However, while it is common to have 4 wisdom teeth, 35% of the world\u2019s population is born without wisdom teeth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some people may have only 1, 2, or 3 wisdom teeth. Having fewer than 4 wisdom teeth is considered normal unless there are other underlying dental issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Myth_2_Everyone_will_need_to_remove_their_wisdom_teeth\"><\/span><strong>Myth #2: Everyone will need to remove their wisdom teeth<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the biggest misconceptions about wisdom teeth is that everyone will need to have their wisdom teeth removed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though this is a common experience for many, wisdom teeth are only extracted if they are causing issues or will cause issues in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s a brief list of common instances in which wisdom teeth would require extraction:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Jaw damage<\/li><li>Inflamed gums<\/li><li>Damage to other teeth<\/li><li>Decay&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Some people may never have their wisdom teeth grow in and cause problems.

Your dentist will likely provide you with pain management medications to help with any discomfort you might experience at home.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Myth_5_You_cannot_eat_after_removing_wisdom_teeth\"><\/span><strong>Myth #5: You cannot eat after removing wisdom teeth<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is commonly believed that a long term liquid-diet is necessary after wisdom teeth extraction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though it is true that you should eat foods that are softer and easy to ingest, you will be capable of eating and even chewing in a short amount of time after extraction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, many people will recover and return to their normal dietary routine in as little as a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Myth_6_The_only_way_to_remove_wisdom_teeth_is_through_surgery\"><\/span><strong>Myth #6: The only way to remove wisdom teeth is through surgery<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is actually possible to have a nonsurgical <a href=\"https:\/\/mouthninja.com\/tooth-extraction-myths\/\">tooth extraction<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your wisdom teeth have started to erupt through your gums, you might be eligible to get your wisdom teeth removed without surgery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nonsurgical tooth extraction still uses anesthesia but instead of major surgery, the tooth will just be pulled out.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Myth_7_All_of_your_wisdom_teeth_have_to_come_in_before_they_can_be_removed\"><\/span><strong>Myth #7: All of your wisdom teeth have to come in before they can be removed<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You do not need to wait until all of your wisdom teeth start poking through or until you feel pain to seek extraction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some people might only need some but not all of their wisdom teeth removed.

It is difficult to predict when wisdom teeth will erupt, and for some people, wisdom teeth will not grow in at all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some people will need extraction at an earlier age than others depending on what kind of issues are present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Myth_10_Wisdom_teeth_have_no_purpose\"><\/span><strong>Myth #10: Wisdom teeth have no purpose<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Wisdom teeth function like any other tooth in your mouth.
