I'm 13 and I can feel the bumps where they are. My dentist said that they are coming in crooked and I'm pretty sure that they are too far back. But they don't really hurt that much so idk when I should get them pulled?

i just had my teeth checked. and they said i can keep my wisdom teeth because they are growing in very healthy which is actually unusual. my dad still has his wisdom teeth too.

No, pericoronitis does not subside.. it gets worse.... much much worse.. lol. Take it from me, I just had it ealier in the month and it was one of the worst oral pains that I have ever had in my life. I had to be on amoxicillan (three pills a day for seven days) in order for it to clear up properly.

You don't want to leave something like that untreated or uncleaned out properly either to risk it turning into some sort of gum disease.

@rsxbodykit i hope so. i really don't want to go through with the procedure.

So if your wisdom don't Cause pain then you don't need them pulled. Only if they begin causing pain ?
