What Are Wisdom Teeth?

Wisdom teeth are the third and final set of molars that typically emerge at the back of the mouth in the late teens or early twenties. Because they often don’t have enough room to come in properly, they can lead to crowding, impaction, infection, or damage to neighboring teeth, making removal a common preventive recommendation.

Why Third Molar Extraction May Be Necessary

1. Tooth Impaction

Wisdom teeth often become trapped beneath the gumline or bone, causing pain, swelling, and pressure on the surrounding teeth and jaw structure.

2. Crowded Teeth

When third molars push against neighboring teeth, they can disrupt your bite and undo the results of previous orthodontic treatment over time.

3. Recurring Infection

Partially erupted wisdom teeth create pockets where bacteria thrive, leading to repeated infections, gum inflammation, and persistent bad breath.

4. Decay or Damage

Wisdom teeth are notoriously difficult to clean thoroughly, putting them and their neighboring molars at high risk for cavities and decay.

GET STARTED TODAY

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