Why remove wisdom teeth?
The eruption of four wisdom teeth (also called third molars) can pose a threat to your oral health. Wisdom teeth often become impacted and can severely disrupt the alignment of your smile, cause infection, damage the jawbone and lead to long-term oral health issues.
Symptoms of Wisdom Teeth Issues
Red, tender, bleeding or swollen gums
Jaw joint pain or aches
Headaches
Swelling around the jaw
Halitosis (chronic bad breath)
A sour taste in your mouth
Difficulty opening and closing your mouth
Occasional swollen lymph nodes in the neck
More About Wisdom Teeth Removal
Is this usually a preventative procedure?
More than 10 million wisdom teeth are removed in the United States each year and approximately 60 percent of these extractions are elective and not required at the time.
Why shouldn't I wait on wisdom teeth removal?
We recommend wisdom teeth removal for patients in their late teens to early twenties. If you wait too long for wisdom teeth removal your jawbone and teeth begin to set. As they get harder, the wisdom teeth are even more difficult to remove and the procedure becomes even more complex.
