    my panoramic dental x-ray is similar to this:

    i think the parially erupted upper wisdom tooth causes more pain than the unerupted lower wisdom tooth, cause yung crown mismo ng wisdom tooth e tumutulak sa tooth beside it. yun nga malamang cause na nagseswell ang gums ng first molar. am i correct with the conclusion na yung lower impacted tooth are not needed to be extracted na? only the uppers ones? although the dentist never said anything about leaving the lower impacted tooth behind. akin akin lang yun.. hehehe.. though i think i am wrong..
    I do not mean to flood here.. I really need to have it removed...
    The thought of "surgery" scares me..No matter how minor..
    But I'd rather have this done sooner than later.. Really need help here

    have it removed if:
    1. causing pain and discomfort
    2. will be or undergoing orthodintic treatment
    3. if the impacted teeth is putting harm to the adjacent teeth

    see an oral surgeon, all four can be done at the same time, the lower right posed a little difficulty in removal.
