I'm 18 year old female, and so far only
one of my wisdom teeth have started to
poke through. However every time I go to
the dentist, they take a new x-ray, an it
doesnt seem to show and of the other
beginning to poke through at all. The
dentist has told me numerous times that my
mouth is too small, and there will be no
room for the teeth. He keeps referring me
to a specialist to get a consultation.
When I went to the dentist today he said
that they arent coming in now onlyb ecause
there is no room. Is that even possible?
I thought they would come in either way,
whether there is room or not. Every night
iwear a retainer to prevent my teeth from
shifting at all. My mum has her wisdom
teeth, and they all fit in her mouth. She
got them pretty late as well. I don't
even know what my dentist talks about
because I clearly have enough room at the
back of my mouth. So my question is
should I just go and get them taken out,
or should I atleast wait until they come
in, and then make a decision.

You need to have them taken out. If you
dont have enough room they will grow
sideways against your other teeth causing
them to crowd. If you dont have them
taken out they can cause damage and pain.
