WISDOM TEETH REMOVAL
Not all wisdom teeth need to be removed. But sometimes wisdom teeth can create problems in the jaw and adjacent teeth. They might also impact a person’s ability to maintain good oral hygiene in the back corners of their mouth. In these instances, your dentist might recommend removing them.
Wisdom teeth are the upper and lower third molars, located at the very back of your mouth. They are the last teeth to surface in the mouth. They are called wisdom teeth because they usually come in when a person is 17 to 21 years old which is considered old enough to have gained some “wisdom.”
Some people have their wisdom teeth for their entire lives. Other people choose to have their wisdom teeth removed, sometimes before these teeth have broken through the gums.
