I'm a single, Modern Orthodox, Jewish man.
I live in Ellington CT and I'm currently the Co-President of my synagogue, Congregation Knesseth Israel.
I work as a paramedic for the Ambulance Service of Manchester, a commercial ambulance service that does both emergencies and routine transports throughout the region.

I enjoy Bicycling, Reading (Sci-Fi/Fantasy, Biographies, History), Blogging, Watching Movies on DVD (Yeah Netflix!), and meeting people.
I'm looking for that proverbial nice Jewish girl who isn't intimidated by someone who's observant. I want to settle down and raise a nice, observant family.

Hi, I'm 17/f and I'm worried. How can you tell if your wisdom teeth are going to grow in properly, and does anyone know the amount of space you will need for them to grow? Not precise, but about how much? thanks.
There's really no hard and fast answer to the first part of your question. It depends on a lot of factors like the size of your mouth and teeth, whether you've lost any other teeth, etc.
In most developed countries, where the food is soft and dental hygiene is good, the third molars don't have enough room to erupt properly.
You should ask your dentist, who may have you consult with an oral surgeon. You'll need to have an x-ray to see where all your teeth are and how they're developing.
If there is a problem, the earlier you have the surgery, the less pain and recovery you'll have.
I had my wisdom teeth out before they ever bothered me on the recommendation of my dentist and two oral surgeons. I slept through one day using Tylenol with Codeine but didn't need the pain meds after the one day.
My brother, on the other hand, waited until his teeth began to hurt before he did anything. He had a much tougher time recovering afterwards.
So, to summarize, go see your dentist and get the ball rolling.
Best Wishes.
