Wisdom Teeth Removal

First of all we want you to know what wisdom teeth are.Your wisdom teeth are your third molars and located at the very back of your upper and lower jaw.They get their name because they often appear when you’re in your late teens to early twenties - old enough - when you’ve gained some experience and wisdom. However, not everyone will get wisdom teeth and some people are born without them. Secondly, we should know why wisdom teeth may cause problems. A wisdom tooth is affected if it gets stuck in your gums and is unable to reach its normal position (maybe because its tilted or another tooth is blocking it). Affected wisdom teeth can be painful and cause problems with chewing, swollen gums, infection, and damage to neighbouring teeth.

Wisdom teeth can also be partially affected-meaning the tooth has broken through your gums. Partially affected wisdom teeth can cause cavities and gum disease because they are more difficult to clean. Most people who have problems with wisdom teeth are between the age of 16 to 20 years old. People over 35 are less likely to have issues related to wisdom teeth. However, it’s not uncommon for people to need surgery to remove their wisdom teeth even in their thirties or forties.
