Imagine your mouth is a small container of cute little Luochalings. Now, your container can only hold five Luochalings. But suddenly one day, the Luochalings undergo mitosis and a sixth Luochaling appears. Your little container of Luochalings is so stuffed now, they are squeezed and pushed together and it hurts because they're not meant to be sq......   1 reply

Risk of crowding, impaction, cavities, damage to the surrounding teeth, infections, jaw and sinus issues, etc. Plus they're not actually that functional You can monitor them if they're not causing any problems (ask your dentist about it? maybe?), but it's easier to just pull them out lol   reply

I have pretty small jaw and big teeth, my wisdom teeth were going sideways, especially the left ones so I got them removed. I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT no matter what they tell you, unless there is a huuuge issue with it like it's rotten/broken or you want braces.

My dentist didn't, even though at the time i really wanted him to (fit for the stereotype that dentists are evil but whatever).
