No. It is not necessary that your wisdom teeth be causing you pain or discomfort to participate in one of SCIREX's clinical studies. However, for most studies, it is required that at least one of your bottom wisdom teeth be partially or completely under the gums.

Please note it is very important that you discuss with your dentist any problems you have with your wisdom teeth and get regular check ups. Your dentist will be the best person to advise you on any issues and the most relevant course of action for you and your circumstances. Here are just a few of the common causes of why wisdom teeth may be removed, but you do need to have an individual and expert opinion to know if that is the correct course of action for you.

most wisdom teeth are supposed to come through in early adulthood just wondering for those of us who had them out when they caused us problems.

When you approach 17 years of age, your last set of teeth are due to erupt. These teeth are called third molars or wisdom teeth. Often since the jaw is already formed when they erupt, there is not enough room for the wisdom teeth and they become wedged between the back of your lower jawbone and the tooth in front of them. This is called an impaction.

Extractions are sometimes required to create space in people with crowded teeth or to reduce protrusion of the teeth. Extractions are only done following very careful analysis.

Tooth extractions are not always required but when they are it is usually for good reason. Correction of crowded teeth and improvement of facial profiles cannot be easily achieved. Often tooth extractions are necessary to provide the extra space.

The amount of discomfort will depend on how easy it was to take the tooth out. There is usually some swelling and discomfort for a few days afterwards, and it is important to follow any advice you get about mouthwashes and so on, to help with the healing. Some people also find homeopathic remedies help to reduce discomfort. Usual pain-killers such as paracetamol, aspirin or ibuprofen will usually deal with any pain.

During the drive up to Iowa it was getting late so I was chewing on a piece of gum to try to keep me more alert and somehow I managed to bite the inside of my left cheek. It hurt for the next couple of days but I noticed that it didn't break the skin(gum), instead it formed this kind of pocket.

Buy me a beer and I'll tell you the entire story (unless you suffer from dentistophobia - in that case, buy me a beer and I promise not to tell you the story ...). For now, let's just say that my jaw was rather attached to that particular wisdom tooth (and still is, as you can see in the picture below ...).

To make wisdom tooth extraction easier, don't wait for them to get really infected. At the first sign that they are impacted or could become problematic, schedule a time to remove them. In addition, take extra vitamins and minerals to enhance healing. This can be started 1 - 2 weeks prior to surgery. And lastly, make sure the dentist is experienced in

Faster healing depends on following the doctors instructions of rest after the surgery, using ice on the outside of your jaw, keeping pressure with gauze on the extraction site and keeping your head elevated. In addition, extra vitamins
