Wisdom teeth are the last of the permanent teeth to erupt(between ages 16 and 21). I had a wisdom teeth when i was in my university, teeth are very pain. Do you have wisdom teeth?

No, I don't have my wisdom teeth anymore. I had them removed when I was about 16 years old. So, do you still have yours, or did you get them removed?

Hi chocalate, I don’t have the wisdom teeth. It removed by a surgery. It was very painful and comes out half portion and it disturbed me much. Finally I consulted the dentist and they prefer to remove the same. The x-ray showed some irregularity (it was not in the row so I got much pain) and told me, need surgery. I think many people are complaining about the wisdom teeth and it is giving much painful to all.

I still have them inside my jaw, they haven't erupted yet. I think that one is soon going to attempt this, because I feel some pain the area it is situated. I hope I won't need any surgical intervention and it will come out by itself.

well now we know what those poor babies feel when they are teething. To answer your question, no I had my wisdom teeth removed in 1996. T remember after the surgery, expecting so much pain but lucky to have none. I don't remember why I had them removed though, they weren't erupted yet. I think maybe their growth was starting to affect my other teeth so out they came. My husband is 39 years old and still as his wisdom teeth. They grew in fine without much pain he says and never caused any problems.

Hi, denagary, thanks for your response. Everyone is different, if it will affect others teeth, you must go to see a dentist.

i still have my 3 wisdom tooth. one dentist told me that this teeth are not that important, unlike the other molars. so if it cause you pain, better to have it extracted.
