What Are Wisdom Teeth and Why Might They Need Removal?
Wisdom teeth are the last and final set of molars to emerge, typically between the ages of 14 and 30. Not everyone develops wisdom teeth, and not everyone who develops wisdom teeth experiences issues. For some however, wisdom teeth can cause complications which, if left untreated, could result in tooth decay, misalignment, gum disease or pain. Very often, limited space in the mouth can prevent wisdom teeth from coming through properly. In some cases, the wisdom teeth may only partially erupt, causing crowding, infection or cavities. In more severe situations, wisdom teeth can become impacted, trapped beneath the gums, leading to bacterial buildup and painful infections. Our dedicated team is here to help you every step of the way, ensuring that you feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible during your wisdom teeth procedure!
