What You Need To Know About Wisdom Teeth Removal

Why do we have to have our wisdom teeth removed? It seems like its just part of growing up.

In our mouths, we have teeth called “Third molars”. Those are what we call “Wisdom Teeth” These teeth are usually the last four to emerge, usually making their appearance in our mouths somewhere between the ages of 17 and 25.

Here Are Some Of The Most Common Questions We Get About Wisdom Teeth

  • The term “wisdom” comes from the idea that our molars surface at a time when we our bodies and minds are maturing. There’s not much to it other than that.

  • The problem is that In most cases, inadequate space in the mouth does not allow these new teeth to emerge properly. When this happens, the tooth does not function properly and can become impacted. Left alone, this may cause problems such as tooth decay or infection. 

  • Wisdom teeth removal is a common procedure for us. We perform the highly successful surgery under local anesthesia or intravenous (IV) sedation.
