Should I have my wisdom teeth removed?
Dear doctor, I am 20 years old this year, growing a wisdom tooth in my upper jaw, and it is quite painful from the time of eruption until now. I saw a part of the tooth erupting and the gums were red and swollen, causing so much pain that it was difficult for me to open my mouth, and had to eat porridge for many days. I want to consult a doctor how to solve this situation, and should wisdom teeth be extracted? (Tran Thi Mai Huong – Ho Chi Minh City)
