Wisdom teeth upper??


Question: can I still suffer with my wisdom teeth at 42 ?
At the moment I find eating very painful and sore even drinking is uncomfortable
any ideas
Answers: Yes, upper wisdom teeth can give you problems at almost any age. The older we get, the more likely wisdom teeth can actually cause bone loss. If they are impacted (covered by bone and not in all the way in the mouth), they can also push against the roots of the tooth in front of them. This can cause all sorts of different problems. If the wisdom tooth is in the mouth (erupted), they can still push against the tooth next to it and cause decay that can only be seen by xray. Your best bet is to see your dentist and get his/her opinion and find out exactly what is going on.
Go to the dentist and have them removed.
Well, my wisdom teeth still grow a bit every now and again and im nearly 34 so anythings possible.

Why dont you go see your dentist for advice?
In the mouth of a human there are incisors (to cut food), canine (or dog teeth), pre-molars and molars (for grinding or chewing ).

The Wisdom teeth are the large molars at the end of each line of teeth - there is one Wisdom tooth at the end of each row - therefore there are 4 in total.

Wisdom teeth are the last permanent teeth to develop. They appear in the mouth
between the ages of 18-24 years and may develop in the jaw but never erupt or appear in the mouth.

I got that from a web page about Wisdom Teeth it may be better for you to go to visit your dentist and get treatment. I have had to have all my wisdom teeth out as they were infected when they first appeared in my twenties.
