Wisdom Teeth Coming in

I'm 15 and my bottom wisdom teeth have been trying to come in for over a year now. They keep moving up and down inside my gums, so sometimes I can barely see them, and sometimes my gums are healed over them. They don't usually give me any pain except maybe a scratching feeling right where they're pushing through, but recently the bottom of my mouth has had a dull ache the past few days. It feels like my wisdom teeth are pushing my other teeth a bit. (I have a really small mouth) I'm terrified of the dentist more than anything else, but I've made an appointment for it. I just hope it IS my wisdom teeth that are giving me pain, I don't know what else it could be so suddenly. I brush twice a day and floss. What can I expect at the dentist when I go? And how do I get over my fear?

you should definately go to your dentist dont delay........i also was in same situation  one year back and i was also having the same fear....and in june really i cant bear the pain.the i go to the dentist and she take a x ray and she said me that ur tooth is growind downward and the other has cavity.so my four tooth will be taken out in coming months because they will send me the letter.i am still in pain....every day i have tooth infection then i take antibiotics and after fininshing the course again i face the same situation after one week.....so u should definately go...i go to oral surgeon and they said me they will do it in sleeping.and after this ther is also chance of lip numbness...and u as far as i know lip numbness is too much swelling.he said me it can be temperary or may be there are 5 percent chance it can be permanent...so dont delay and go to ur dentist...because now i regret that i should go one year back.because i dont have no other option...........but what i am doing is she changed  my tooth paste she gave me sensodyn and a mouth wash  corsodyl(mint).ok.its good for gums..,.snd more i tak
e paracdetamol every day.but no more than 8 in 24 hours....and if the tooth infection is bad she gives me amoxillon 250mg..also gargle with salt and warm water.thats all taht i am doind so just throw this fear out of ur heart and go to the dentist...and also she cleans my gums and really all the infection go.it really really help...i hope u will go now..........

they will probably send you to an oral surgeron and get them taken out.... if they do that then you should be sleeping when they do the procedure...

if not and they need to do something else rather then your wisdom teeth have them give you some laughing gas and you will be very relaxed
