Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are the last set of teeth to develop in the back of the mouth, typically appearing between the ages of 17 and 25.
Wisdom teeth usually come in at an angle or may become impacted, which means they are unable to fully emerge from the gums.
Impacted wisdom teeth can cause pain, swelling, and infection in the gums and may lead to the development of a cyst.
These teeth may also push against the other teeth and cause crowding or misalignment.
Due to the potential complications that can arise with wisdom teeth, many people choose to have them removed by an oral surgeon.
This procedure is known as wisdom teeth extraction.
Wisdom teeth extraction is a common procedure, and it is typically performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on the number of teeth being extracted and the patient’s level of anxiety.
It is important to consult with a dentist or oral surgeon if you have any concerns about your wisdom teeth.
They will be able to examine your teeth and gums and advise you on the best course of action for your individual situation.
