When is it too late to have your wisdom teeth pulled?

I'm 20 and I haven't had my wisdom teeth pulled yet b/c of financial reasons. Will it be harder to have them pulled or cut out?

When is it too late to have your wisdom teeth pulled?
there is no way to tell how fast your teeth are growing because everyone is different. i had mine out at 15.





yes, it will make your teeth crooked. the longer you wait the worse the extractions will be. and it will take you longer to recover.





i have many many friends and patients who had braces and their wisdom teeth completely ruined their smile.





it's best to get a panorex x-ray (goes all the way around your head) to see where the teeth are and if they will effect the rest of your teeth. your dentist will be able to advise you.
Reply:no, its never too late. it just might hurt more. but i would get sedated and take a few days off of work, and rest a lot! its not too bad.
Reply:No it's never too late.





But do you really need to have them pull out?...if you are like in real eternal pain and suffering then do it BUT sometimes dentists (like mine) try to force you just for the money; I still have mine and I have never had a problem.
