Question: My molars have been growing for over a year now Is this normal Should i take it out Especially because it brings me so much pain and discomfort and I have food particles that hide there
Answer: Hi and sorry about your painful molarsIn addition to what my colleague said I am guessing the said painful molars are the last  teeth on each side of the lower jawI am saying that because these last molars3rd molars as they are called  are the last to grow into the mouth and as such would have arrived when all other teeth would  have taken up most of the space available  on both sides of the jawsAs a result of the limited space available these last molars dont end up growing properly such that the gums around them bear the brunt of food packing and even chewingNow the process of repeatedly chewing directly on these gums make you end up with an extremely painful  condition called PERICORONITISWhen such happensthe ultimate solution is to remove the said impacted 3rd molars
Kindly visit your dentist for appropriate examination and treatment  plan
