What is wisdom teeth removal?
Wisdom teeth are the third and final set of molars that typically develop between the ages of 18 and 24. While some people have enough room in their mouths for wisdom teeth to erupt normally, many do not.
Because wisdom teeth are located at the very back of the mouth, they are often harder to maintain and may be more likely to develop dental problems than other teeth.
Signs you may need a wisdom tooth extraction
While some wisdom teeth remain symptom-free, others can cause noticeable problems. Here are some signs and symptoms that you may need a wisdom tooth extraction.
Why should I get a wisdom teeth removal?
Not all wisdom teeth need to be removed. However, extraction is often recommended when wisdom teeth are likely to cause problems now or in the future.
Increased risk of tooth decay
Partially erupted wisdom teeth can be difficult to brush and floss, increasing the risk of cavities.
Risk of gum disease and infection
Food particles and bacteria can become trapped around wisdom teeth, leading to inflammation, infection, and gum disease.
Development of cysts
In some cases, impacted wisdom teeth can contribute to cyst formation, which may affect surrounding bone and teeth.
