Wisdom Teeth & Extractions

Wisdom Teeth and Extractions

Wisdom Teeth 

Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars (3rds), are the four back teeth that generally erupt between the ages of 17 and 21. Wisdom teeth are more likely to be impacted as they are the last teeth to erupt. 

Having your wisdom teeth removed is a procedure that helps to protect oral health. The procedure also protects your overall health and wellness. Because of this, nearly 85% of people have had their wisdom teeth removed by adulthood. 

Those who do not remove their wisdom teeth will want to schedule routine dental appointments as there are chances of developing problems with wisdom teeth over time. Removal of wisdom teeth is a very common procedure.

Tooth Extractions

There are many reasons a patient may need to have a tooth extracted, including decay (aka cavity), malposition, bone loss, infection, trauma and / or pathology. Even though permanent teeth are built to last a lifetime, that is not always the case. Extracting a tooth or teeth is a very common procedure.

Did You Know?

Symptom-free doesn’t mean disease-free! Even if your wisdom teeth aren’t causing pain, now may be a good time to remove them. Untreated wisdom teeth can cause periodontal disease, infection, pain, decay, sinus issues, impaction, crowding of existing teeth, cysts and/or tumors
