What will happen if you don't get your wisdom teeth removed and end up keeping them in?


Answer:
Did the dentist tell you that you had to have them removed? If he did, there is a reason. They can be impacted, they can abscess and become infected, they can cause crowding in the rest of your teeth (where they overlap). If they haven't come through the gums yet and you've had x-rays that show upcoming problems, then have them looked after. people remember nice smiles!
Sometimes dentists leave them in, because it isn't neccessary to take them out (sometimes). But it would probably hurt LESS to keep them in than having them removed.
they only get removed if theres not enough room for them. if there isn't you'll know.
they can stay in as long as they are not bone impacted or would cause crowding in your mouth...i HAD to take out mine...they were a mess..
i'm guessing being dead, but, not for infection or compacted teeth. mine were pushing against the teeth in front of them, making my throat swell up to where it was hard to breathe and next to impossible to eat.
most people get their wisdom teeth removed because they cant manage to get it clean.. there is no room for the wisdom teeth to grow.. or the wisdom teeth is causing a inflamation for the gum... iif you end up keeping them... make sure to get good care of it.. clean it well.. =)
Some people can keep there wisdom teeth because there jaw has the space for them but they are very hard to keep clean so you risk them getting cavities. If you don't have the space for them and you decide to keep them then your other teeth can shift and move which will cause you to have crooked teeth. It is best to have them removed. I have worked for a dentist for the past 6 years and we always recommend having them taken out.
I have 2 of mine still, they filled in some space from lost teeth. If you have the need and room, it is useful to have them. If they are crowding or shifting your other teeth, then they should come out. It's up to you to decide with your dentist.
Well, if you leave them in and you also have your other molars, they are really difficult to reach. Therefore, they don't get brushed or flossed most of the time. Normally, they will get a lot of cavities, so it's cheaper to remove them in the first place. If your mouth is too small they will remove them. Also, your wisdoms are the only teeth that are unpredictable. There is no telling what size, shape, or color they will be. Also, I've seen a lot of people's that have been completely side ways. It's just a lot easier to remove them. They are there because when mankind began they were eating a lot of raw meat, so the extra teeth were needed, we're not eating like that anymore. Therefor, we don't need em.
Most people dont have the space in their mouths for wisdom teeth to come in. If you leave them in they may start hurting you because they will start pressing on and displacing your other teeth. (pushing your other teeth forward causing pain and making your teeth crooked).
Mostly likely crowding or pain if they're impacted. For me, I had to get them out because 2 were impacted and causing jaw, ear, and headaches. I took all 4 out and the pain went with it.
