Do you have to get wisdom teeth removed?

Question

what happens if you don't? can it be life threathing?

Answer 1

You are advised to get them removed when they come in crooked.

Not everyone has to get them removed and no, you won't DIE if you don't get them out.

Answer 2

You don't have to get them removed if they are not causing you any problems.  No, they are not life threatening.

Answer 3

Your dentist can determine if you need to have them removed or not.  If they are not causing problems with your other teeth, and there is enough room in your mouth then you shouldn't need to get them removed.

Check with your dentist, only he/she can say for sure.

Answer 4

You need to talk to your dentist. He should have xrays of your teeth. He would be able to tell you whether or not you have enough space in your mouth for wisdom teeth. There isn't anything life threatening about wisdom teeth. But if you don't have room in your mouth for them they can push your teeth together and or forward. Worse case scenerio you could have no room for a wisdom tooth and it could try to come out on the side of your gum instead of straight down. It happened to my son. He's having his surgically removed later this month.

Just see your dentist get an updated xray...It'll rest your mind about it.

Answer 5

you can leave them in but they ussually dont have anyroom to grow so if you leave them in then they root inside your gums and they they make like all your teeth all horrible and chaly which then means you will need to remove all your teeth and get fake ones
