Why Remove your Wisdom teeth?
Why Remove Your Wisdom Teeth?
Wisdom teeth, also known as 3rd Molars, are the last adult teeth in the mouth to develop, usually around age 18. Often there is not enough space for these teeth, even after the completion of bone growth and development, or they may be growing in at an odd angle. As a result, they may become partially or fully impacted within the bone.
Over time these trapped teeth can develop problems and affect other teeth and tissues in the mouth. Some people may never experience problems with their wisdom teeth, while others will require that they be removed.
If there is not enough space for your wisdom teeth, we will likely recommend having them removed. Your dentist can help you with everything from preparation to aftercare and recovery.

Why have your wisdom teeth removed?
Anytime you’re experiencing pain or discomfort from your wisdom teeth becoming impacted, you’ll most likely need them removed. The longer impacted wisdom teeth are left untreated, the more likely you will experience issues, including:
- Damage to other teeth if the wisdom teeth stay hidden under the gums
- Gum disease or infection from wisdom teeth growing out only partially, creating an opening for bacteria
If you’re experiencing any of the problems mentioned above, this is a sign that it’s time to have your wisdom teeth extracted.
Are your wisdom teeth impacted?
When your wisdom teeth grow crooked or on an angle, or if there is not enough space for them, it can result in an impacted tooth. Some people experience uncomfortable symptoms due to impacted wisdom teeth, while others do not.
