What Are Wisdom Teeth and Why Do They Need Removal?
Wisdom teeth are the final set of molars that usually appear between the ages of 17 and 25. While some people have no issues, many experience problems due to lack of space or improper positioning.
Common reasons for wisdom teeth removal include:
- Impacted wisdom teeth trapped under the gums or growing at an angle
- Jaw pain or pressure
- Tooth decay caused by trapped food and bacteria
- Infection and swollen gum tissue
- Crowding or shifting of nearby teeth
- Development of cysts around the tooth
Even if symptoms are mild or not yet present, early removal may be recommended to prevent more serious dental issues later.
