What Are Wisdom Teeth?

Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are the last set of teeth to develop and emerge in your mouth. Here’s what you need to know:

Typically appearing in the late teens or early twenties, wisdom teeth can often cause problems due to lack of space in the jaw. When these teeth don’t have enough room to emerge properly, they can become impacted, leading to pain, infection, and other dental issues. In many cases, removing wisdom teeth is recommended to prevent these potential problems.

Why Third Molar Extraction May Be Necessary

1.

Pain or Discomfort

Persistent pain or discomfort in the back of the mouth, often caused by impacted wisdom teeth, can indicate the need for removal.

2.

Increased Risk of Infection

Swelling, redness, or tenderness around the gums at the back of the mouth can be signs of an infection due to impacted wisdom teeth.

3.

Crowded Teeth

Wisdom teeth can cause overcrowding in your mouth, pushing other teeth out of alignment. This can lead to orthodontic issues that may require further treatment.

4.

Impacted Teeth

When wisdom teeth don’t have enough room to emerge or develop normally, they become impacted. This can lead to pain, swelling, and infection.

About 85% of third molars will eventually need to be removed, according to the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons.

Wisdom Teeth Removal FAQs

If you have any questions about wisdom teeth removal, we’ve got answers.

Wisdom teeth usually emerge sometime between the ages of 17 and 25.

Most people have their wisdom teeth removed sometime during their high school or college years. But they can continue developing until you’re nearly 30 years old. We typically recommend removing your wisdom teeth as soon as side effects like infection, impaction, or pain develop before they can cause damage to your neighboring healthy teeth.

At The Smile Spa, we will take periodic dental X-rays to evaluate your wisdom tooth development. This imaging allows us to identify the best time for wisdom tooth removal, depending on your circumstances.

Choosing to have your wisdom teeth removed at The Smile Spa offers several advantages:

  • Early Intervention: Addressing wisdom teeth issues early can prevent more complex problems in the future.
  • Pain Relief: Eliminates discomfort caused by impacted or misaligned wisdom teeth.
  • Prevent Oral Health Issues: Reduces the risk of infections, cysts, and damage to adjacent teeth.
  • Maintain Dental Alignment: Prevents crowding and shifting of other teeth.
  • Improved Oral Hygiene: Makes it easier to clean your teeth effectively.

We will assess your case thoroughly to determine the best course of action. Sometimes we only need to remove one or two, and sometimes three or four.

We take special steps to make sure our patients are comfortable during their wisdom tooth removal appointment. We use numbing and sedation medications to help patients feel as little discomfort as possible. In addition, we will provide you with appropriate post-procedure medications and instructions for pain relief.

Wisdom teeth are harder to remove than other teeth because they’re not just one simple extraction but four teeth located in the back of the mouth, usually close to major nerves. Typically, wisdom tooth extraction is performed by our dentist or an oral surgeon, with the option of sedation during the procedure.
