Question:
I had all four wisdom teeth removed when I was 17. I am now 20 and they are growing back in. My mother called the office where I had the original surgery and they refuse to see us because they say it is impossible for a second set to grow in. Is this just a case of misinformation? Because it's very obvious to me that it is possible for them to grow back in. ...Kay in TX
Answer:
Kay, no, but you could have what are called paramolars. They are an extra set of wisdom teeth that may have grown in back of the original wisdom teeth and made their way through after the originals were removed. It's not common but I have seen it before.
I can't believe the oral surgeon would not see you. Go to a different one and have an x-ray taken to see what is happening. Fire any doctor who refuses to address your complaint.
