Any way to make wisdom teeth come through quicker?

Question

One of my wisdom teeth keeps coming up but then going back into my gum. Any way to make that stop other than getting it taken out? It's the only wisdom tooth I have so far so will I get the others? I'm 21 if that helps.

Answer 1

You should have 2 wisdom teeth, if only one is coming through then you probably have an uneven jawbone (quite normal).

Essentially, many dentists recommend you remove your wisdom teeth, however you really only need to remove them if it causes large discomfort or if an infection starts.

If you do not remove them then expect them to appear and then disappear beneath your gum line at random times. This may cause discomfort, an it cant be sped up or slowed down.

Just make sure to brush regularly, and use some mouth wash to avoid infection of the wisdom tooth.

I am 26 and still have my wisdom teeth... dentist been telling me to get rid of them since i was 15.
