I put off having my wisdom teeth done for years. First, because they didn't hurt and then because I was broke. I have to admit too, I was worried about how much they'd hurt.
When I finally got a decent job, I had them done (when I was 38). After all the worry about them, It didn't bother me a bit. After the first day I never even took the pain meds.
Apparently, they were pretty badly impacted and had put a lot of pressure on my other teeth. When without the wisdom teeth, the pressure that had been on the other teeth backed off and with a year or two several of my other teeth broke. I guees the pressure had crcked them over the years, but also held them together. I have five or six crowns now. I gotta say, those sonsabithces DID hurt.
The moral is, if you have any dental problems get them done ASAP. That stuff doesn't get better by itself and while you wait, other problems are piling up on top of them.
