I Hate Dentists
Posted: 08-02-04 13:58pm

I had a sore gum in the back of my mouth and I finally touched it and its a tooth growing, considering I am 18 years old I know what tooth that is a wisdom tooth and not only is it coming its coming crooked. I dont want to go get it pulled becuz I dont think I can have any pain meds what am I supposed to do?

Meagen I just had a tooth come in the same place you have. It hurt a little but it's ok now. Wait till it's fully and it will probably be ok

Sweetangel I know those wisdom teeth can be ok, but I am almost positive mine is coming in messed up and I dont want my teeth to get crooked Sad but hopefully it will go back down on its own and I wont have to worry about it.

I went into my orthodontist, for a checkup on my teeth to make sure im wearing my retainer (lol I never wear it, but my teeth never moved back after I got my braces off, and they dont even know I never wear it. Haha, I tell them I wear it all the time)... And they were going to do an x-ray to see how my wisdom teeth were doing, and I told them that I had recently found out I was pregnant, and they asked when I was due, and they told me not to come back until after I had the baby. Lol they had me out of there in a hurry! I really think your going to have to wait til after you have your baby, but call the dentist and tell them about it, and maybe there is something you can do... Yes, if its coming in crooked it will mess up your teeth, even normal ones mess up your teeth, cuz most people dont have enough room in their mouths. I have a cavity in one of my molars...The dentist said that a chunk of my tooth broke off, which I dont know how thats possible cuz that tooth doesnt bother me at all. I told them I thought I had a cavity in a tooth on the other side of my mouth, and you can see it, it looks like a hole, and it hurts bad, but they told me it wasnt a cavity. Then what the hell is it?!?! I told them it was really starting to bother me, and they just kinda brushed it off, but they are all worried about this tooth that feels normal and completely fine to me. I dont know how the hell they are supposed to fix my tooth since im pregnant. They cant numb me can they? I hate dentists too!

~sweetangel~ you usually dont get your wisdom teeth until you are at least 17-18... Most people dont get them til they are in their 20's... I think the teeth your talking about are your 12 year molars. Most dentists dont even worry about your wisdom teeth until you are around 16-17...

Lol, hun you may have to get it pulled. My bf got his pulled recently because it was growing in crooked. That same day he discovered he was an evolutionary mutant because he was only growing that one. They say we are supposed to evolve to the point where we no longer grow them. Hey at least you can have some laughs while you try to drink something with your numb mouth Laughing you'll get some fun out of that Wink

My dentist told me when I was 8 or so that I will never get wisdom teeth because I was born without the genes for them. And he was right! Haven't gotten a single one!

Ahh erin, lol what if your in for a big suprise Wink Laughing

Oh yea, and my stepdad had gotten into a bad motorcycle accident, he broke a leg, arm, and his jaw, and the orthodontist wanted to re-break his jaw to fix something with his bite or something, ~and~ pull his wisdom teeth out at the same time... While he still had the broken jaw from the accident! Some people are so stupid!
