4 wisdom teeth are rotting and breaking away.

Wisdom teeth: Will not self repair. If they are "rotting and breaking away" they are infected and can cause serious bodily harm, even death. Imperative that you see a Dentist or Oral Surgeon immediately to prevent this from happening. Don't wait, go now!
