When is wisdom teeth removal necessary?
Wisdom teeth, also called third molars, are the last teeth to develop and typically emerge in the late teens or early twenties. Most people have four wisdom teeth—one in each corner of the mouth. These teeth are a remnant from our ancestors who needed extra molars to grind down plant tissue and raw foods.
Today, our jaws are often smaller, and there frequently isn’t enough room for wisdom teeth to emerge properly. This lack of space can lead to various problems that make removal necessary.
Not everyone needs wisdom teeth removal, but common reasons include:
- Impaction when wisdom teeth are unable to fully emerge through the gum tissue
- Crowding and misalignment when wisdom teeth push against other teeth
- Infection and inflammation around partially erupted wisdom teeth
- Decay and gum disease because wisdom teeth can be difficult to clean properly
- Cysts or tumors around impacted wisdom teeth that can damage surrounding bone or teeth
- Pain and discomfort from ongoing pressure or irritation
