Wisdom teeth are the last set of molars that typically grow at the back of the mouth, usually between the ages of 17 and 25. While some people have no issues with their wisdom teeth, others may experience problems if there isn’t enough space for them to come through correctly.
This can lead to impacted wisdom teeth, which may grow at an angle, get stuck under the gum, or cause pain, swelling, and infection. In some cases, removal is necessary to prevent discomfort and protect surrounding teeth. Regular dental check-ups can help monitor your wisdom teeth and determine if they need treatment.
A wisdom tooth extraction may be necessary if your wisdom teeth are causing discomfort or complications. Impacted wisdom teeth, where the teeth do not have enough room to emerge properly, can lead to pain, swelling, infection, or damage to neighbouring teeth.
Other reasons for extraction include infection, cavities that are difficult to treat, or gum disease around the wisdom tooth area. If your wisdom teeth are growing at an angle or causing misalignment of your other teeth, removing them can help prevent long-term oral health issues. Regular dental check-ups can help determine if extraction is the best option for you.
