Understanding Wisdom Teeth
Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, typically emerge between the ages of 17 and 25. However, many individuals experience difficulties when their wisdom teeth begin to erupt. Here are some common reasons why wisdom tooth extractions are often recommended:
- Insufficient Space: Due to limited space in the mouth, wisdom teeth may not have enough room to fully emerge. As a result, they can become impacted or partially erupt. Impacted wisdom teeth can lead to a range of problems, including pain, infection, and damage to adjacent teeth.
- Misalignment: Wisdom teeth may grow at various angles, including horizontally or at an angle towards neighboring teeth. This misalignment can cause crowding, shifting of teeth, and bite irregularities.
- Increased Risk of Infections and Decay: Wisdom teeth are challenging to clean properly due to their location at the back of the mouth. Consequently, they are more susceptible to bacterial growth, leading to infections, gum disease, and tooth decay.
If you are experiencing symptoms or have concerns related to your wisdom teeth, we invite you to schedule a consultation at Pembroke Pines Dental Solutions. Together, we will determine the most appropriate course of action to safeguard your oral health and maintain a beautiful, healthy smile for years to come.
