  • What happens if you wait too long to get wisdom teeth out?

    Hello Friend, The are numerous possibilities, but here are a few scenarios: -Nothing. Some people keep their wisdom teeth their whole life and have no problems. -Crowding. Some mouths simply don't have the room for wisdom teeth, and eventually some or all of their teeth become crooked due to overcrowding. -Infection. If you have redness and swelling in the area of any of your wisdom teeth, you should get them removed immediately in order to remove the source of infection. If an X-ray called a pano was taken, and your wisdom teeth are laying down, it is possible for the wisdom teeth to cause the roots of the teeth in front of them to be resorbed, thereby causing you to ultimately lose your wisdom teeth and the ruined teeth in front of them.
