it would move down into the baby tooth's spot that it was positioned in a vertical way. To expose a tooth a flap of tissue needs to be laid open, then a bracket is bonded to the tooth. A small wire, chain or some other type of attachment is used to connect this tooth to arch wires of brace work. It is like towing the tooth into place. Takes a little while but I'm guessing if you were in braces at the time, you no longer are. It may still be a possibility. If the tooth will never come down, you may want to consider having it removed by an oral surgeon. The space in your mouth can be taken care of by one of three options: An implant, a three unit bridge or a flipper partial. It would take some time to explain each one, but you can chat with your general dentist about those options, or you can check them out on the ADA (American Dental Association) web site. Cost wise they are all probably about the same. Good Luck.

Will waiting to get a wisdom tooth extracted make it more difficult to remove it later on?
my boyfriend's oral surgeon told him that one of his wisdom teeth is so impacted that he has a 20% chance of having permanent numbness in the area if the tooth is extracted. my bf is currently experiencing pain where that wisdom tooth is located.
he is trying to decide if he should risk taking the tooth out and having the area be permanently numb or delay the extraction until he gets a second opinion on the procedure. will the diffculty of the extraction and the chance of numbness be increased if he waits to get the tooth taken out?
thanks

It not only can move the teeth but also, I ended up having my roots twist around my jawbone. If you do get a second opinion do not wait very long.
Reply:It could cause the other teeth to move if there isnt enough room for the wisdom teeth in his mouth
Reply:Wisdom teeth have the ability to grow into the jawbone (hence the term impacted). It is better to get them out as soon as possible because the deeper they grow into the jawbone the higher the chance of infecting the bone tissue. This might also have to do with the numbness he is expereincing. Pressure may be crushing or pinching a nerve, resulting in the numbness.
Reply:yes. the long you wait the longer the roots grow and twist around the jaw bone making it more painful to have it taken out and or after it's been taken out. if i were your bf id have it done ASAP! and not just 1 have them all done at the same time

How long should i wait after i have my baby to get my wisdom teeth surgically removed?
I was supposed to get them out like a year and a half ago, but i couldn't afford the $1500. Now that i have insurance i would like to get them out asap. They are killling me! They are impacted and one of the roots is in my sinus. And it is affecting my TMJ. So the sooner the better, i just don't know how it will be with a new baby, and i know they wont cut my teeth out while i am pregnant. any advice?
How long should i wait after i have my baby to get my wisdom teeth surgically removed?
I would get them done as soon as you can after the baby is born. You can do it when the baby is about a month old. Then it will be on a schedule and you will be able to follow that routine. I think that it wuld be best to do it then. Don't think that the dentist won't pull them when you are pregnant, they were gonna take mine out when I was 7 months along, but I refused and got it done later when she was born. There are some crazy dentists out there.
But 2 of mine were impacted and the other 2 were out of the gum. I only got the 2 out of the gum removed as if I am put under it is hard to get me awake. I waited for the other 2 to come out of the gum and when they did my mouth was able to accommodate them and they are still in my mouth today and are not causing any pain or problems. The bottom teeth got crunched and became crooked, I want to get braces, but it is hard to afford and most insurances do not cover it.
Reply:Will you be nursing? That will make a difference in how long you have to wait to feed breastmilk to get the medicine out of your body. I would call the Dentist they will know.,
Reply:You may want to wait awhile after the baby is born, at least a month or so. I know when I had my wisdom teeth out all I did was sleep for 2-3 days. It wasn't necessarily an excruciating pain, more like an uncomfortable one.
Reply:when you are ready to do ...are you breast feeding ...if not anytime after baby comes
Reply:Talk to your doctor and the oral surgeon, they can tell you better than anyone. I was not pregnant, but after I had my done, I was no good for about 3 days. Of course I had mine done in the afternoon and then came home and slept. I know one of the rules for getting them done is that a friend or family member has to be present to drive you home. So if you are going to be breast feeding you may want to wait until you get the baby on formula.
Reply:you will have to talk to your doc cause there are many different situations
Reply:You'll be soooo incredibly sore afterwards. You won't be able to eat solid foods for a few days, and hot foods hurt. Talk to your doctors(ob and dentist) about the effects the drugs that get used could have on you, and baby if you're breastfeeding. You may have to pump and build up a supply, in case there are any negative side effects, to feed baby with.Then you'll have to pump and dump the effected milk to keep your supply up. Have lots of protein shakes, and soups to eat(I even ate baby food when I had mine removed). Anyways, to answer your question, I say make the appointment when you feel better. Having your teeth pulled after giving birth will seem like a breeze.

Wisdom tooth removal. Any ideas on what this could be?
I had my wisdom teeth removed by an oral surgeon
11 days ago. Ever since the surgery I have had most of my pain on the lower right side. The oral surgon said that tooth was the most difficult to remove b/c it was coming in completely sideways. A few days after the surgery I went back to him because pain seemed to be increasing. It is a throbbing pain that was diagnosed as dry socket. The medicated dressing he put in the socket seemed to help a little at the time, but it was still painful. I don't know that he could see that the blood clot, b/c it is such a deep wound and it was stitched up for the most part. I am worried b/c it still hurts and all of my teeth on that side hurt. Perhaps they are shifting a little b/c all of my wisdom teeth were or impacted? Or I have nerve damage? Or does that sound like infection ( I was never put on an antibiotic after the surgery)? A few days ago I got a foul taste and when cleaning grey stuff came out. I haven't gotten any more but it worried me.

ive had 2 cut out and 2 pulled out the lower 2 were cut out and were most painful the top 2 werent so bad, and i luckily didnt get dry socket but i have a friend that did (her dads a dentist too! lol youd think she would have listened to him) but she said dry socket was the most pain shes ever felt so its probably normal to have alot of pain b/c both times i got mine removed they warned me b4 and called me and warned me after the appt and gave me an info sheet on what not to do because your at risk for dry socket if you
a few were do not open or breath through your mouth in cold weather
do not suck through a straw do not suck your teeth do not smoke and dont eat or drink anything hot (might dissolve the stitches)
Reply:Sounds like an infection. You should have no pain by now. Go see the surgeon again. But try not to look to the worst. I had mine done a year ago--and they were black (but you don't want to hear this right now.) The doctor will set you right better than random people like me on the internet. but if you want to talk--drop me a line.

I am getting my wisdom teeth pulled in 5 days, they are grown out completely and have cavitys, will it hurt?
will I have a lot of pain, I know its cant be as bad as when I had the bottom ones pulled, I was 14 and they were impacted and had not even shown up out of the gum line, they had to dig and crack in several places and it was a night mare..but i want to know if this will be as bad, my dentist told me that it will only take 30 min for the two teeth so I can imagine it wont be horrible...i'm scared
I am getting my wisdom teeth pulled in 5 days, they are grown out completely and have cavitys, will it hurt?
i can assure you it was much easier!! especially when they appear out of the gum. mine was so quick and when i woke up the only thing i didnt like was the blood. it tends to bleed a bit but they give you cotton balls. so dont worry you wil do fine!!! dont be scared i was too i cried into the dentists office and before i fell asleep.. no pain. promise!!
Reply:i had all four out 2day...theres almost no pain, but mine were not grown out at all and did not have cavities...i would think there would be more pain in ur case.
good luck
Reply:I had mine out a few years ago and the pain was much less than I'd expected. I was sore, definitely, but I think that was partially from having my jaw propped open for half an hour -- it certainly wasn't like the horrible pain I had from an abscessed molar, which was REAL pain. It was much better after about three days.
Reply:You will be fine. The cavities will not cause any more or less discomfort than if the teeth were totally healthy
Reply:So you already went through this... It's going to be better this time, don't worry. It's easier to pull out teeth than to "dig for them" like you said. Cheer up! And since you already have cavities in them, it will be better for you in the long run -- cavities hurt and most dentist won't do any work on wisdom teeth.
