What are Wisdom Teeth?
Wisdom teeth are the backmost molars, and the last to emerge. While the rest of your teeth come in before adolescence, wisdom teeth donβt erupt until the teenage or early adulthood years. Most peoplesβ mouths canβt comfortably house the additional wisdom teeth.Β
Why Remove Wisdom Teeth?
Wisdom teeth often come with a host of oral health concerns. Due to the tightness of space in the mouth, neighboring teeth may block wisdom teeth from fully coming in. This may lead to impacted wisdom teeth that are stuck beneath the gums.Β
Other concerns with wisdom teeth include:
- Overcrowding shifts your existing teeth and disrupts alignmentΒ
- Pain from teeth trying to come in or while impactedΒ
- Food particles can become trapped in gum tissue near the area
- Nearby teeth are harder to clean, which can lead to tooth decay
Removing wisdom teeth helps avoid or relieve those common issues. It helps preserve your existing dental alignment and health.Β
