Teeth question

[xXJust Jump ItXx]

Im kinda curious here if anyone knows anything... But I do have wisdom teeth I can kinda feel em but they are all under my gums. They for what ever reason for the last years now, over 5 I wanna say havent come up! I mean do I need to have em removed and if they wont come up will they have to be basically cut out? I mean if they do have to, I dont mind, Ive had a tooth pulled before. But Im curious and they are bugging me!

Most of the time when they remove them they do it because the roots are wrapping around your sinuses or they are cause pain or messing with braces. I could see mine in xrays for at least 3 years before they pulled them and they never came through. So I don't think its weird that they haven't come up yet, but you might want to go to the dentist to have them see if they need to be pulled.

maybe pay a visit to your dentist and get he/she to have a look
usually your wisdom teeth dont start popping up till your in your early 20's

When they take out wisdom teeth, they typically do cut them out to begin with, so that's not abnormal. It's also not abnormal for them not to be out of your gums yet--it can take up through your mid twenties for them to come out up through your gums. Now, that being said, the only way to know if you need to have them removed is to talk to a dentist about it, and they will take an X-ray of your jaw to see whether or not your wisdom teeth look like they will come in as they're supposed to, whether you'll have room in your mouth, or whether they're going to be impacted. Most people end up having them taken out, so I wouldn't worry too much. Just ask your dentist next time you're there about it :)
