If my wisdom teeth are NOT IMPACTED but partially protruded...?

Will they have to break my jaw bone to get them out.





I can see all four of my wisdom teeth.





But the bottom ones hurt for atleast a week each month.


Plus I want braces and have no room at the bottom to get my teeth straighten.





Also how does it feel after you go home from surgury. What is the pain like? Is it worse than the wisdom teeth growing?





Can you tell I'm nervous!!! :)

No, youre OK%26gt;
Reply:wisdom teeth if there is no room for them will only push on the other teeth to make room (you thought your teeth are crocked now)- -- my wisdom teeth were not impacted and they were pulled





the only reason they would break the jaw is if the roots were wrapped around the jawbone. They can see that on an x-ray -- but since your teeth are still below the gum line you will probably need oral surgery to have them removed





my sister had that done and she everything was fine
Reply:They don't break your jaw to take your wisdom teeth out. if they are impacted they crack the tooth. If your wisdom teeth are straight it is a simple procedure and a quick recovery. If they are crooked or impacted they may put you under and the recovery may be a little harder but they will give you pain meds. They usually don't take wisdom teeth out until you are about 18 depending if they have come in or not. Its not a big deal.
Reply:I had two wisdom teeth pulled out and two cut out. I was nervous about the surgery too. But when I woke up from surgery I felt nothing, just extremely tired. I walked out of the office with a little help from my dad. Got home slept like forever. I only used one pain pill the doctor gave me, but then I ended up throwing it up because I had swallowed a lot of blood. I never used another pain pill and never threw up again. I was in no pain for some reason. But, every bodies pain level is different. You will be alright.
Reply:if they are only partially through the gum tissue, and not impacted, no you won't have to break your jaw to get them out.





just because they aren't all the way through the gums doesn't necessarily mean that they are under bone. If they are underneath the bone, which may be the case, they will just drill the bone away and take them out.





the only reason they would break your jaw bone is if you have a serious underbite. and this has nothing to do with your wisdom teeth.





you will need the wisdom teeth out before braces though and it's good to get them out anyways when they're partially impacted because #1 the tissue that is still covering the tooth can become infected and get food under it and have problems = pain, #2 the preassure the other teeth are putting on them can be very uncomfortable if there isn't room for them. #3 they can develop cists around the teeth under the gum tissue...these are painfull and will need to be surgically removed.





so for all of these reasons it is better to get them out as soon as you can. it's not a bad procedure. you're only acctually in the chair for about 10 mins. but you'll probably be put under. good luck....and one other thing, when you're done and home...do ice on 20mins and heat on 20 mins....go back and forth as needed this really helps
