Wisdom Teeth Extractions Yes or No?

Question:
My top wisdom teeth are fine, and came through normally. But my bottom ones are now pushing to get through although I cant figure out where as there isn't any room left unless it actually changes the shape of my jaw.

I can't open my mouth properly as it hurts, and my glands are up in my throat which is adding to the pain. Should I leave them for a bit in case they end up coming through fine? I really hate going to the dentist. ... Gus in OH

Answer:
Gus, you need to discuss your individual case with your dentist or oral surgeon. If there is a space problem you could end up with swelling, infection, and pain. Don't delay the necessary evils of life.
