It happened to my mother. It was a couple months after she got her third molars removed and she was having terrible pain. She ended up having to have surgery on the fourth molars to get them out. But this was also in the late 1970's so i would think dentists now would notice if you were to have the fourth molars and take them out the same time as the thirdAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16472438.post-29625305474952360312008-07-17T13:47:00.000-07:002008-07-17T13:47:00.000-07:002008-07-17T13:47:00.000-07:00I have seen wisdom teeth come in fairly early.

A panoramic x-ray from 18 months ago compared with one from this week show significant growth and crowding. He is recommending we remove them now before they damage her molars. I am hesitant to put my daughter through it if I can help it. She has already had 4 teeth removed to make room in her very small mouth. Have you seen this before? I am worried about surgery but I want to make the right decision. My jaw was broken when my wisdom teeth came out and I don't want that to happen to her.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16472438.post-64798514193816074852008-06-30T15:56:00.000-07:002008-06-30T15:56:00.000-07:002008-06-30T15:56:00.000-07:00Speaking of wisdom teeth if you love penuts or pec...Speaking of wisdom teeth if you love penuts or pecans ext.
